Answer:
According to the ‘circle of justice’ it was important for military commanders to keep the interest of peasantry in mind. As is clear from the following:

  1. A king survived on soldiers.
  2. Soldiers worked for salaries.
  3. Salaries came from revenue collected from peasants.
  4. Peasant would pay revenue when they are prosperous and happy. This in turn will happen when there is justice and honest governance.

6. What is meant by the ‘internal’ and ‘external’ frontiers of the Sultanate?
Answer:  The ‘internal’ frontier means the hinterland of the garrison town.
The ‘external’ frontier means the areas beyond the hinterland of the garrison towns.

7.  What were the steps taken to ensure that muqtis performed their duties? Why do you think they may have wanted to defy the orders of the Sultans?
Answer:
Steps taken to ensure that the muqtis performed their duties well:

  1. Appointment of accountants to check the amount collected by the muqtis.

  3. Fixation of limit to keep the required number of soldiers.
  4. They might be shifted to another area.

Answer:

  • Alauddin Khalji constructed a new garrison town at Siri for his soldiers. He imposed taxes on land to feed the army at the rate of 50 percent of peasant’s yield. He began to pay the soldiers in cash.
  • Muhammad Tughluq shifted people of Delhi to Daulatabad in south and thus converted Delhi into a garrison town. He also disbanded the army. He also paid the soldiers in cash.

9. Do you think the authors of tawarikh would provide information about the lives of ordinary men and women?
Answer:  I don’t think like that. It is because the authors of tawarikh lived in cities mainly Delhi. They were not in touch of village people. They often wrote their histories for Sultans in the hope of rich rewards. They had nothing to do with common mass. Hence, it was obvious that the information provided by them would lack ordinary men and women.

10.  Raziyya Sultan was unique in the history of the Delhi Sultanate. Do you think women leaders are accepted more readily today?
Answer:
We think that even today women leaders are not accepted more readily. We can see this in respect of 33% reservation of women in parliament.

Answer:
The Delhi Sultans were interested in cutting down forests to expand their kingdom which was till then restricted to the Delhi Sultanate.

The iron tools shown on page 79 are: tongs, axe and sickle. Out of these tools, sickle would have been important for agriculture.Other tools would have been used for the following purposes:

  • Tongs would have been used by a blacksmith for making tools from hot iron.
  • Axe would have been important for cutting trees to gather firewood.

6. Compare the drainage system in your locality with that of the cities mentioned in the lesson. What similarities and differences do you notice?

Answer:

The drainage system in our locality is highly developed. We have an underground drainage system in which the bathrooms, toilets, and kitchens are connected to the main drains outside the houses.

If we talk about the ancient times, the archaeologists have found rows of pots, or ceramic rings arranged one on top of the other in many cities. These were known as ring wells. These seem to have been used as toilets in some cases, and as drains and garbage dumps. These ring wells were usually found in individual houses.

Similarities: The drainage system in our localities is well-planned. The same system was adopted in the cities mentioned in the lesson.

Differences: Today’s modern drainage systems are made of durable materials like concrete, PVC pipes and metals. The drainage in ancient times was made out of wood, mud bricks and thatch that was not durable and could not survive for long.

7. If you have seen crafts persons at work, describe in a short paragraph what they do. (Hint: how do they get the raw materials, what kind of equipment do they use, how do they work, what happens to the finished product)

Answer: 

I have seen crafts persons like blacksmiths and goldsmiths in villages and cities. Blacksmiths are a common sight who can be seen working with their tools to make different types of iron objects like doors, chairs, ladders, etc. They first collect the iron sheets and rod and then mend them into desired shapes by heating them to high temperatures. Some of the basic tools used by blacksmiths are hammers, tongs, chisels, flatters, etc. The finished product is sent to local or urban markets for sale.

8. List the functions performed by men and women who live in your city or village. In what ways are these similar to those performed by people who lived in Mathura? In what ways are they different?

Answer: 

In the cities, men and women are engaged in different kinds of jobs to feed their families. They work in offices or have their own business. Mathura was located on important trade routes. The people here worked as goldsmiths, blacksmiths, weavers, basket makers, garland makers, perfumers. Farmers and herders from adjoining areas worked to provide food for people in the city.

The life of people of our cities and that in Mathura was different only in the aspect of the presence of advancement and technology. Today, most people are working offices, banks, schools, colleges, etc., but all these were not present in ancient times. In those days, people were generally involved in crafts work that required them to be skilled and well trained in their work. They need to do all work manually.
