Question

Muhammad bin Tughlaq is known for his experimental projects. Which of the following was NOT one of them?

  1. Transfer of the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad
  2. Introduction of token currency
  3. Military expedition to Khurasan
  4. Abolition of Jaziya

Answer:

Option D: Abolition of Jaziya

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Abolition of Jaziya”.

While Muhammad bin Tughlaq implemented several ambitious and often unsuccessful projects like the transfer of capital, token currency, and the Khurasan expedition, the abolition of Jaziya is not attributed to him. It was temporarily abolished by Akbar.
