Under which Delhi Sultan’s rule, was the Kharaj in the form of a proper land tax levied over large parts of northern India? A. Firoz Shah Tughluq B. Alaudin Khilji C. Qutbuddin Aibak D. Mahmood Shah

The correct answer is A. Firoz Shah Tughluq.

Firoz Shah Tughluq (1351-1388) was the fifth Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate. He was a great administrator and a successful military commander. He is best known for his land reforms, which included the introduction of a new land tax system called the Kharaj. The Kharaj was a land tax that was levied on all agricultural land in the Delhi Sultanate. It was a progressive tax, which meant that the rate of taxation increased with the value of the land. The Kharaj was a very effective way of raising revenue for the Delhi Sultanate. It also helped to improve the efficiency of the agricultural sector.

The other options are incorrect. Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316) was the second Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate. He was a great military commander, but he was not as successful an administrator as Firoz Shah Tughluq. Qutbuddin Aibak (1206-1210) was the first Sultan
