Economic History

Alauddin Khalji (r. 1296-1316 CE) was the most powerful ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. His reign saw repeated Mongol invasions repulsed, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Malwa and much of peninsular India brought under Delhi, sweeping market regulation, and a centralised administration.

Islamic trade routes formed the backbone of medieval global commerce, connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa through sophisticated networks that facilitated the exchange of goods, knowledge, and cultural practices for over a millennium.
