Q. Which of the following provincial kingdom became independent sultanate from Delhi Sultanate?

[A] Madurai

[B] Devagiri

[C] Kakaitaya

[D] Dwarasamudra

Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation: Muhammad Tughluq (1325–51) even tried to make Devagiri (renamed as Daulatabad) as the capital to command the vast conquered territory more effectively.

  • But his experiments failed and brought misery to the people. When he shifted the capital back to Delhi, his subordinates in the south declared independence.
  • Thus, Madurai became an independent Sultanate in 1333.
