Consider the following statements regarding the agrarian policies of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq:
1. He discarded Alauddin Khalji's system of land measurement (Zabt) and revived the system of crop-sharing (Batai).
2. He restored the traditional perquisites and privileges of the rural intermediaries (Khuts, Muqaddams, and Chaudhuris).
3. He decreed that the land revenue of any iqta should not be enhanced by more than 1/10th or 1/11th in a single year.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

Question

Accepted Answer

All three statements are correct. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq tried to ease the harsh economic policies of Alauddin. He favored 'Hukm-i-Hasil' (crop sharing) over 'Hukm-i-Misahat' (measurement), restored the status of rural elite, and emphasized gradual revenue increases rather than sudden heavy taxation.
