A proposito di questo titolo

Episode 2 of The Delhi Sultanate and the Rise of Islamic Rule in India zooms in on the transformative reign of Alauddin Khalji (r. 1296–1316). Lucas and Luna explore how Alauddin seized the throne by assassinating his uncle, then launched bold military campaigns deep into the Deccan and against Mongol invasions. But his most radical legacy was economic: a state-controlled market system that fixed prices for grain, cloth, horses, and slaves, enforced by a ruthless intelligence network. Lucas explains how Alauddin's reforms aimed to maintain a large standing army without bankrupting the treasury, and how he used land revenue assessments (based on the model of the vizier Sharaf Qai) to squeeze the peasantry. They also discuss the controversial 'Hindu rate of growth' debate and Alauddin's destruction of Hindu temples as both political and ideological acts. Luna asks about the role of slaves in the sultanate and the fate of the market system after Alauddin's death. This episode covers the Siege of Ranthambore (1301), the conquest of Devagiri, the Mongol invasions of 1299 and 1303, and the construction of Alai Darwaza. A vivid look at state power, price controls, and medieval Indian warfare.
