Agriculture in Tughlaq Era

During the Tughlaq era (1320-1414 CE), agriculture saw significant changes aimed at increasing productivity and revenue. The rulers promoted the use of irrigation, introduced new crops, and encouraged farming innovations. They implemented taxation reforms to better collect revenue from farmers, sometimes using land assessments. While there were advances, some policies also faced resistance, and enforced taxation sometimes led to hardships for farmers. Overall, the period reflected efforts to strengthen agricultural productivity and state revenue, contributing to the economic foundation of the Tughlaq dynasty.
