Economic History

Alauddin Khalji (r. 1296–1316 CE) was the most powerful ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. His reign saw the repulsion of Mongol invasions, the conquest of much of peninsular India, sweeping economic reforms including price controls, and a highly centralized 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.
