Editorial atlas · Delhi Sultanate
New ruling houses in Delhi meet resilient regional states and expanding trade.
The interactive map shows the atlas’s nearest drawn reconstruction (c. 1320 CE). Frontiers moved in between, so use the list of powers below for 1340 CE.
In 1340 CE, power in the subcontinent was shared among 7 major states and dynasties. Dates are conventional estimates.
The sultan moved courtly populations toward Daulatabad, issued token currency and pursued ambitious taxation and campaigns. These measures show a ruler seeking tighter control, even as implementation produced hardship and rebellion.
Later narratives often reduce the reign to eccentric failure. A fuller view asks why a geographically enormous state repeatedly tested new methods of revenue, mobility and communication.
