- As soon as he came to Dehli, Sultan Mubrarik did not put him under
heavy fetters and custody, as his Muslim enemies had expected, but being
extremely pleased with the immense treasure Khushrukhan had laid at his
feet and the unlimited power he had gained for the Delhi Sultanate,
Mubarik, on the contrary, conferred upon Khushrukhan the administrative,
military, civic and all other residual authority. And if he had put anybody
under arrest, it was the great Muslim noblemen and Khankhanas of the
court, who were dismissed for charging Khushrukhan unreservedly.
770A. On the other hand, in the regime of Khushrukhan as the chief
administrator, the strictest bans against the Hindu introduced by Allauddin
in former days were now being gradually relaxed; the exploitation of the
Hindu-Muslim farmers, and the people in general, also was stopped; the
Hindus, too, got much relief in matters religious; the common discontent
amongst the subjects against the tyrannical rule of the emperors was on the

from the vexatious taxes and restrictions imposed on them by Allauddin and
the untold humiliation they had to undergo. Khushrukhan began to be
popular amongst the Muslim farmers and other citizens, because of the
relief they got from heavy taxes. And, above everything else, because of his
military exploits, which had resounded throughout the whole of India and
his superb adroitness in statecraft, many of the high-ranking Muslim
noblemen had enlisted themselves on his side. - Seeing such a favourable opportunity, Khushrukhan and Devaldevi
thought the right moment had come for them to proclaim boldly their grand
scheme of a politicial revolution—for one who hesitates to undertake this
hazard under favourable circumstances must be a coward, who would
accomplish no daring feat! It was not merely a coup d'etat in a small state;
it was an imperial revolution, which sought to subvert the India-wide
unitary and danger-free Muslim empire of the late Allauddin and of the
