Two statements are given below, one is called Assertion (A) and other is Reason (R) Assertion (A): Balban made his rule powerful and centralized all the powers in his hand. Reason (R): He wanted to secure North-West frontiers from Mongol attack.

Question

Accepted Answer

A and R both are true and R is not correct explanation of A. Balban was the first ruler of Delhi sultanate to elaborate on the position and authority of the sultan. Balban’s theory of kingship had two main features : first the position of the sultan is conferred by God and second sultan must be autocratic. The main objective of all these works was to increase the prestige of the Taj that is why Balban made his rule powerful and centralized all the powers in his hand. The statement that, 'He wanted to secure North-West frontiers from Mongol attack is also true'. So both statements are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
