- 2Establishment of the Diwan-i-Amir-i-Kohi (Department of Agriculture) to extend arable land and introduce crop rotation by Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq
- 3Institutionalization of the Nayankara military-administrative framework in Southern India during the peak reign of Krishnadevaraya
- 4Promulgation of the Ain-i-Dahsala (Ten-Year Land Revenue Settlement System) by Raja Todar Mal under Emperor Akbar
Cevap
The correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest is: Formal organization of the Iqta administrative system by Sultan Iltutmish (c. 1220s CE) → Establishment of the Diwan-i-Amir-i-Kohi by Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq (c. 1326–1330 CE) → Institutionalization of the Nayankara framework under Krishnadevaraya (c. 1509–1529 CE) → Promulgation of the Ain-i-Dahsala revenue settlement by Raja Todar Mal under Akbar (1580 CE).
The chronological progression reflects the structural evolution of medieval Indian statecraft across different dynasties and regions. Sultan Iltutmish organized the Iqta system in the early 13th century (c. 1220s CE) to consolidate territorial control. Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq created the Diwan-i-Amir-i-Kohi in the 1320s CE to boost agricultural output. In Southern India, Krishnadevaraya consolidated the Nayankara system during his reign (1509–1529 CE). Finally, Raja Todar Mal introduced the Ain-i-Dahsala revenue settlement in 1580 CE under Mughal Emperor Akbar.
