Question

Select the failed plan of expedition put forth by Muhammad bin Tughlaq:

• A. Qarachil expedition
• B. Plan to conquer Assam
• C. Plan to conquer Vijayanagara empire
• D. Plan to conquer Tamil Nadu

Answer 1

The correct option is A Qarachil expedition

Tughlaq wanted to take advantage of the political instability in central and west Asia and planned an expedition to conquer the vast lands of Khurasan and Iraq. The idea was dropped as the conditions became unfavourable. He carried out an expedition in the Kulu-Kangra region of Himachal. This was known as the Qarachil expedition. This expedition failed due to the incompetence of his army.
