Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In 1327, Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq ordered the shifting of his empire's capital from Delhi to Devagiri in the Deccan region, renaming it Daulatabad. He believed that a centrally located capital would help him control the southern parts of the subcontinent more efficiently. However, due to administrative difficulties, lack of water supply, and resentment among the population, the plan failed, and he eventually ordered the capital to shift back to Delhi.
