South Asia (14th – mid-15th c.)

South Asia from 1301 to the middle of the 15th century. In the 14th century the Tughluq sultans of Delhi briefly extended their sway deep into the south: Muhammad bin Tughluq made Daulatabad in the Deccan his second capital and tried a token currency, while revolts tore his empire apart and new states arose in the south — the Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagara and the Bahmani Sultanate. Firuz Shah ruled a smaller realm remembered for its canals and new towns; in Kashmir the mystic Lal Ded composed some of the earliest known poetry in Kashmiri; and in 1398 Timur's sack of Delhi left the sultanate a shadow of itself.
