The Khalisa land or crown land, developed significantly under Sultan Alauddin Khalji (1296–1316). He expanded it by confiscating nobles’ grants and abolishing Iqtas in the fertile Doab region. This centralization provided a massive, direct revenue base for his large standing army and famous market control policies. ANSWER: (A) Alauddin Khalji

    1. Khalisa land, the territory whose revenue went directly to the Sultan’s treasury, was greatly expanded during the reign of Alauddin Khalji. His key reforms involved confiscating land grants (Inam, Waql) from religious figures and nobles and eliminating the revenue-assigning Iqta system in the fertile Doab region. This centralization was critical. It ensured a direct and reliable revenue stream, allowing him to impose a 50% tax (Kharaj) and sustain his immense standing army and his strict market control system.

      ANSWER: (A) Alauddin Khalji
