Alauddin Khilji's Market-Control System

Alauddin Khalji controlled the markets and fixed the value of daily use goods. It was a unique experiment for that era. We get its information from Ziauddin Barani's Fatwa-e-Jahandari.

Alauddin divided the markets into 3 parts -

  1. Market of food grains,
  2. Sarai-e-Adal - a market for clothing and manufactured goods,
  3. Animal and slave market - Market of horses, cattle, and slaves.

Department and Officer

Alauddin entrusted the entire system of market control to the Diwan-i-Riyasat (Commerce Minister) and appointed his trusted Amir Yakub to this post.

Shehna-e-MandiMarket Superintendent
MuhatasibCensor officer
BaridaDetectives who reach near the 'city' by collecting information from time to time
