THE OUTLYING REGIONS 181 arms across the Narbada, and, during a portion of the fourteenth century, there were Deccan provinces subject to Delhi. Alauddin did not introduce his distinctive revenue- system in this tract, and practically all we know about it is that the practice of Farming existed. Judging by the particular instances recorded, the farms were given for large areas, entire provinces or groups of provinces; and, in the reign of Muhammad Tughlaq, they were held, some- times at least, by mere speculators. The disintegration of the Delhi kingdom resulted in the formation of two Moslem States in the Deccan, Khandesh in the North, and beyond it the Bahmani kingdom. About the end of the fifteenth century the latter broke up into five units, Berar, Ahmadnagar, Golconda, Bidar, and Bijapur, so that in the sixteenth century there were six powers in all, which were reduced to three by Akbar’s annexation of Berar and Khandesh, and the absorption of Bidar by its neighbours. For the history of these two centuries we are dependent almost entirely on the chronicle written by Muhammad Qasim Firishta,! whose work suggests that he was not interested in agrarian questions. We learn from it incidentally that Assignments were com- mon, and that Reserved areas existed, in the Bahmani kingdom (320,356); but there is nothing to show what share of the produce was ordinarily claimed by the king, or how it was assessed and collected, nor are there any details of interest relating to the organisation of the village or the other topics at present under our consideration. We have seen, however, that assessment by nasag had been the rule for a long time in Berar when it was annexed by Akbar, and that probably the same system prevailed at the same period in Khandesh: for the kingdoms further to the South [ have found no similar information. The exact meaning of the term nmasaq in this connection is uncertain, as has already been explained, It points definitely to assessment on a village (or a larger area), not on individual peasants; t The references to Firishta are to the Cawnpore lithographed text of 1873; I have checked the relevant passages by the Bombay edition giving Briggs’ text, and found no material difference. Briggs’ translation is juite useless for administrative details owing to the looseness of the rerminology employed by him.
