In the year 1327-28 AD, Sultan Mohammad bin Tughlaq the ruler of Tughlaq dynasty, decided that he would move his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad. The Sultan's decision was a put a great effect on the surrounding petty stataes. In this period, the Tughlaq Empire was surrounded by rebellions on every side, and it was also far away from Southern provinces it was time when whole  India was governed by the same ruler. And Delhi was very far from the South India as the Capital, the market of the rebel days was hot. It was decided to keep the brawl of these rebellions and grip on the whole of India.

On the orders of the Sultan, honorable people, officials and families of Delhi were ordered to migrate to the new capital Daulatabad in South.

In the first few years, there was a lot of peace and the decision was to be successful. But as soon as the Sultan proceeded towards the northern western provinces and both capitals had been vacant, the Amir raised the head, which is worth mentioning, Malik Hushing, Nusrat Khan, Ali Shah etc.

 Sultan send his patriot Qutluq Khan to fight with the rebels and he had some success. But some consulers agreed the Sultan to call him back from this campaign.

In the meantime, the chanting Amir took Nasiruddin Ismil Shah, the independent Sultan of Deccan . Deccan's self-determination became the focus of Baroda, Gujarat and Maharashtra. And thus the grip of the Sultan began to weaken on the south, and the dream of controlling the south from Delhi over.

To curb this, Sultan send royal army but they failed. And Sultan was in deep sorrow and he pleased to Almighty Allah for recapture of Daulatabad.
