Abstract
The Turkish Sultans brought with them the ideas of an agrarian system of their own which were in consonance with the Islamic law and not subject to alternation by the kings. But in Indian environment the Delhi Sultans implemented the agrarian system in accordance with the circumstances and situation prevailing in India during the thirteenth century. There were aspects wherein the Islamic system differed or had inherent implications for the non-Islamic subjects. In these cases, the Indianization of certain Islamic norms on the subject took place. Land revenue was the main source of income of the state; the Turkish rulers could not reorganize the agrarian system according to strict Islamic principles without exposing their financial system to grave risks.
