D) A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Bahlol's theory was Kingship is Kingship" because Bahlol respected Afghan tribal sentiments. The Lodis were Afghans and the character of their kingship strongly reflected the tribal set-up of the frontier people. For instance, the army of the sultanate changed from a king's army to a sort of locally recruited tribal units. It was not centrally recruited, maintained or even administered, and hence lacked uniformity. The privilege of using elephants, which was earlier reserved for sultans came to be commonly practiced by nobles, who kept and fought on elephants. It was also during this period that the hub of power began to gradually drift towards Agra: from w-here it was found that regions of both Doab and Marwar could be better administered.
