  Daulatabad - LoveToKnow 1911
The former city of Daulatabad (Deogiri) has shrunk into a mere village, though to its earlier greatness witness is still borne by its magnificent fortress, and by remains of public buildings noble even in their decay.
The tribute falling into arrear, Deogiri was again occupied by the Mahommedans under Malik Kafur, in 1307 and 1310, and in 1318 the last raja, Harpal, was flayed alive.
Deogiri now became an important base for the operations of the Mussulman conquering expeditions southwards, and in 1339 Mahommed ben Tughlak Shah determined to make it his capital, changed its name to Daulatabad ("Abode of Prosperity"), and made arrangements for transferring to it the whole population of Delhi.

Deogiri fort is the crowning piece of the rock-cut art that had begun in Nane Ghat wherein the early Satavahanas had excavated a Vihara, that has one of the earliest inscriptions of Satavahanas.
Deogiri, which was renamed Daulatabad in the Muslim period is a fort par excellence of ancient India.
One has to see Deogiri to appreciate the skilful manner in which the hill has been scarped all round vertically from the ground level to 150 ft. Around the escarpment is dug in solid rock a ditch or a moat forty cubits in width and thirty in depth.

Deogiri now became an important base for the operations of the Delhi Sultanate's conquering expeditions southwards, and in 1339 Muhammad bin Tughluq determined to make it his capital, changed its name to Daulatabad (Abode of Prosperity), and made arrangements for transferring to it the whole population of Delhi.
The project was interrupted by troubles which summoned him to the north; during his absence the Muslim governors of the Deccan revolted; and Daulatabad itself fell into the hands of Zafar Khan, the governor of Gulbarga.

 Muhammad bin Tughluq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To have better administration of these southern parts of the Empire, Muhammad moved the capital from Delhi to Deogiri in the Deccan in the early part of his reign, renaming the city Daulatabad.
Instead of moving just his government offices there, his plan was to forcibily move the entire population of Delhi to the new capital.
But the plan failed due to inadequate arrangements in Deogiri and the capital had to be shifted back again to Delhi after two years.

The invasion of Arangal therefore can now be under­taken with the certainty that, in Deogiri, there was a staunch ally, who could be depended upon for such support and assistance as may be required by the invading army.
It undoubtedly is on the road from Deogiri to Warangal.

In the latter half of the twelfth century the power of the Chalukyas was broken by rebellions and towards the end of the century the greater part of their dominions was seized by the Yadavas of Deogiri on the north and the Hoysalas of Dvarasamudra on the south.
His objective was Deogiri, of the wealth of which kingdom he had heard in the course of his forays in Central India.
Ala-ud-din not only carried off from Deogiri an enormous quantity of plunder, but was strong enough to insist on the assignment of the revenues of Ellichpur and the districts attached thereto, which probably included the whole of the Amraoti District and the rest of northern Berar.

In 973 a descendant of the Chalukyas overthrew the last of the Rashtrakutas but was not able at once to establish his authority in the northern provinces of the kingdom which had been ruled by them, and Berar remained part of the dominions of the raja of Malwa until the Chalukya reconquered it in 995.
In the latter half of the twelfth century the power of the Chalukyas was broken by rebellions, and towards the end of that century the northern provinces of their dominions were seized by the Yadavas of Deogiri.
The last independent raja of Deogiri was Ramachandra, styled Ramdeo by Muhammadan historians, who was defeated in 1294 by Ala-ud-din, the nephew and son-in-law of Jalal-ud-din Firoz Shah Khilji of Delhi, and became a tributary of the emperors of Delhi.

 Daulatabad Fort  - Ticketed Monument - Archaeological Survey of India
Daulatabad (190 57’ N; 750 15’ E) is located at a distance of 15 km northwest of Aurangabad, the district headquarters and midway to Ellora group of caves.
This led to another successful campaign against Deogiri by Qutb-ud-din Mubarak Shah Khilji and the fort was annexed to the Delhi Sultanate.
Muhammad-bin-Tughluq succeeded the Khiljis at Delhi and he renamed Deogiri as Daulatabad and seeing its impregnable fort, shifted the capital from Delhi in A.D. This led to serious repercussions and he had to again transfer the capital back to Delhi.

Although at first these expeditions were essentially raids that left the Hindu dynasties intact, gradually a series of local revolts and reconquests from Delhi led to the incorporation of these realms into the empire.
Tog@loq (725-52/1325-51) made Deogiri the secondary capital of his realm in 728/1328, transferring most of the Muslim population of Delhi there the following year; he briefly controlled the entire Deccan, as well as the Tamil and Malabar country in the extreme south.
With the transfer of the Muslim population to Deogiri in 729/1329 the Persian culture that flourished in the Delhi sultanate was transplanted to the Deccan.
