ABSTRACT

Contemporary historians state that Tughluq had come to India during the reign of Alauddin Khalji. Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq had become Akhur Beg. But he could not stand the administration and had gone to his father at Dipalpur. The rule of Muhammad bin Tughluq could be viewed as a turning point in the history of Delhi Sultanate. The Delhi Sultanate had reached the top of its height during his reign. The ruling class under Muhammad bin Tughluq had a complete transformation. Alauddin Khalji had the idea that the ruling class would be formed on the basis of loyalty and efficiency and not on their racial characteristics. Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq was an enigmatic personality in the history of medieval India. He had far more qualities than those of his contemporaries.
