Quotes about Muhammad bin Tughlaq of Delhi Sultanate


With the best intentions, excellent ideas, but no balance or patience, no sense of proportion, Muhammad Tughlaq (sic) was a transcendent failure - ­ Stanley Lane-Poole.  

Muhammad Tughlaq was "a Prince of Moneyers" - Edward Thomas.

On Muhammad Tughlaq’s death Badauni, wrote, “Muhammad bin Tughlak was freed from his people and they from their king."

According to Stanley Lane-Poole, the transfer of capital by Muhammad bin Tughlaq from Delhi to “Daulatabad was a monument of misdirected energy."
