Quotes about Muhammad bin Tughlaq of Delhi Sultanate

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."
