Abstract
Muhammad Tughluq was indisputably the talented man among the kings of the medieval period. He ruled between (AD1325-1351). Mohammad bin Tughluq is an extraordinary personality, and to determine his place in the history is a difficult task was he a genius or a lunatic? An idealist or a visionary? A bloodthirsty tyrant or a benevolent? A heretic or a devout Mussalman? Of all kings, who had sat upon the throne of Delhi since the Muslim conquest, he was unquestionably the most educated and accomplished, nature had gifted him with a genius memory, a keen and all-pervading intellect, and a massive capacity for integrating knowledge of all kinds. He was equally good in logic, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, and the physical sciences. No one could surpass him in composition and calligraphy; he had at his command, a good deal of Persian poetry, of which he made a very extensive use in his writings and speeches. On the other hand, Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq was a multifaceted person with both sympathetic and liberal traints, and narrow minded, determined and cruel qualities. Some historians state that Sultan Muhammad Bin Tughluq was a mixture of opposites; he was the wisest but at the same time the most foolish, the most respectful and the most disrespectful, the most compassionate and embarrassing and the cruellest and the disrespect, the most generous and liberal. Here in our present article, we are trying to analyse his three big Megha projects i.e. taxation in the Doab, Transfer of Capital to Daulatabad, Currency experiment token currency. From the point of his emotional and administrative approach. Study is based on the narratives of the foreign traveller, contemporary writers’ scholars’ i.e. Habibullah Muhammad Ibn-Batuta, Zia-ud-Din Barani, Dr Haq, prof KA Nizami, Edward Thomas, Ferishta, KA Nizami.
