It explores the political career, administrative innovations, and complex personality of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq.

While providing insights into his intellectual depth and the dramatic consequences of his decisions.

• Muhammad bin Tughluq ruled the Delhi Sultanate from 1325 to 1351. He was known for being educated, ambitious, and visionary. He attempted major administrative reforms, revenue restructuring (for example, increasing taxes in certain regions) aiming for a more centralized and efficient rule. The book starts with the Sultan’s early life — as a prince named Jauna Khan — and charts his rise to becoming Sultan. Weaving in personal, political and social aspects to bring “the man behind the ruler” alive.

• It doesn’t just present a textbook-style history; the author reimagines the emotions, conflicts, decisions, and moral dilemmas of Muhammad bin Tughluq. Which gives a dramatic, engaging, and humanized portrait of a well-known but complex historical figure.
• He attempted several ambitious reforms: e.g. changes in taxation and revenue administration; agrarian reforms including crop rotation, state-farms, irrigation efforts; and efforts to centralize authority.
• If you enjoy historical fiction stories based on real history, but with emotion, drama, character arcs — then Muhammad Bin Tughlaq: Tale of a Tyrant is quite a good read. It gives you a vivid, readable picture of medieval India, of power, ambition and tragedy.
