Tughlaq Dynasty
The Tughlaq Dynasty was a Muslim dynasty that ruled over the Indian subcontinent from the 14th to the 15th centuries. Founded by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq in 1320, it marked a significant period in the history of the Delhi Sultanate. The dynasty is known for its ambitious architectural projects and attempts to expand its territory, although it faced challenges such as internal strife and invasions.
One of the most notable rulers of the Tughlaq Dynasty was Muhammad bin Tughlaq, who is remembered for his innovative yet often impractical policies. His reign saw the introduction of new currency and the relocation of the capital from Delhi to Daultabad, which ultimately led to chaos. Despite its eventual decline, the Tughlaq Dynasty left a lasting impact on the region's culture and governance.
