Answer:
Muhammad bin Tughlaq (also known as Prince Fakhr Malik Jauna Khan, Ulugh Khan); c. 1290 – 20 March 1351) was the Sultan of Delhi from 1325 to 1351. He was the eldest son of Ghiyas-ud-Din-Tughlaq, the founder of the Tughlaq dynasty.[1] Ghiyas-ud-din sent the young Muhammad to the Deccan to campaign against king Prataparudra of the Kakatiya dynasty whose capital was at Warangal in 1321 and 1323.[2] Muhammad has been described as an "inhuman eccentric" with bizarre character by the accounts of visitors during his rule,[3] he is said to have ordered the massacre of all the inhabitants of the Hindu city of Kannauj.[4] He is also known for wild policy swings.[5] Muhammad ascended to the Delhi throne upon his father's death in 1325. He was interested in medicine and was skilled in several languages — Persian, Arabic, Turkish and Sanskrit.[6] Ibn Battuta, the famous traveler and jurist from Morocco, was a guest at his court and wrote about his suzerainty in his book.[7]
