The Answer is:
Historians have portrayed Sultan Muhammad Tughlaq as a contradiction in terms since he was both incredibly humble and extremely pompous. He was extraordinarily generous at times and extremely narrow-minded at others.
- Muhammad Bin Tughluq was the second Sultan of the Tughlaq dynasty, ruling the Delhi Sultanate from 1320 to 1413 CE. Because of his proclivity to make extreme decisions that give us alternative perspectives on the ideals that drove his life, he is described as a mash-up of numerous personas.
- Most visitors to Delhi during Muhammad Bin Tughluq's reign described him as a devout Muslim.
- Philosophy, medicine, mathematics, religion, and Hindustani poetry were among his interests.
- Simultaneously, he would do whatever to diminish the influence of any philosopher or religious professor.
- He regarded them as a menace and would charge them at the slightest provocation.
- He would invite artists to his court, lavish them with gifts and rewards, and then execute them!
- He was incredibly smart, but once he had a criminal, who was dismembered, and cooked. He then offered the prisoner's meat to his relatives. Those who refused to eat were immediately executed!
- Most of Muhammad Bin Tughluq's policies were unsustainable and had to be reversed.
- The most well-known example is his choice to relocate his capital from Delhi to Devagiri, often known as Daulatabad, and then back to Delhi. This, though, was only one of his numerous misjudgments.
- Muhammad Bin Tughlaq was a genius with a deep mind who never considered practical difficulties.
- He was an idealist who sought to impose idealistic laws on the Empire, which backfired.
- As a result, his decisions frequently appear contradictory.
- He is known as the "Mixture of Opposites" because he may be both the best and the worst king of the Delhi Sultanate at the same time.
