SynopsisWhen his father dies, Prince Jauna Khan succeeds to the throne of Delhi as Muhammad bin Tughlaq. His reign will prove to be epic and bloody, but unsurpassed in splendour, innovation and defeat. The Sultan will go down in history for his brutality as well as his brilliance. A formidable strategist and remarkable scholar, Tughlaq will unfairly be remembered only as a cruel tyrant who might have been raving mad. His high-flown aspirations and grandiose ambitions may have met with crushing failure, but even so, Tughlaq was a great hero of the fourteenth century, albeit a tragic and fatally flawed one.
In this fictional retelling, Anuja Chandramouli, one of India's best mythology writers, reimagines Muhammad Bin Tughlaq's life and times in incredible detail to bring to life the man behind the monarch. This book will transport you to the magnificent Tughlaq era and leave you wanting more.
