"Tughlaq”, One of the Muslim emperor who ruled the Delhi sultanate from 1325-1351. The play is set during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq. He started his rule with great ideals of a unified India, but his ideas degenerated into anarchy.

Muhammad Bin Tughlaq was known as a mixture of opposites as he made his decisions at the wrong time and changed them when it was too late.

His plan of token currency emptied the state treasury. His plan of increasing state revenue through an increase in taxation brought ruin to the farmers. His project of change of capital from Delhi to Daultabad brought immense hardship to the people and did not materialize.

The play throws light on such incidents during his reign and challenges he faced in overcoming it."
