TUGHLAQ Story :

Girish Karnad's TUGHLAQ explores the tragic mass displacement ordered by Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq, forcing his subjects to migrate from Delhi to Daulatabad and back. The play critiques Tughlaq's visionary yet rigid and self-centered rule, where his desire to transform humanity isolates him from his people. His unilateral decisions, like evacuating Delhi, sever his connection with his subjects, leading to rebellion and the decline of his authority. The suffering masses, though mostly silent, symbolically reflect the erosion of the kingdom. The play resonates universally, highlighting the Tughlaq-like desire in all of us to impose our visions on the world, often to futile and disastrous ends.
