The name "Muhammad bin Tughlak" evokes laughter
and images of an eccentric, erratic, foolhardy, monarch
who shifted capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in the Deccan
and back to Delhi again!
Some history texts suggest that the king
was no fool and that, annoyed with them
he wanted to teach the citizens of Delhi a lesson!
Whatever the reasons, it cannot be disputed
that the citizens of Delhi suffered and suffered badly
took them years/ generations to rebuild
and restore normalcy!
