Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Muhammad bin Tughlaq was a very attractive character in the history of medieval India owing to his ambitious schemes and novel experiments.
His experiments ended in miserable failures because they were all far ahead of their time. He was very tolerant in religious matters. He maintained diplomatic relations with far off countries like Egypt, China and Iran. He also introduced many liberal and beneficial reforms. But all his reforms failed.
Contemporary writers like Isami, Barani and Ibn Battutah were unable to give a correct picture of his personality. But, Muhammad bin Tughlaq was the only Delhi Sultan who had received a comprehensive literary, religious and philosophical education.
