You were exceptional among ancient Indian emperors with vast learning, yet your silhouette stands under the signboard, engraved with ‘Intelligent Fool’, in the recess of history. It was tenable to transfer the capital to the thorax of your empire. But why’d you drag the people of Delhi to Devagiri? Your innovations turned curses and corpses in improper implementation. As a ruler’s thoughts fall into the maelstrom in brain, his subjects sink into the fathomless suffering. Nous deprivation determines decline of each reform. It’s fate you’re reborn on the earth again and again. First printed in Hawaii Review, Spring 2017(University of Hawaii) *Muhammad Bin Tughlug(1324-1351), was an ancient ruler of Delhi. Though he was a learned man, his reforms, including transfer of capital from Delhi to Devagiri, failed due to improper implementation.
