Tughlaq

Tughlaq – a book that analyzes the original play by Girish Karnad from various academic perspectives, rather than a standalone summary of the play. The critical study offers detailed discussions on the play’s themes, characters, and structure, but does not provide a simple summary.  The book by Shakti Batra primarily serves as study material for students, providing a thorough investigation, character sketches, and critical appreciation of Girish Karnad’s classic play. The play itself is a historical drama centered on the 14th-century Sultan of Delhi, Muhammad bin Tughlaq, portraying him as an idealist whose grand visions lead to chaos and tyranny due to poor execution and a disconnect from his people.
