Tughlaq Dynasty (1320-1414)

This dynasty was founded by Ghiyasuddin (Gazi Malik) Tughlaq in 1320 after the assassination of Khusro Khan. The most famous of this dynasty was Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Another important ruler of this dynasty was Firoz Shah Tughlaq. He was the one who devised irrigation schemes for agricultural development and imposed a tax called 'Jaziya' on Hindus. After Firoz Shah, the dynasty weakened. In 1398, Timur invaded India during the reign of the last king of the Tughlaq dynasty, Muhammad bin II.
