Explanation:

Muhammad bin Tughlaq founded a new city, called Jahanpannah (meaning, "Protection of the World"), which connected older Delhi with Siri. Later, he ordered that the capital of his Sultanate be moved from Delhi to Deogiri in present-day Indian state of Maharashtra (renaming it to Daulatabad). Muhammad bin Tughlaq was an intellectual, with extensive knowledge of Quran, Fiqh, poetry and other fields. He was deeply suspicious of his kinsmen and wazirs (ministers), extremely severe with his opponents, and took decisions that caused economic upheaval.
