Muhammad Bin Tughlaq, who ruled from Delhi in the fourteenth
century, was a man of many dimensions. A well-read scholar of the
arts, theology, and philosophy, a brilliant calligraphist, a
mystic, as well as a poet, it is the 'madness' that earned him the
epithet 'Mad Muhammad', that Karnad explores in the play.
Using history and myth in equal measure, Karnad delves into the
psyche of Muhammad to understand and interpret the rationale behind
his whimsical actions. Operating at both symbolic and metaphoric
levels, the action of the play is closely paralleled with
'contemporary' political and social events.
The new Prologue by Karnad recounts the personal history behind the
genesis of the play as well as its afterlife-the many productions
and general reception. With an Introduction by U.R. Ananthamurthy
and an essay by Aparna Dharwadker, this Oxford India Perennials
edition is the testimony of Tughlaq's enduring influence even after
four decades of its first publication.
