Years: 1348 - 1359

The sultanate, under its second Tughluq emperor, Muhammad, has reached its greatest extent yet, its territory stretching from Bengal to Panjab and from the Himalayas almost to the subcontinent’s southern tip.

Muhammad bin Tughluq is an able general but geography and the machinations of ambitious local rulers hinder his effective administration of an empire of this size.

Shortly after Muhammad’s death in 1351, the Sultanate shrinks to the boundaries of Sultan 'Ala'-ud-Din Khalji’s reign at the turn-of-the-century.
