Detailed explanation-1: -c According to historian Ziauddin Barani the ideal Sultan of Delhi was Firoz Shah Tughlaq. The Tarikh-i-Firozshahi Firoz Shah’s History 1357 was an interpretation of the history of the Delhi Sultanate up to the then-present Firoz Shah Tughlaq.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, Barani’s ideal polity or the theory of kingship advised sultans how to maintain their power in the state and ensure the welfare of people. He suggested that it was necessary for a ruler to create fear among common people as well as the nobles for healthy rule.
Detailed explanation-3: -In his book ‘Tarikh-i-Phiruz Shahi’, written during the Sultanate period, he has stated that the purpose of the historiographer is to not only write about the ruler’s valour and progressive policies, but also to point out his flaws and deficiencies.
Detailed explanation-4: -He refused to consider the state in India under Delhi Sultans as truly Islamic as the Sultan supplemented the Muslim law by framing his own regulations.
