Explanation

Mohammad-bin-Tughlaq attempted to issue coins without the Caliph's name as a symbol of independent authority, but faced strong opposition from the orthodox Ulemas and nobility who viewed this as against Islamic tradition. He was forced to restore the Caliph's name to maintain political and religious legitimacy.
