Explanation

Muhammad bin Tughlaq (1325-1351) notoriously shifted his capital from Delhi to Devagiri (renamed Daulatabad) in 1327, forcing mass migration that caused immense suffering. The move was later reversed. Muhammad bin Qasim invaded Sindh, Qutbuddin Aibak was a Delhi Sultanate founder, and Mahmud Ghazni raided India.
