Girish Karnad's second play Tughlaq (1964) has been remarkably fabricated as a historical play. It was first produced in Kannada in 1965 after that it was translated into other languages.

Karnad took a historical theme- the turbulent reign and paradoxical character of Tughlaq- for developing the plot of this famous play
