The above statement is true.
Barani criticised Muhammad bin Tughluq. Ziauddin Barani was a Muslim political theorist who lived in the Delhi Sultanate. Tarikh-i-Firoz Shahi, a work on medieval India, which spans from Ghiyas ud din Balban's rule to the first six years of Firoz Shah Tughluq's reign and the Fatwa-i-Jahandari, which supported a racial hierarchy among Muslim communities in the Indian subcontinent, are two of his most well-known works. Barani criticised Muhammad Tughlaq's choices, saying it was against the "social order" to elevate Ladha and Pira, two gardeners, a wine distiller, a barber, and a cook to high administrative positions. Their appointments, he claimed, were evidence of the Sultan's decline in political wisdom and his inability to rule.
