Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq (r. 1325–1351) gave significant patronage to Jain scholars, demonstrating his remarkable intellectual tolerance. He invited and honored the renowned monk Jinaprabha Suri at his court in Delhi, where he was impressed by Suri’s knowledge and eloquence. In return, the Sultan granted the Jain community tax concessions and official firmans (orders) protecting their pilgrimage sites and temples, making him a unique benefactor of non-Islamic faiths among the Delhi Sultans.
