When I began my college journey, I often felt lost. Notes were scattered, the internet was overflowing with content, yet nothing truly matched the needs of university exams. I remember the frustration of not knowing what to study, or even where to begin.
That struggle inspired me to create Examopedia—because students deserve clarity, structure, and reliable notes tailored to their exams.
Our vision is simple: to make learning accessible, reliable, and stress-free, so no student has to face the same confusion I once did. Here, we turn complex theories into easy, exam-ready notes, examples, scholars, and flashcards—all in one place.
Built by students, for students, Examopedia grows with your feedback. Because this isn’t just a platform—it’s a promise that you’ll never feel alone in your exam journey.

Nasir-ud-din Muhammad Tughlaq (reigned 1390–94 AD) was Firoz Tughluq’s younger son Muhammad who attempted to ascend to the throne as Nasiruddin Muhammad shah. He opposed the ascension of Abu Bakr to the throne and eventually defeated him to ascend the throne himself. After his death, his younger son Nasiruddin Mahmud succeeded him.
Background
- Nasir-ud-Din Muhammad ruled for about four years, from 1390 to 1394. His first mission was to crush Abu Bakr and his followers.
- When the Hindus of Etawah, led by Narsing, Sarvadharan, and Bir Bhan, rose up in revolt in 1392, Islam Khan was dispatched to crush them.
- Nasiruddin Mahmud bestowed the title of Malik-us-Sharq on Malik Sarvar. In Jaunpur, Sarvar established the Sharqi dynasty.
- When Sultan Abu Bakr Shah Tughluq ascended to the throne of the Tughlaq Empire, Muhammad Shah, his uncle, was opposed to him and fought Abu Bakr for control of the throne.
- Abu Bakr was eventually defeated, and Muhammad Shah succeeded him as king, reigning from 1390 to 1394.
