2. The religious intolerance of Firoz shah Tughlaq.
3. Firoz shah Tughlaq allowed the ulemas to increase their influence upon the administration which further alienated the Hindu subjects of the sultanate.
4. Firoz shah Tughlaq also gave extensive authority to the nobles which weakened the central authority of the sultan.
5. The size of the sultanate had also become unweildy due to the conquests of Muhammad bin Tughlaq.
