Firuz Shah Tughlaq established the Diwan-i-Bandagān, a separate department to manage his large corps of slaves. Alauddin Khalji did not create a new Ariz department (the post existed earlier), the branding (dagh) of horses began under Alauddin, not Balban, and Muhammad bin Tughlaq was succeeded by his cousin Firuz, not an uncle.([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firuz_Shah_Tughlaq?utm_source=openai))
