- 1:07Now, let's get into our topic. The
- 1:10Slave dynasty ruled from 1206 to 1290;
- 1:13it is also called the Mamluk dynasty. "
- 1:18Mamluk" is an Arabic word meaning slave
- 1:20. After Muhammad Ghori died, his
- 1:25generals declared their independence.
- 1:30Muhammad Ghori had entrusted some of
- 1:32the territories he conquered in India
- 1:34to his governor, Qutb-ud-din Aibak.
- 1:37After Muhammad Ghori’s death,
- 1:39Qutb-ud-din Aibak declared his
- 1:41independence and ruled on his own.
- 1:44While he ruled some areas, other
- 1:46governors ruled the remaining
- 1:47territories. After declaring
- 1:50independence, Qutb-ud-din Aibak
- 1:52established an empire in Delhi. That
- 1:55was the Delhi Sultanate, and the
- 1:57dynasty he founded is called the Slave
- 1:59dynasty. This is because Qutb-ud-din
- 2:03Aibak was a slave to Muhammad Ghori, so
- 2:05he and his successors are called the
- 2:07Slave dynasty. Qutb-ud-din Aibak was
- 2:11the first independent Muslim ruler of
- 2:13India. He held the titles of Lakh Baksh
- 2:16and Sipahsalar. Muslim historians of
- 2:18his time used to call him Lakh Baksh.
- 2:21Lakh Baksh means one who gives away
- 2:23lakhs in charity. He built the
- 2:25Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque in Delhi. It is
- 2:29the first mosque built in the
- 2:30Indo-Persian style. He built a second
- 2:33mosque in Ajmer. It is named Adhai Din
- 2:37Ka Jhonpra; he also started the
- 2:39construction of the Qutub Minar in
- 2:41memory of his Sufi teacher, Qutb-ud-din
- 2:43Bakhtiyar Kaki. He ruled with Lahore as
- 2:47his capital. Hasan Nizami, who was in
- 2:51his court, wrote the book
- 2:52Taj-ul-Ma'asir. In 1210, Aibak died
- 2:56after falling from his horse while
- 2:58playing a polo game. After Qutb-ud-din
- 3:02Aibak, his son Aram Shah came to power.
- 3:06Evidence suggests that he was a weak
- 3:08ruler. The Turkish army opposed him.
- 3:12His reign lasted only for eight months.
- 3:16Then came Iltutmish, who ruled from
- 3:181210 to 1236. He belonged to the Ilbari
- 3:23tribe; when he was young, his
- 3:25stepbrothers sold him as a slave to
- 3:26Aibak. Thus, he remained a slave to
- 3:31Qutb-ud-din Aibak and later became his
- 3:33army commander. Qutb-ud-din Aibak then
- 3:37gave his daughter in marriage to
- 3:39Iltutmish. In this way, he became
- 3:42Qutb-ud-din Aibak’s son-in-law. He
- 3:45was known as Sar-i-Jandar. He also held
- 3:48the title of Sultan. He used to give
- 3:51land to his military officers instead
- 3:53of salaries. He introduced Arabic coins
- 3:56in India. These coins weighed 175
- 4:00grains. These were silver Tanka coins,
- 4:03and he also introduced copper Jital
- 4:05coins. He fought a battle in the region
- 4:08of Tarain in 1215 CE. This is known as
- 4:11the Third Battle of Tarain. He spent
- 4:14the first ten years of his reign
- 4:15protecting his throne from his enemies.
- 4:20Muhammad Ghori's commanders, such as
- 4:22Yildiz, Qabacha of Multan, and Ali
- 4:24Mardan of Bengal and Bihar, rebelled
- 4:26against him. He defeated Yildiz in the
- 4:30Battle of Tarain. And he also drove
- 4:33Qabacha out of Punjab. He had a son.
- 4:38His name was Nasiruddin Mahmud, but
- 4:40Nasiruddin Mahmud died in a battle. In
- 4:44memory of Nasiruddin Mahmud, Iltutmish
- 4:46built a tomb called Sultan Ghari in
- 4:48Delhi. That is why he is also called
- 4:52the Father of Tombs. Qutubuddin Aibak
- 4:54had started the construction of the
- 4:56Qutub Minar. But he did not complete it
- 4:58. Iltutmish completed the remaining
- 5:00construction of the Qutub Minar.
- 5:03Minhaj-us-Siraj, from his court, wrote
- 5:06the book Tabaqat-i-Nasiri. During his
- 5:09reign, the borders of the Delhi
- 5:11Sultanate once again reached the Indus.
- 5:13After Iltutmish died in 1236 CE, his
- 5:16other son, Ruknuddin, became the Sultan
- 5:19of Delhi. Then, his sister and
- 5:23Iltutmish's daughter, Razia Sultan,
- 5:25removed her brother and became the
- 5:26ruler of Delhi. She was the first woman
- 5:30to rule the Delhi Sultanate. Razia had
- 5:34to fight against her brothers as well
- 5:36as powerful Turkish lords. And she
- 5:39ruled for only three years. Razia
- 5:42launched expeditions to control the
- 5:44Rajputs. And she successfully
- 5:47established peace and order throughout
- 5:49her kingdom. Razia appointed a slave
- 5:52named Yakut as the master of the royal
- 5:54horses. There are many stories
- 5:56suggesting that there were some
- 5:57relations between the two. However, the
- 6:00Turkish lords did not like making Yakut
- 6:02an official at all. Around 1239 CE,
- 6:05Altunia, the governor of Bhatinda,
- 6:08attacked Razia. Then Razia, along with
- 6:12Yakut, attacked Altunia. But on the way
- 6:15, Altunia's Turkish followers murdered
- 6:17Yakut and imprisoned Razia. Then the
- 6:21Turkish lords made Bahram, another son
- 6:23of Iltutmish, the king. However,
- 6:26Altunia was very fond of Razia.
- 6:29Therefore, Altunia married Razia. After
- 6:32this marriage, Razia went to Delhi. But
- 6:36she was defeated by Bahram Shah and
- 6:37killed on the way. Bahram Shah ruled
- 6:41from 1240 to 1242 CE. After him,
- 6:46Alauddin Masud Shah ruled from 1242 CE
- 6:49to 1246. He was the son of Ruknuddin
- 6:53and the nephew of Razia Sultan. After
- 6:56the death of Bahram Shah, he was chosen
- 6:58as the next ruler. However, he was a
- 7:01weak ruler. After him, Nasiruddin
- 7:03Mahmud became the ruler of this kingdom
- 7:06. He was the grandson of Iltutmish and
- 7:10ruled from 1246 to 1265 CE. He was very
- 7:16young when he ascended the throne and
- 7:18lacked experience; therefore, Balban,
- 7:20one of his subordinates, gave his
- 7:21daughter in marriage to him. Although
- 7:27Nasiruddin Mahmud was the king in name,
- 7:29it was his father-in-law Balban who
- 7:30decided what should and should not be
- 7:32done. Nasiruddin Mahmud died in 1265 CE
- 7:36. Many historians have provided various
- 7:39reasons for his death. According to
- 7:44some historians like Ibn Battuta and
- 7:46Isami, it is known that his
- 7:47father-in-law Balban poisoned him and
- 7:49ascended the throne himself. Balban
- 7:54ruled from 1266 to 1286. He also held
- 7:58the title of Zille-i-Ilahi. He
- 8:01established a military department
- 8:03called Diwan-i-Arz. He separated the
- 8:06qualified from the unqualified in the
- 8:07military department. He kept the
- 8:10qualified ones, removed the unqualified
- 8:12ones, and gave them pensions. He always
- 8:15used to wear expensive clothes. Also,
- 8:18he never spoke directly to the common
- 8:20people in his kingdom. He also set some
- 8:24rules for those who came into his court
- 8:26. If anyone entered his court, they had
- 8:29to walk only on their knees. And, they
- 8:31had to maintain silence in his court at
- 8:33all times. When the Mongols invaded
- 8:37Northwest India, Balban sent his son,
- 8:39Prince Muhammad, to fight them. But his
- 8:44son died in that battle. That was a
- 8:47very big blow to Balban. He was
- 8:49devastated by the death of his son. In
- 8:52the following days, Balban fell ill and
- 8:55died in 1286. After Balban's death, his
- 8:59grandson Kaiqubad was declared the
- 9:01Sultan of Delhi. Then, Jalaluddin
- 9:04Khalji, a great governor of the Slave
- 9:07dynasty, murdered Kaiqubad and
- 9:08established the Khalji dynasty over
- 9:11Delhi in 1290 AD. We also call this the
- 9:14Khalji Revolution. So that's it for
