Explanation

Qutb-ud-din Aibak (with typos 'Kutubudin' and 'Ebak') was indeed the founder of the Slave (Mamluk) dynasty, the first dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. He started as a slave of Muhammad Ghori but rose to become a general and then ruler after Ghori's death in 1206 CE. He ruled from Lahore and started the construction of Qutub Minar. The Khilji, Tughlaq, and Mughal dynasties all came later.
