The Delhi Sultanate

The Lodi dynasty, which ruled the Delhi Sultanate, was of Afghan origin.

The Battle of Haldighati was fought between the Mughal Empire (under Akbar) and the forces of Maharana Pratap of Mewar. It did not end the Delhi Sultanate, which had already been replaced by the Mughal Empire.

The Sayyid dynasty ruled for a relatively short period (1414-1451) compared to other dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate.

While Qutb ud din Aibak founded the Slave dynasty, Iltutmish is often considered the 'real' founder because he consolidated the empire, established the capital at Delhi, and secured the throne.

Firoz Shah Tughlaq is credited with founding several towns, including Firozpur, during his reign as the Sultan of Delhi.

Allauddin Khalji was the most powerful and expansionist ruler of the Khalji dynasty, known for his administrative reforms and military conquests. Jalaluddin Khalji was the founder but did not reach the same level of imperial power.

Razia Sultan (or Razia al-Din) was the first and only female ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, reigning from 1236 to 1240.

Qutb ud-din Aibak was a Turkic slave of Muhammad Ghori and served as his general before establishing the Slave Dynasty in Delhi.

Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq (also known as Ghazi Malik) founded the Tughlaq dynasty in 1320 after ending the rule of the Khilji dynasty.

The five dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate were the Slave (Mamluk), Khalji, Tughlaq, Sayyid, and Lodi dynasties.
