Medieval and Islamic History

Qutubuddin Aibak issued copper coins bearing Arabic inscriptions, though he may not have issued gold coins. As the first ruler of the Mamluk dynasty, he established the monetary system in the Delhi Sultanate. His successor Iltutmish expanded this by introducing the silver tanka and gold jital.

Qutubuddin Aibak ruled for only four years (1206-1210) as a subordinate of the Caliph, and coins were minted in the Caliph's name rather than his own. This reflected the nominal suzerainty of the Abbasid Caliph over the Delhi Sultanate in its early years. His successor Iltutmish later established the practice of minting coins in the Sultan's own name.

During the Sultanate period, the Majumdar (or Mustaufi) was responsible for maintaining income records and revenue accounts. This official worked under the Diwan-i-Wazarat (finance department). The Amir Kohi looked after agriculture, Muktakharaj was a revenue officer, and Diwan was a broader title for finance ministers.

Qutubuddin Aibak began construction of the Qutub Minar in 1193 and built the first storey, which is considered the main portion. Iltutmish added three more storeys later. The tower was built to celebrate his victory over the Rajputs and as a tower of victory.

Qutub Minar was built by Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the founder of the Slave Dynasty in India, starting in 1193 AD. It was completed by his successors Iltutmish and Firoz Shah Tughlaq. Aurangazeb, Jahangir, and Shahjahan were Mughal emperors who ruled much later.

This is the correct answer. Ibn Battuta reached Sind in 1333. He had heard about Muhammad bin Tughlaq, the Sultan of Delhi, and lured by his reputation as a generous patron of arts and letters, set off for Delhi, passing through Multan and Uch.

Qutubuddin Aibak, a Turkish slave general, founded the Slave Dynasty (also known as the Mamluk Dynasty) in India in 1206 CE after the death of his master Muhammad Ghori. He was the first Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate and ruled from 1206 to 1210 CE. The dynasty is called the Slave Dynasty because several of its rulers were originally slaves who rose to power.
