BEGINNING OF DELHI SULTANATES

 The Sultanates of Delhi were the important figure in Indian history. We cannot skip this chapter without any lapses. India's fertility invited many invaders in Medieval India. Much known was Muhamed- Bin-Quasim who invaded with a remarkable attitude who ravaged almost everything but he only touched the rim of India. The most important invader was Gazini Muhammed who invaded India approximately 17 times and defeated the Shahi dynasty. His most important invasion was the Somnath temple invasion(1025) which was his 16th invasion where he destroyed every important information about the temple even he plundered every wealth in that Somnath temple.

     The history indicates the invasions till now but then came Gori Muhammed who intended to live in India and defeated Prithiviraj Chauhan, Rajput king in the Battle of Terrain(1192) even Gori Muhammed lost the first battle of Terrain(1191) to Prithiviraj Chauhan.

After his victory over Prithiviraj Chauhan, Gori Muhammed made Qutbuttin Aibak who was a worthy general was appointed as a deputy in India. Later the death of Gori, Aibak continued as a monarch which starts the reign of the Slave dynasty.

Thus Delhi Sultanates highly cover five dynasties viz., The Slave dynasty or Mamluk dynasty(1206 - 1290), Khiliji dynasty (1290 - 1320), Tuglaq dynasty (1320 - 1414), Sayyed dynasty (1414 - 1451), and finally came Lodi dynasty (1451 - 1526). We are here to unearth the history of sultanates with so many intense existences from our forthcoming post.
