  • Five dynasties ruled during this period.
  • The rulers belonged to the Ilbari Turkish clan.
  • Qutubuddin Aibak founded the Slave Dynasty.

  • Aibak was called Lakh Baksh for generous donations.

  • He got approval from the Khalifa.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Qutubuddin Aibak was the real founder of the Delhi Sultanate.

The words Slave Dynasty and Mamluk mean something shameful and different from each other.

Iltutmish was just another ruler, not very important.
