What to Focus On

  • The Sultanate period lasted from CE 1206 to CE 1526.
  • Five dynasties ruled during this period.
  • The rulers belonged to the Ilbari Turkish clan.

  • Qutubuddin Aibak founded the Slave Dynasty.
  • The dynasty was called Mamluk because its rulers had been slaves.
  • Aibak was called Lakh Baksh for generous donations.

  • Iltutmish is the real founder of the Delhi Sultanate.
  • He shifted the capital from Lahore to Delhi.
  • 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.
