Which dynasty ruled over Delhi during 1290 to 1320?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Khalji

The Delhi Sultanate was ruled by the Khalji Dynasty.

  • The Khalji Dynasty was in power from 1290 until 1320.
  • The Khalji dynasty's rise to power is regarded as a revolution since it lessened the influence of Turkish officials in the government.
  • Jalal-ud-din Khalji, who ruled from 1290 to 1296, founded it.
  • Early Turkish kings, including Qutbuddin Aibak, Shamsuddin Iltutmish, Raziya, and Ghiyasuddin Balban, governed the Khilji dynasty (1206–1290), which succeeded the Mamluk or Slave dynasty.
  • The first Delhi Sultan to accept investiture from the Caliph and to stray from the custom of dressing the sultan as his subordinate was Alauddin Khalji.
  • Qutb-ud-din Mubarak, the son of Alauddin Khalji, became the Khalifa in his own right.
