Delhi Sultanate
Muhammad Ghori defeated Jaichand in theBattle of Chandavar and this laid foundation of the Turkish Sultanate in India. But, in this situation, the Khokkars revolted in Punjab. Muhammad Ghori suppressed this revolt. But when he was coming back to Delhi in 1206, he was killed at the place called Damyak.
Actually, he had no sons. So, the charge or responsibility of India’s Turkish Empire came in the hand of his Slave officers. In these circumstances, Qutubuddin Aibak saw a dream to start an independent Sultanate in India. So, from here, the story of Delhi Sultanate started.

But if you have read Abraham Eraly’s Age of Wrath: A History of the Delhi Sultanate, and you stand next to the tomb of the sultan who established the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526), with a little imagination you might feel a rush of euphoria mixed with pure dread.
These paradoxical emotions are a result of Eraly taking full advantage of the broadest range of individuals who made up the court of the Delhi sultans: the rulers themselves, of course, but also eunuchs, slaves, assassins, patrons of culture, builders, poets, conservatives, noble benefactors, and warriors of all stripes.
