Dedicated to the last emperor of the Slave Dynasty, Ghiyas-ud-din Balban is the Tomb of Balban situated in the Mehrauli area of our National capital, Delhi. Ghiyas-ud-din was the last and ninth ruler of the slave dynasty who himself was captured as a slave by the Mongols. He had an extremely humbling start to his life as a water carrier boy and was sold as a slave in Afghanistan's Bazaars of Ghazni. History of Ghiyas-ud-din Balban The tomb was erected in the 13th Century AD and is a Mausoleum of Ghiyas-ud-din who was buried in the year 1287 AD. The Slave Dynasty, also referred to as the Mamluk Dynasty, was prominent between 1266 AD to 1287 AD. After being captured as a slave, Ghiyas-ud-din was sold to Ghazni Khwaja Jamal-ud-din Basri, a Baghdadi merchant. The merchant further sold Ghiyas-ud-din to Iltutmish and was released from bondage as per Iltutmish’s Emperor’s order, Qutub-ud-din Aibak who then ruled the Delhi Sultanate.
