Jalaluddin khilji

Allahuddin Khilji’s had 6 wives. Three of his wives were muslims and other three were Hindus. His first wife was Malika-I-Jahan Meherunissa (Empress of world) , the daughter of his uncle Jalaluddin Khilji the first Sultan of Delhi. Allahuddin was born in 1266 and was the son of Jalaluddin Khilji’s elder brother Shihabuddin Khilji. Shiabuddin Khilji and his wife died leaving Aalhuddin Khilji and his siblings which included his three younger brothers orphaned. Jalaluddin Khilji was the commander of Sultan Muizzuddin Qaiqabad and became an emperor after disposing his infant son on Delhi throne. Before Jalaluddin became an Sultan, he married off his daughter Meherunissa to his elder nephew Allahuddin Khilji. But once her father Jalalluddin Khilji became Sultan of Delhi Meherunissa became very haughty and proud. She wanted Allahuddin to bend to all her whims and fancy demands and would fight or humiliate him for small things. Even Meherunissa’s mother helped her and instigated her to behave badly with Alahuddin Khilji. Allahuddin bore all her trantrums but inside he was truly frustrated with her behaviour towards him in front of others only because she was a Sultan’s daughter. But once Alahuddin killed Jalaluddin Khilji and ascended the throne of Delhi, if he assumed that Meherunissa would behave nicely with him, he was wrong. Meherunissa’s behaviour remained even more abhorring as she never forgave him for killing her father. One day Alahuddin Khilji was sitting with his secon...

• The Khilji dynasty was a Muslim dynasty of Turkic origin. It was founded by Jalaluddin Firuz Khilji and became the second dynasty to rule the Delhi Sultanate of India. The dynasty is known for their faithlessness and ferocity. • Khiljis were vassals of the Mamluk dynasty (Slave dynasty) of Delhi and served the Sultan of Delhi, Ghiyasuddin Balban. Balban’s successors were murdered over 1289-1290, and the Mamluk dynasty succumbed to the factional conflicts within the Mamluk dynasty and the Muslim nobility. As the struggle between the factions razed, Jalaluddin Firuz Khilji led a coup and murdered the 17 year old Mamluk successor Muizuddin Qaiqabad – the last ruler of Mamluk dynasty. • Jalaluddin Firuz Khilji was accepted as sultan by a faction of Muslim amirs of Turkic, Persian, Arabic factions and Indian-Muslim aristocrats. However, Jalaluddin in his old age was unpopular and not universally accepted. During his six year reign (1290–96), some of Balban’s officers revolted due to his assumption of power and the subsequent sidelining of nobility and commanders serving the Mamluk dynasty. Jalaluddin suppressed the revolt and executed some commanders, then led an unsuccessful expedition against Ranthambhor and repelled a Mongol force on the banks of the Sind River in central India with the help of his nephew Juna Khan (Alauddin Khilji). • Juna Khan later to be known as Alauddin Khilji, was the nephew and son-in-law of Jalaluddin, raided the Hindu Deccan peninsula and Deogiri ...

The authorities have found a 13-century tunnel in Delhi's Hauz Khas area when they were digging the foundation of a children's museum during routine construction work. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is studying the tunnel. Prima facie, the tunnel was constructed in the 13th century by Allauddin Khilji. This tunnel is located near Siri Fort which was commissioned by Khilji who ruled Delhi at that time. ASI is studying old documents to find out more about the tunnel. A few years ago, an old wall was found in the same area. Siri Fort is currently in a dilapidated condition. Most of the area around the fort is under DDA. The decision on further excavation will be taken after a careful evaluation. The main motive behind building the Khilji Fort was to save the Delhi sultanate from the attacks of Mongols. According to HT, they found the arch-like structure when they were creating a four metre wide path from the front gate of the fort to the main road.

Jalaluddin Khilji (1290-96 A.D.): The Khiljis were another group of Turks who had settled in the Khilji region of Afghanistan. With the accession of Jalaluddin Khilji on the throne of Delhi, the su­premacy of the Turks ended in India. It established the strong position of the Indian Muslims. Kind by nature, Jalaluddin Firuz, the first Khilji ruler, was lenient in his treatment of the rebels. When the rebels were brought before him he excused them and treated them with respect. Likewise, he ordered that thugs who were a serious menace to the people and property around Delhi should be taken to far off places and set free. Only in the case of Sidi Maula he showed no clemency. Jalaluddin ascended the throne at the ripe age of seventy years and the weakness of old age affected his attitudes and activities. In 1290 AD he attacked Ranthambhor. On the way he attacked Jhain. On reaching the fort the sultan realized the futility of attempting to capture the fort. ADVERTISEMENTS: He withdrew the same day and told his nobles that he did not consider ten such forts worth a single hair of a Muslim. In 1292 AD, Mandawar was captured from the Rajput’s. The same year the Mongols under the command of a grandson of Halaqu, Abdullah attacked Punjab and reached near Sunam.

But afraid to face the main force o...
