Introduction

The Delhi Sultanate was an Islamic empire based in Delhi that stretched over large parts of the Indian subcontinent for 320 years.

Some of the major dynasties and rulers this period witnessed are listed below:

i. Slave (Ghulam) or Mamluk Dynasty

ii. Khilji Dynasty

iii. Tughluq dynasty

iv. Sayyid Dynasty

v. Lodi dynasty

Qutb al-Din Aibak, a former Turkic Mamluk slave of Muhammad Ghori, was the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, and his Mamluk dynasty conquered large areas of northern India.

Afterward, the victories of the Khilji dynasty expanded in the south. The sultanate reached the peak of its geographical reach during the Tughluq dynasty, occupying most of the Indian subcontinent. This was followed by decline due to Hindu reconquests, states such as the Vijayanagara Empire and Mewar asserting independence, and new Muslim sultanates such as the Bengal Sultanate breaking off.

In 1526, the Sultanate was conquered and succeeded by the Mughal Empire.

The sultanate is noted for its integration of the Indian subcontinent into a global cosmopolitan culture, being one of the few powers to repel attacks by the Mongols and for enthroning one of the few female rulers in Islamic history, Razia Sultana, who reigned from 1236 to 1240.
