The Khilji rulers imprint out their heredity to Central Asia and were of Turkish origin. They had been settled for a long time in present-day Afghanistan before coming to Delhi in India. The important rulers of the Khilji Dynasty were: • • Alauddin Khilji: Juna Khan, later known as Alauddin Khilji, was the nephew and son-in-law of Jalal-ud-din; hit the Hindu Deccan peninsula, Deogiri which was the capital of the Hindu of Maharashtra.

By the end of 1305, practically the whole of Northern India fell into the hands of Ala-ud- Din and he could very easily afford to direct his attention towards the conquest of the Deccan. There must have been both political and economic motives behind the campaigns of Ala- ud-Din and his lieutenants in the South. The wealth of the Deccan was too tempting to an enterprising adventurer. His ambition to establish his control over the South which had so fart not been conquered by the Muslims, must have led Ala-ud-Din to think of conquering Southern India. The political condition in the South was also favourable to Ala-ud-Din. There were four kingdoms in that region at that time. The first was the Yadava kingdom of Devagiri under Ram Chandra Deva (1271-1309). Telingana with its capital at Warangal was under Pratap Rudra Deva I of the Kakatiya dynasty. The Hoysala kingdom with its capital at Dwarsamudra was under Vira Ballala III (1292-1342). The Pandya kingdom of Madura wa: being ruled at that time by Maravarman Kulasekhara (1268-1311). There were some minor rulers like Manma Siddha ruling in the Nellore district, Bhanu-Deva ruling in Orissa, Ravi-Varman ruling from Kollam and Banki-Deva-Alupendra ruling from Mangalore. The Hindu rulers of the South were quarrelling among themselves and consequently they were not in a position to put up a united front. No wonder, they were disposed of one by one. Conquest of Devagiri (1307) : In March, 1307, Ala-ud-Din sent an expedition under M...

The Mughal Empire arose during the 16th century when Babur conquered the Delhi Sultanate in 1526 CE. The Mughals, who were Muslim, went on to rule a large swath of India, including the Deccan Plateau, which included Hindu and Shia Muslim kingdoms. The Deccan was incorporated into the Mughal Empire, and although previous emperors had policies for the Deccan, it was Emperor Aurangzeb's policies that would plant the seed of the Mughal Empire's decline. Let's take a closer look at Aurangzeb and his Deccan Policy. Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb was the son of Emperor Shah Jahan, the famous creator of the Taj Mahal, a memorial to his beloved wife Mumtaz. Aurangzeb took the power of the throne away from his father in 1658 CE and imprisoned his father. Emperor Aurangzeb was a devout Muslim and was more intolerant toward other religions than his predecessors. Prior to his rise to the throne, Aurangzeb had acted as governor of the Deccan. As governor, he persecuted the Hindu population, treating them differently from Muslims, and interfered in their religious practices, including forbidding the practice of Hindu rituals, such as that performed by temple dancers. He also set his sights on the Deccan Sultanates. The Islamic Decanni sultanates were Ahmadnagar, Berar, Bijapur, Bidar, and Golkonda. In 1636 CE, while governor, Aurangzeb took over Ahmednagar. Later, during his reign, Emperor Aurangzeb expanded further into the Deccan and, in 1686 CE, conquered the Bijapur Sultanate, adding it to...

Ali Gurshasp was the real name of Alauddin Khilji, and he was the eldest son of the brother of Sultan Jalaluddin named Shihabuddin Mas’ud. Jalaluddin took Alauddin under his patronage after the death of Shihabuddin. Alauddin and Almas Beg, who was his brother, married the daughters of Jalaluddin Khilji. Alauddin married Malika-i-Jahan , who was Sultan Jalaluddin’s daughter. This was before the revolution of Khalji even began. As Jalaluddin rose to power and became the Sultan of Delhi Sultanate, Malika-i-Jahan became arrogant and was dominant over Alauddin. Alauddin Khilji married a second woman named Mahru. According to historians, this was one of the main causes of misunderstanding and tensions among Malika-i-Jahan and Alauddin. Alauddin did not get along with his mother in law...
