The Rise of MEHRAULI


In 1206, when Ghori was assassinated, Aibak declared himself the ruler of Delhi and the Slave Dynasty was started. This was also the beginning of the Delhi Sultanate. Mehrauli came into being and Qutub-ud-din made Delhi into an architectural wonder.


One of these was the tower of victory, a 72.5-meter tall Qutab Minar.

The Slave Dynasty ruled until 1290. One of the prominent rulers was Razia Sultan, the first woman Emperor of India.
