Khilji dynasty

Khilji dynasty

Khilji or Khalji (Pashto: خلجی خاندان, Hindi: ख़िलजी ख़ानदान) was an Indian ruling dynasty that was made-up of ethnic Afghans of Turkish origin.Encyclopedia Britannica, [http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9045252/Khalji-Dynasty Khalji Dynasty] ..."This dynasty, like the previous Slave dynasty, was of Turkish origin, though the Khalji tribe had long been settled in Afghanistan...The first Khalji sultan, Jalal-ud-Din Firuz Khalji...his tribe was thought to be Afghan."] They were the second Muslim dynasty to rule the Delhi Sultanate of India. The term Khilji was their self-designation, (see also Ibn Batuta's and Ibn Chaldun's excessive quantity) meaning "swordsman." [Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North West Frontier Province By H.A. Rose, pg. 241]

Ikhtiar Uddin Muhammad bin Bakhtiar Khilji, one of the generals of Qutb-ud-din Aybak, conquered Bihar and Bengal regions of India in the late 12th century, and the Khiljis were feudatories of the Mamluk dynasty of Delhi. Jalal ud din Firuz Khilji took control of the Delhi Sultanate in 1290, and three Khilji sultans ruled the empire from 1290 to 1320. His nephew and son-in-law Ala ud din Khilji is considered to be the greatest among the Khiljis, due to successfully repelling several invasions from the Mongols.
