Ghiyas-ud-din Tughluq

Tughluq Dynasty (1320-1414 AD)

Ghiyasuddin Tughluq (1320-1325 AD)

His real name was Ghazi Malik. He died in February 1325. He was the founder and first ruler of the Turkic Muslim Tughluq dynasty in India, who reigned over Sultanate of Delhi (1920 -1325). In the aftermath of Ala-ud-din Khilji's death, there was utter chaos in the kingdom. The nobles of the state had put Khusro Khan on the throne. The latter began to bestow undue favours on mischievous people and to waste public money. Seeing this state of things, Ghazi Malik's son Fakhr Malik left Multan secretly and joined his father, informing him of what was happening at Delhi. Then, father and son, being both brave soldiers, collected the forces of Sindh and Multan and hastened to Delhi to help the Muslims against the Hindus. Arriving near Delhi with 3,000 veteran soldiers, they engaged in battle with the army of Khusro Khan, and defeated them. Then making their way into Delhi, they again defeated Khusro Khan in battle and he fled away. About midnight the ministers and the headmen of the place came to Ghazi Malak and his son in their camp and gave up the keys of the fort.
