The establishment of the Delhi Sultanate is associated with which ruler?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Qutb-ud-din Aibak
Qutb-ud-din Aibak established the first ruling house usually counted as the Delhi Sultanate, the Mamluk or Slave dynasty, after the decline of Muhammad Ghori’s authority in North India. Iltutmish later consolidated the sultanate, so he is also important, but the question asks about its initial establishment. Akbar, Sher Shah and Shivaji belong to different political contexts.
