Qutubuddin Aibak was the Founder of Slave Dynasty (also Mamluk Dynasty, Ghulam Dynasty) in India. In 1206 Muhammad Ghuri died. Hearing the news of his death Qutubuddin Aibak declared himself king of Hindusthan and got Khutba read in his name. As the important rulers of this dynasty were slaves in some periods of their lives, the dynasty established by Qutubuddin is known as Slave dynasty or Ghulam Dynasty. But Elphinstone, Smith and some other historians preferred to call the dynasty as Mamluk dynasty. The meaning of Mamluk is a slave whose parents are free citizens. After his accession to the throne Aibak had to face some difficulties. • Firstly, Bakhtiyar Khilji declared himself independent ruler of Bengal and Bihar. • Secondly, Tajuddin, ruler of Ghazni, refused to recognize Qutubuddin Aibak as an independent ruler. • Thirdly, Nasiruddin Qabacha of Multan refused to accept Qutubuddin as the ruler of Delhi. • Fourthly, the rulers of Lahore and some other important places refused to recognize him as an independent Sultan and their overlord. In order to solve these difficulties Qutubuddin at first proceeded towards Lahore. The citizens of Lahore recognized him as their ruler. Qutubuddin Aibak defeated Tajuddin and severed all links with Ghazni. This proved a boon for India as it freed the country from being involved in the Central Asian politics. It also enabled the Delhi Sultanate to develop on its own independent lines without depending on countries outside India. He won...

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Early Career of Qutb-Ud-Din Aibak 2. Difficulties of Qutb-Ud-Din Aibak 3. Efforts and Achievements. Muhammad of Ghur had no son and therefore, his nephew, Ghiyas-ud-din succeeded him at Ghur while his empire was virtually divided by his powerful and ambitious governors. Taj-ud-din Yildiz who held the area from Afghanistan to Upper Sindh, Nasir-ud-din Qabacha who held Uch and Multan and Qutb-ud-din Aibak who was the governor of his Indian provinces, became virtually independent in their respective territories.

Of course, Muhammad of Ghur had included the territories of India in his empire but his seat of power was not India. Primarily he remained the Sultan of Ghur.
