View show details

In 1290, the Mamluk (Slave) dynasty that had ruled Delhi for nearly a century came to a violent end. Jalaluddin Khalji, an aging Afghan noble, seized power in a palace coup that shocked the capital. This episode tells the story of that revolution: the assassination of the boy-sultan Muizuddin Qaiqabad, the rise of Jalaluddin, his brief and merciful reign, and the dark turn when his ambitious nephew Alauddin murdered him in a dramatic ambush. We explore the political intrigues, the role of the Turkish nobility, and how the Khaljis transformed the Sultanate from a slave oligarchy to an absolutist monarchy. Drawing on accounts from Ziauddin Barani and Amir Khusrau, we examine the personalities behind the coup and how a single act of betrayal reshaped medieval India. #KhaljiCoup #JalaluddinKhalji #AlauddinKhalji #MamlukDynasty #MuizuddinQaiqabad #DelhiSultanate #SlaveDynasty #ZiauddinBarani #AmirKhusrau #MedievalIndia #PalaceCoup #1290 #History #FexingoHistory #SouthAsianHistory #TurkishNobility #Kara #Invasion Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
