What is the Delhi Sultanate?
The Delhi Sultanate, or the Sultanate of Delhi, was an Islamic empire based in Delhi that stretched over large parts of the Indian subcontinent during the period of Medieval India, for 320 years (1206β1526)!
Following the invasion of South Asia by the Ghurid dynasty, five unrelated heterogeneous dynasties ruled over the Delhi Sultanate sequentially:
- The Mamluk dynasty (1206β1290)
- The Khalji dynasty (1290β1320)
- The Tughlaq dynasty (1320β1414)
- The Sayyid dynasty (1414β1451)
And
- The Lodi dynasty (1451β1526)

It covered large swaths of territory in modern-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as well as some parts of southern Nepal!
It was conquered and succeeded by the Mughal Empire!
