Khilji

The Khilji dynasty was a Muslim ruling family that governed parts of India in the 13th and 14th centuries, primarily known for founding the Delhi Sultanate. They rose to power after the decline of the Ghurid dynasty and are recognized for expanding their territory through military conquests. The most significant ruler of this dynasty was Alauddin Khilji, renowned for his administrative reforms, market regulation, and attempts to strengthen the economy. Their reign marked a period of cultural and architectural development, though they faced challenges from both internal dissent and external invasions. The dynasty eventually fell to the Tughlaqs in the early 14th century.
