Answers
Answer: False
Explanation:
Alauddin Khalji, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate built the Siri Fort in order to safeguard Delhi and India from the attack of the Mongols. This was the first Muslim city in Delhi. The word "Siri" meant "Sir" or head in Hindi which was used as a homage to all the severed heads of the Mongol invaders.
It was the second of the seven cities built around 1303 during the medieval Delhi.
The city lies in the north of Qutab, whose construction started in 1303 A.D. The most striking feature of this city was the Palace of Thousand pillars. The main purpose of building this city was to protect the over crowded population of the suburbs.
In 1548 Sher Shah destroyed the city, which now stands in complete ruins.
