Explanation:
1. Organisation of the Group of Forty Slaves, viz. Turkan-i-Chihalgani:
When Iltutmish ascended the throne, he was opposed by certain Qutbi (nobles of Qutb-ud-din Aibak) and Muizzi (nobles of Muhammad of Ghur) nobles. He suppressed their revolt. But, he always remained doubtful of their loyalty. Therefore, he created his own group of nobles from among his loyal and capable slaves which was called Turkan-i-Chihalgani.
All those nobles were purchased by him as slaves. They were given respectable assignments and, thus, their cooperation was sought in administration
2.Iltutmish behaved most diplomatically with Yildiz. When he ascended the throne, Yildiz sent him a chatra (canopy) and a durbash (baton). Iltutmish accepted them and, thus, pretended to recognize his suzerainty. In fact, he bided his time, avoided conflict with him and consolidated his position as far as Banaras.
Besides, he occupied Sursuti, Kuhram and Bhatinda in the west. In 1215 A.D., Yildiz was driven out of Ghazni by Khwarizm Shah. He came to Lahore and occupied the territories of Punjab upto Thaneswar. While Yildiz still claimed overlordship over Iltutmish and asked him to send military help, Iltutmish marched against him to settle his score finally with him.
3.Jalal-ud-din married the daughter of Rai Khokhar Sankin, the Khokhar chief and occupied the upper Sindh Sagar, the territory of the Ravi and the Chenab regions, the fort of Pasraur in the Sialkot district and then advanced up to Lahore.
The Mongols were hotly pursuing the fleeing prince but stopped at the banks of the river Indus to watch his activities. Jalal-ud-din asked for shelter from Iltutmish. So far the career of Cenghiz Khan had been of undisrupted success. No country could save itself from his attack. Iltutmish had neither the desire nor the power to face such a powerful foe.
