Alauddin Khalji spent several years consolidating his power after becoming the Sultan of Delhi in the year 1296. After having strengthened his control over the Indo-Gangetic plains, he planned to attack Gujarat.

Explanation:

  • In the year 1299, Alauddin Khalji, the rulers of Delhi's sultanate, sent an army to invade Indian Gujarat that was governed by king Karna of Vaghela. Several major cities in Gujarat were plundered by Delhi armies, including Anahilavada, Surat, Somnath, & Kammhat.
  • During the later years, Karna could reclaim power of at least a portion of his kingdom. Nevertheless, the Vaghela dynasty ended forever in 1304 with a second attack by the forces of Alauddin which led to the annexation of Gujarat to the Delhi Sultanate.
  • The plunder of the wealthy port of Cambay brought a large booty into the Khilji's coffer. Alauddin Khilji  had maintained a strong & huge standing army to defend his empire. With the conquest of Gujarat, several sea ports came under the control of Alauddin Khalji. Via these ports, he imported fine horses (since India had lacked fine horses) from Persia, Arab, Central Asia, & Iraq. It strengthened his military strength and he had captured the southern and western parts of India.
