Full comprehensive story of ILTUTMISH history and difficulties....
You can read it thoroughly.....
Iltutmish was not the son but the son-in-law of Qutb-ud-din. His family was Shamsi and, therefore, he established the rule of a new Turkish dynasty at Delhi. Certain scholars, therefore, have expressed the view that Iltutmish thus had no legal claim over the throne of Delhi and, therefore, was an usurper. But this opinion has no valid justification.
By that time, the Turks had not accepted the hereditary principle of succession and, therefore, every powerful noble or governor could contend for the throne. Iltutmish did the same. While Aram Shah was supported by the nobles at Lahore, Iltutmish was supported by the nobles at Delhi and he won in the contest.
Besides, the infant Turkish kingdom of Delhi required the services of a competent ruler which Iltutmish certainly proved to be. Therefore, Iltutmish had every legitimate reason and claim over the throne of Delhi and cannot be accepted as an usurper.
Iltutmish ascended an insecure throne. When he ascended the throne he was master of only Delhi, Badaun and the outlying districts extending from Banaras in the east to the Shivalik hills in the west. He certainly defeated Aram Shah but when the Turkish nobles assembled in Delhi, some of them opposed his claim to the throne and decided to revolt.
