Answer:
The answer is Shams-ud-din Iltumish
Explanation:
Shams-ud-din Iltumish, the slave dynasty's third ruler, founded Turkan-i-Chahalgani or Chalisa ( A group of 40 powerful nobles).
- After succeeding on the throne, he formed this group because he knew that Turkish aristocrats were untrustworthy and could plot against him to overturn his power.
- As a result, he had a group of loyal slaves to guard him. The Turkish nobility's chosen body was known as Chalisa.
- These were Turkish amirs (nobles) who advised and assisted the Sultan with the administration of the Delhi Sultanate. They often accompanied the ruler to the battleground during times of war.
- Later, this group played a key role in opposing Sultana Razia's bid for the throne.
Gayasuddin Balban, a member of Chalisa, was the one who demolished it.
