Answer:
The slave or the Mamluk Dynasty was replaced by Khilji Dynasty as the ruling dynasty of India. The founder of Khilji Dynasty was Jalal ud din Firuz Khilji. He killed the last descendent of Slave Dynasty and declared himself the sultan of Delhi sultanate at the age of 70 years in 1290 AD. The Khilji clan traced their origin to Afghan village of Khalji. Jalal-ud-din Firuz Khilji’s original name was Malik Firuz. He was not cruel by nature. When Balban’s nephew Malik Chhajju imposed a war on Jalal-ud-din Firuz Khilji, the former was defeated and captured alive but was forgiven by the Sultan of Delhi.
