Question

In 1320 CE, Ghazi Malik defeated _________ to take over Khilji dynasty and founded the __________.

• A. Khusrau Khan, Tughlaq dynasty
• B. Mubarak, Tughlaq dynasty
• C. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, Tughlaq dynasty
• D. Mubarak, Ghazavaad dynasty

Answer 1

The correct option is A Khusrau Khan, Tughlaq dynasty

After Alauddin Khilji’s death from illness in 1316 CE, his kingdom fell prey to conspiracy. Malik Kafur chose Khilji’s six-year-old son as a puppet ruler. But Khilji’s eldest son Mubarak killed Kafur shortly after and took over the throne. Before long, Mubarak was murdered by a slave general named Khusrau Khan. Khusrau Khan ruled for a brief time before being defeated. In 1320 CE, the reigns were taken over by a governor named Ghazi Malik. Ghazi Malik changed his name to Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, giving rise to the Tughlaq dynasty.
