Delhi Sultanate Dynasties and Structure

The Delhi Sultanate was a series of Muslim dynasties that ruled much of the Indian subcontinent from Delhi between 1206 and 1526. The five dynasties were the Mamluk (Slave), Khalji, Tughlaq, Sayyid and Lodi dynasties. A mind map works well for this period because each dynasty has its own rulers, policies and conflicts that link back to one central capital.

  • Mamluk dynasty: founded by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, with Iltutmish as a key consolidator
  • Khalji dynasty: Alauddin Khalji's market controls and campaigns in the south
  • Tughlaq dynasty: Muhammad bin Tughlaq's capital shift and token currency
  • Sayyid and Lodi dynasties: weaker rule ending with Ibrahim Lodi's defeat in 1526
  • Administration: iqta land system, military governance and provincial control

Use the map to revise dynasties in order, then compare rulers within each branch. Create a personalized version with CogniGuide from your own textbook notes.
