Delhi Sultanate

1206–1526 empire in the Indian subcontinent

The Delhi Sultanate (دلی سلطنت), or Sultanate-e-Hind (سلطنتِ ہند or Empire of India) or Sultanate-e-Dilli (سلطنتِ دلی or Empire of Delhi) were the Sunni Islamic Persian/Hindavi-speaking dynasties of Turkic, Indian and Pashtun origin, which were controlling most of the Indian subcontinent from 1210 to 1526. Most of these dynasties ruled from Delhi. This includes the Slave dynasty (1206-90), the Khilji dynasty (1290-1320), the Tughlaq dynasty (1320-1413), the Sayyid dynasty (1414-51), and the Lodi dynasty (1451-1526). Later on, after the Pashtun Lodi dynasty was destroyed at Panipat in 1526, the region fell to the Mughals, there was again a brief period when Humayun, son of the Mughal Babur and father of Akbar the Great, was deposed by the Pashtun Suri dynasty under Sher Shah Suri who enjoyed a short rule then, before Humayun was reinstated in 1555.
