Note:&nbsp;After the Mongol conflict at Kara in AD 1292, political authority within the Delhi Sultanate began to shift from Sultan Firuz Khilji to his ambitious nephew, Ala ud din Khilji. Ala Ud Din sought Firuz’s permission to raid Chanderi but instead struck deep into the Deccan, plundering Devagiri, the wealthy capital of the Yadavas. Laden with immense spoils, he returned north in AD 1296, apologizing for the unauthorized venture and promising Firuz a large share of the booty. To secure his pardon, Ala ud din lured the Sultan to Kara-where he murdered him and proclaimed himself Sultan Ala ud Din Muhammad.<o:p></o:p>In the aftermath, Firuz’s widow proclaimed her younger son&nbsp;Qadr Khan&nbsp;as Sultan&nbsp;Rukn al-Din Ibrahim, even though the elder son, Arkali Khan, was based at Multan.
