  1. In A.D. 1210 Qutub-ud-din Aybak died. The Chihalgani decided on Aram Shah as the new Sultan. He however turned out to be an incapable ruler and was soon replaced within the time span of one year with Shams-ud-din. Shams-ud-din was given the title "Altmush or Iltmash" when he was throned. Altmush (altmış pronounced ahlt-MUSH) in the Turkish language translates into 60, which was the age of Shams-ud-din at the time he was made king. On his accession, Iltutmish was faced with an embarrassing situation. Narsir-ud-din Qabacha had asserted his independence in Sind and seemed desirous of extending his authority over the Punjab. Ali Mardan, a Khalji noble, who had been appointed Governor of Bengal by Qutub-ud-din in 1206, had thrown off his allegiance to Delhi after his death and styled himself Sultan Ala-ud-din. Further, the Hindu princes and chiefs were seething with discontent at their loss of independence; Gwalior and Ranthambore had been recovered by their rulers during the weak rule of Aram Shah. To add to Iltutmish's troubles, some of the Amirs of Delhi expressed resentment against his rule[2] .

    The new Sultan faced the situation boldly. He first effectively suppressed a rebellion of the Amirs in the plain of Jud near Delhi, and then brought under his control the different parts of the kingdom of Delhi with its dependencies like Badaun, Benares and Siwalik. The ambitious designs of his rivals were also frustrated. Qabacha, who had meanwhile advanced to Lahore, was expelled from that city by Iltutmish in 1217. He was completely subdued in 1228 and was accidentally drowned in the Indus. Sindh was annexed to the Delhi Sultanate. The Khalji Maliks of Bengal were reduced to complete submission in the winter of circa 1231 and Ala-ud-din Jani was appointed Governor of Lakhnauti[2].
