1. The development of Muslim authority within India grew out of the demise of the Abbasid Caliphate in Persia. Eastward expansion under the Ghaznavids and the subsequent acquisition of territories in Northern India helped provide a stepping-stone for further insurgencies into the prosperous region of the Deccan and southern India. By way of introducing the Shari Law and many other Turkish administrative customs, the Muslim elite were able to consolidate their foothold in the various regions. Hindu regional elites were appeased and then later taxed under the rule of the Tughluqs. Their role in the localities was therefore central to both the development and the demise of Muslim hegemony in this period. The importation of a wealth of materials and technological advances in the form of horses and various ingenious agricultural inventions also serve to transform the social, political and economical environment in the region. However the very fact that the Hindu peoples made up the superior portion of the population was systematic in preventing the extension of Muslim rule throughout.

Bringing with them a variety of new trades, (horses, slaves) the Ghurids, notably Ala Udin and Mahmud of Ghori, were able to supplant the local Rajput princes.

Although Mahmud was not instrumental in bringing about the growth of Delhi, his slave and lieutenant Aibak, quickly asserted himself as the ruling authority. Using a system of superior techniques and the extensive materials at his disposal Aibak was able to consolidate his position. Aibak himself quickly set up an independent state(of Ghazni) based in Lahore. His central authority was dependent on the allegiance of the military followers or Mamluks. IN fact, the very fact that he was of the slave category reveals an important element in this, the development of a Hindu Islamic state. After all, the salve system provided ample opportunities for enigmatic figures such as Aibak at the expense of the Muslim elite. In the same way the Hindu regional leaders were able to benefit from the more democratic leadership of Firaz in the 14th century which was instrumental in causing the demise of the Sultanate. The subsequent leadership of Firaz saw an even greater shift towards accepting divergent customs and cultures. A no
