KHILJI DYNASTY:(1290 - 1320 AD)
    
    With the accession of Jalaluddin Firoze Shah, the rule of a new dynasty the
    Khiljis was established in Delhi. The New Emperor of Delhi, Alauddin Khilji,
    murdered his uncle Jalaluddin Firoze to gain the throne. It was his ambition
    to establish a vast empire.He introduced more controversial policies. All 
    religious lands were confiscated and marriages between noble families were
    sanctioned by the King. The Emperor also introduced market and price control 
    for foodgrains, cloth and other essentials.The land revenue was raised and 
    made more efficient. Thus the Emperor enforced a highly centralised system 
    of government. He extended the boundaries of the Delhi Sultanate and brought
    almost the whole of India under his sway. He conquered Gujarat, Ranthambhor,
    Chitor, Warangal, the Hosala and Pandaya kingdoms. He also took effective
    measures to keep the Mongols out of his Indian empire, and so followed the 
    policy of strengthening the defense force. He died in 1316 AD. After his death,
    Malik Kafur tried to establish control but was murdered and then two others 
    from the Khalji dynasty came to the throne until 1320.
