It would be great if you could answer;

1) which city was his capital? lahore or delhi?

2) when did his coronation ceremony take place and where? and when did he receive his manumission letter?

3)Did he face any resistance in becoming India's sovereign, after the death of ghuri?

4) did he marry Yalduz's daughter or yalduz's sister? K.ali says it was sister whereas all other sources say daughter.


5) what was the name of mosque built by qutbuddin in delhi near qutb minar?


6) was qutbuddin aibak, the real founder of slave dynasty? In spite of the fact that: 1) some of the later sultans dont accept him as the sultan( list of sultans of Delhi prepared under firoz shah tughluq begins with Iltutmush.)
2) Ibn batuta doesnt include AIBAK'S name in the list of muslims sovereigns either.
3)Not a single coin of AIBAK era, gold or sillver, has been found...
so is he rightly considered the founder of slave dynasty ???


kindly enlighten
