    Review: Two books by medieval historian Iqtidar Alam Khan

    Ghazi Malik, the founder of the Tughlaq dynasty, was keen for his nephew to marry the daughter of a powerful Hindu Bhatti chief but his initial proposal was met with sneers. He then goaded the local tax collectors to harass the clansmen and eventually they succumbed. The marriage produced Firoze Shah Tughlaq, who had the longest reign among the Delhi Sultans, and whose fort Kotla still remains a thriving station, for its stadium as well as for the benevolent ghosts who inhabit the Ashokan pillars which he placed there!
