Muizz-ud-din Muhammad bin Sam, commonly known as Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Ghuri is one of the key persons who played a significant role in the establishment of Muslim rule in North India.
After his defeat in the first battle of Tarain in 1191 at the hands of Prithvi Raj Chauhan, ruler of Delhi and Ajmer, he spent a complete year preparing for war. He came back in 1192 and defeated Raj Chauhan in the second battle of Tarain. He was the first Muslim ruler to conquer Delhi and establish a Muslim rule in India
Ghuri never considered himself anything but a general in his brother's army. After every victory he would send the best of the looted items to his elder brother. Muhammad Ghuri had no heirs and thus he treated his slaves as his sons. It is said that he trained thousands of Turkish slaves in the art of warfare and administration. Most of his slaves were given excellent education. During his reign many hardworking and intelligent slaves rose to positions of excellence. Once a courtier regretted that Sultan has no male heirs. Ghuri immediately replied, "Other monarchs may have one son, or two sons; I have thousands of sons. Namely my Turkish slaves who will be the heirs of my dominions, and who, after me, will take care to preserve my name in the Khutbah throughout these territories". Ghuri's prediction proved true when he was succeeded by a dynasty of Turkish Slaves.

Hi,
Please correct the information , Prithviraj Chohan defeated Mohammad ghauri 16,times and everytime he came back for another defeat. It is the moinuddin chisti who told Ghauri to attack Prithviraj Chouhan at night and take him by surprise thus defeating him . Hindu kings did not fight after the sunset in those days.. Also the red fort was built by anangpal the uncle of Prithviraj Chouhan.
Please have some pride in your culture and religion and dont be afraid to put the truth if you know it. Rajputana has left glorious history behindo and the past needs to be narrated in the right manner.
Also this Mohammad ghauri was a paedophile and liked homosex. Its a fact and that's why he did not marr
My humble request is to state The fact rights .it's the indian pride at stake.
Jai shri Ram!!!
