The Tomara Rajput dynasty founded the city of Lal
Kot in 736 A.D. near the Qutub Minar. The epic Prithvirajaraso
names the Rajput Anangpal as the founder of Delhi.
The Chauhan Rajput kings of Ajmer conquered Lal Kot
in 1180 A.D. and renamed it Qila Rai Pithora. The
Chauhan king Prithviraj III was defeated in 1192 by
the Afghan Muhammad Ghori. From 1206, Delhi became
the capital of the Delhi Sultanate under the Slave
Dynasty.
The first Sultan of Delhi, Qutb-ud-din Aybak was a
former slave who rose through the ranks to become
a general, a governor and then Sultan of Delhi. Qutb-ud-din
started the construction the Qutub Minar to commemorate
his victory but died before its completion. In the
Qutb complex he also constructed the Quwwat-al-Islam
(might of Islam), which is the earliest extant mosque
in India. After the end of the Slave dynasty, a succession
of Turkic and Central Asian dynasties, the Khilji
dynasty, the Tughluq dynasty, the Sayyid dynasty and
the Lodhi dynasty held power in the late medieval
period and built a sequence of forts and townships
that are part of the seven cities of Delhi.
In 1526, following the First Battle of Panipat, Zahiruddin
Babur, the former ruler of Fergana, defeated the last
Lodhi sultan and founded the Mughal dynasty which
ruled from Delhi, Agra and Lahore.
