The Slave Dynasty is also referred to as the Mamluk Dynasty because its rulers were primarily of slave origin, known as "mamluks," which means "owned" in Arabic. These were typically Turks or Central Asians who were enslaved and later rose to power in the Indian subcontinent. The dynasty was established by Qutb al-Din Aibak in the 13th century and is notable for its military prowess and the establishment of significant architectural landmarks in Delhi. The term "Mamluk" highlights the unique background of its rulers, who transitioned from being slaves to sovereigns.
The Mamluk dynasty, which ruled Egypt and the Levant from the 13th to the 16th centuries, came to an end largely due to the rise of the Ottoman Empire. In 1517, the Ottomans, led by Sultan Selim I, defeated the Mamluks at the Battle of Ridaniya and subsequently captured Cairo. This defeat marked the end of Mamluk political power, as the Ottomans integrated Egypt into their empire, effectively terminating the Mamluk sultanate and its ruling class. The Mamluks continued to exist as a social and military class under Ottoman rule, but their political authority was permanently diminished.
Qutb al-Din Aibak, the founder of the Mamluk dynasty in India, saved his infant Turkish empire by consolidating power and establishing a strong administrative framework. He effectively defended his territory against external threats, particularly from rival kingdoms and the Mongol invasions. Aibak also fostered loyalty among his military commanders and local elites, ensuring stability and support for his rule. His strategic governance and military prowess laid the foundation for the eventual expansion of the Mamluk Sultanate.
Emperor Yu, also known as Yu the Great, is credited with founding the Xia Dynasty, traditionally considered China's first dynasty. Key inventions that aided him included advanced irrigation systems to control flooding and manage water resources, which were crucial for agriculture. Additionally, the development of tools for agriculture and construction, such as plows and wooden frames, enabled more efficient farming and infrastructure building, facilitating the establishment of stable communities. These innovations helped Yu unify tribes and establish a lasting dynasty.

The foundation of the Khilji dynasty was established by Jalal ud-Din Khilji in 1290. He ascended to the throne after overthrowing the last ruler of the Mamluk dynasty, marking the beginning of Khilji rule in Delhi. The dynasty is noted for its military conquests and significant administrative reforms, particularly under Jalal ud-Din's successor, Alauddin Khilji.

There are a number of states that rose to prominence in the 1200s, the most important were the Mongol Empire, the Almohad Caliphate, and the Mamluk Sultanate. While there were several other empires that were powerful at the beginning of the 1200s, like Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Sultanate of Khwarezm, these empires were smashed by the Mongol Empire by the end of the century.
