The Delhi Sultanate, established in the early 13th century, made Delhi its capital due to its strategic location, which facilitated trade and military movements. The city's existing infrastructure and its status as a political and cultural hub further enhanced its appeal. Muslim rulers, particularly Sultan Iltutmish and Alauddin Khilji, expanded and fortified the city, transforming it into a vibrant center of power and administration. This solidified Delhi's position as the capital, a role it continued to play in subsequent empires, including the Mughal dynasty.
