Who founded the Mamluk (Slave) Dynasty, the first ruling dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate ?
Qutb-ud-Din Aibak
After the death of Muhammad Ghori in 1206, his Indian conquests passed to his slave generals. The Mamluk or Slave dynasty that began then was the first of the five dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate.
Qutb-ud-Din Aibak, Ghori's trusted slave and commander, assumed power in 1206 and founded this dynasty; he also began the Qutb Minar.
Taj-ud-Din Yildiz held Ghazni and Nasir-ud-Din Qabacha held Multan and Sindh — both were rival slave commanders, not founders. Shams-ud-Din Iltutmish was Aibak's son-in-law and successor who consolidated the Sultanate.
Qutb-ud-Din Aibak option is correct.
