Who was the first Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate to start military expeditions into southern India?
Alauddin Khalji
The correct answer is Alauddin Khalji.
The main objectives were to: Acquire wealth from the rich kingdoms of the south. Force southern rulers to accept the suzerainty of the Delhi Sultanate. Malik Kafur led multiple successful campaigns between roughly 1308 and 1311, targeting Devagiri, Warangal, Dwarasamudra, and Madurai. These expeditions brought immense wealth back to Delhi and established the Sultanate's dominance over a vast region, though direct control in the far south was temporary.
