Overview
In 625/1228 Sultan Shams al-Din Iltutmish of Delhi defeated Nasir al-Din Qabacha, and Multan became an integral part of the Delhi Sultanate 1.
The end of Qabacha's state
Qabacha had ruled an independent state in the region since his master's assassination, but he came out of his 621 encounter with Jalal al-Din Khwarazm-Shah weakened; Iltutmish then defeated him outright 1.
What annexation meant
Multan's entry into the Delhi Sultanate closed the contest between the Ghurid mamluks over Sind and the Panjab; the city became a province of Delhi, its governors rotating as raids and rebellions swept its marches 1.
