Jalal ud din Firuz Khalji (reigned 1290–1296) was the founder of the Khalji dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate. Rising from a military background of Turkic-Afghan origin, he overthrew the declining Mamluk dynasty and became sultan at an advanced age. Unlike many earlier rulers, Jalal ud-Din was known for his relatively mild and forgiving policies, preferring conciliation over brutality. During his reign he faced Mongol threats and internal rebellions but generally maintained stability in northern India. His rule ended dramatically when he was murdered by his ambitious nephew and son-in-law Alauddin Khalji, who then seized the throne and greatly expanded the Delhi Sultanate.
