Malwa became independent of the Dehli
sultanate following Timur’s invasion at the end of ad
1398. The governor of the province at that time was Dilavar Khan Ghuri.
Dilavar Khan never assumed the royal title nor struck coins in his own
name but was independent in all but name. His son, Alp Khan, impatient to
take over the reigns of power, had his father poisoned and, in ad 1405 (ah
808), ascended the throne under the title Husam al-Din Hushang Shah. |
