Option 2 : The Tughlaq dynasty

The correct answer is The Tughlaq dynasty.

  • Tamerlane or Timur marched into India with his army and reached Delhi in the year 1398. 
  • Attacking the Delhi Sultanate ruled by Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq.
  • He started his journey from Samarkand. After crossing the Sindh river, he entered Punjab.
  • He crossed Indus and captured Multan, and just walked over to Delhi without much resistance.
  • Hence Tughlaq dynasty is the answer.

  • Five dynasties ruled over the Delhi Sultanate sequentially:
    • Mamluk dynasty (1206–1290)
    • Khalji dynasty (1290–1320)
    • Tughlaq dynasty (1320–1414)
    • Sayyid dynasty (1414–1451)
    • Lodi dynasty (1451–1526)
