The real foundation of the Delhi Sultanate was laid by
A
Babur
B
Ghori
C
Qutb-ud-din Aibak
D
Akbar
Correct Option:
C
Explanation
Muhammad Ghori's victories opened the way for Turkish rule in northern India, but Qutb-ud-din Aibak established independent rule after Ghori's death in 1206 and laid the effective foundation of the Delhi Sultanate's first ruling line, the Mamluk or Slave dynasty. That is the sense in which the question uses "real foundation."
