After
his death at Lahore in early November in 1210, Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the founder
of the Slave (Mamluk) dynasty, was succeeded by Aram Bakhsh who ascended the throne of
Delhi Sultanate under the title of Sultan Aram Shah. The exact nature of
relationship of Aram Bakhsh with Qutb-ud-din is not known. According to one
school of thought, he was his son. However, contemporary historian Minhaj –us-Siraj makes no mention
of Qutb-ud-din’s son and says that he had only three daughters. According to
Abul Fazal, court historian of Mughal Emperor Akbar, Aram Shah was Qutb-ud-din’s brother.
Sultan
Aram Shah proved to be an inexperienced and incapable ruler. The nobles and
amirs invited Qutb-ud-din Aibak’s son-in-law Iltutmish, then governor of
Badaun, who defeated Aram Shah in the plains of Jud near Delhi. Thus ended the eight
month rule of Aram Shah who was not heard of afterwards.
