With the threat of Mongol invasions and expansion and the political instability in Lahore caused future sultans to regard Delhi as a safer capital for medieval Islamic India,[2] even though Delhi was considered a forward base whereas Lahore was widely considered the center of Islamic culture in northeastern Punjab.[2]
Lahore came under progressively weaker central rule under Iltutmish's descendants in Delhi, to the point that governors in the city acted with great autonomy.[3] Under the rule of Kabir Khan Ayaz, Lahore was virtually independent from the Delhi Sultanate.[3] Lahore was sacked and came under the occupation of the Mongol army in 1241.[4] The Mongols defeated the Lahore governor, Malik Ikhtyaruddin Qaraqash, massacred the entire population and the city was leveled to the ground.[5][6]
