History

Agreement with his son

When Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban died in 1287, the noblemen of Delhi appointed his grandson and Bughra Khan's son, Qaiqabad, as the Sultan of Delhi. But inefficient ruling of Qaiqabad spread anarchy in Delhi. Qaiqabad became a mere puppet in the hand of his wazir, Nijamuddin. Bughra Khan decided to bring an end to the anarchy in Delhi and advanced with a huge army towards Delhi. At the same time, Nijamuddin forced Qaiqabad to advance with a massive army to confront his father. The two armies met in the banks of Saryu river. But the father and the son reached an understanding instead of facing a bloody battle. Qaiqabad acknowledged Bughra Khan's independence from Delhi and also removed Najimuddin as his wazir. Bughra Khan returned to Lakhnauti.

The death of Qaiqabad in 1289 shocked Bughra Khan. He left the power of Bengal for his other son, Rukunuddin Kaikaus in 1291.[1]
