The Khalji Dynasty, which reigned from 1290 to 1320 CE, was a Muslim dynasty that held control over a crucial stretch of the Indian subcontinent. Its establishment was led by Jalal-ud-din Khalji, who successfully overthrew the preceding Mamluk Dynasty. Regarded as a transitional phase between the Mamluk and Tughlaq Dynasties, the Khalji Dynasty brought forth notable transformations in India's political, economic, and social landscapes during its relatively short rule.
