Qutb-ud-din Aibak was the first Muslim Emperor of the indo-Pak Sub Continent and was the founder of the Slave Dynesty. Originally a Turk slave, Qutb-ud-din was brought to Ghazni, and was bought by Shahabuddin Ghauri. Later, he rose to the heights of Commander-in-Chief of the forces of Shahabuddin Ghauri. On the death of Shahabuddin Ghauri, Qutbuddin Aibak was crowned in Lahore in 1206 AD. Qutb-ud-din had a palace at Lahore, and the area now known as ‘Anarkali’ was in those days known as ‘Mohallah Kuttab Ghauri’. He died in 1210 AD while playing the game of Polo (called Chaugan at that time), and a fine mausoleum of the king was constructed by Shamsuddin Altumash.
