Who among the following was the first Sayyid ruler of Delhi ?
Mubarak Shah
Alam Shah
Muhammad Shah
Khizr Khan
Answer: Khizr Khan
Explanation:
Khizr Khan was the first Sayyid ruler of Delhi. He and his three
successors occupied themselves in raids to collect revenue, barely maintaining themselves against the Sharq? sultans to the east and the Khokars to the northwest.
Khizr Khan, who founded the Sayyid Dynasty and took over as the first ruler in 1414, originally did not take the title of sultan and continued to be Rayat-i-Ala or Vassal of Timurdis.
