Candid discussion with @Meeta Joshi, HoD History, St.Ann Collage, #Hyderabad, #India
Ghiyas-ud-din Balban was captured by #Mongols in his childhood and was brought to #India. #Iltutmish had bought him in 1232. At first, #Sultan refused to buy him because of his shortness and ugliness, but Balban begged him to buy him and he was bought and placed among the Bhistis (water bearers).
Balban was fit for other better jobs. In due course of time he was enrolled in the #CorpofForty, served #Raziya has her chief #huntsman, retained his post under #Baharam. When Baharam was removed, Balban was a rebel, later getting the governorship of #Hansi.
