Jalal-ud-din Firuz Khilji (), first Indian ruler from the Khilji Dynasty from 1290 - 1296 . He was regarded as a foreign intruder and a barbarian, he did not show himself in his own capital of Delhi . He built another capital at Kilokhri a few miles from the city and ruled from there for six years. In 1292 , a horde of more than 100,000 Mongols invaded the country. Successes in battle and smart negotiation caused a partial retreat on the part of the Mongols. They rose again five years later when his nephew and son-in-law Ala Ud Din Khilji was on the throne. Ala-ud-din was also responsible for a successful raid in to Deccan as Governor of Kara under his uncle, the king, Jalal-ud-din. While Ala-ud-din was returning from there with the spoils of victory, Jalal-ud-din hurried to Kara to meet him. He was murdered by his nephew when he arrived.
