Abstract: Mongols had been a constant problem for the Sultans of Delhi. During Alauddin Khalji’s reign, there were in all six major invasions. The Sultan took strong action against them. His brae general, Zafar Khan, who had become a terror for them gave strong resistance to them. While fighting with them at Kili, Zafar Khan lost his life. This brave general displayed great sense of loyalty for the Sultan as well as for his country by rejecting a greater rank offered by the Mongol general in his country.
