		Ghiyas-ud-din Balban was undoubtedly the greatest Sultan of the Slave dynasty.
		Balban eventually came to terms with the fact that his authority was unquestioned upto Lahore but beyond that the ungovernable hills were the territory of the freewheeling Mongols.
		Balban’s ideas on kingship were along the same lines as the divine right to rule theory of the west and he took on the title of Zil-i-Illahi, or the shadow of God on earth.

	Delhi Guide
		Balban, whose full name was Ulagh Khan Balban, was a slave of Sultan Nasiruddin, the ruler of Delhi and son of Iltutmish.
		Balban, though a slave was lucky to ascend the throne after his master, Nasruddin because Nasruddin was believed to be fanatically religious and cared little for the affairs of the state and administration.
		Perhaps, Balban was not inspired by architectural splendour and would have preferred to spend his time on dealing with administrative matters and at the same time ensuring a better life for the people over whom he ruled.
