v2.c27.s1.2

THE Ghûrî dynasty of Mandû attained independence about the same time as the Sharqîs of Jaunpur,—Sultân Dilâwar, who governed the province of Mâlwâ from A.D 1387, having assumed the title of Shâh in A.D. 1401. It is, however, to his successor Hûshang, that Mandû owes its greatness and all the finest of its buildings. The state continued to prosper as one of the independent Moslim principalities till A.D. 1530, when it was incorporated with Gujarât, and was finally annexed to Akbar's dominion in A.D. 1569.
