Ram Chandra felt very grateful to ‘Alāūddīn for his considerate behaviour and thenceforward he was ever subservient to the Delhi Sultan, never disobeyed his orders and until he died he sent tributes to the capital regularly.³³ The treatment accorded to Ram Deva was not without ulterior motives. On the contrary this was a great diplomatic move of ‘Alāūddīn. He had now an unflinching ally in the south who would surely help the Sultan in his further plans. As would be seen later Ram Chandra gave invaluable help to Malik Kāfūr during his march further south.
