History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c7.10

c7.10

Having suppressed the so-called refractory element, ‘Alāuddīn began to think of subjugating the independent parts of the country. After the expedition to Multan he had not been able to send out any major expedition. In 1299 his armies were free to embark on a career of conquest. The fair and opulent kingdom of Gujarāt attracted his immediate attention.
