Question

It’s not Venice, but this polity was administered by a council of slaves called the Corps of Forty until it was destroyed by Balban. The Fatāwā-ye Jahāndārī, written in this polity by Ziyā ud-Dīn Baranī, advocated for its citizens to be sorted into the āshrāf and ajlāf classes. In this polity, Khizr Khān rose in status by falsely claiming to be descended from Muḥammad, establishing a dynasty of such sayyids. A rumored romance with an Abyssinian slave led to the overthrow of this polity’s queen Raziā Sultāna. (10[1])The Qutb Mīnār commemorates (10[1])an eponymous slave soldier who established this polity and its Mamlūk Dynasty. This polity’s last dynasty, the Lodīs, was conquered by Bābur and the Mughals.
