Kafur, Malik Originally a Hindu, he was captured and converted to Islam
by Alauddin
Khalji during his Gujarat campaign (1297). He proved himself
to be a
capable general and most trusted official of the Sultan, conquering the
kingdoms of
Devagiri, Warangal, Dwarasamudra, Malabar and Madurai for
his master.
After Alauddin’s death, however, he set up one of the late
Sultan’s
minor sons on the throne with all powers concentrated in his own
hands.
Ultimately all his opponents combined together and murdered him.
