With the threat of Mongol invasions and expansion and the political instability in Lahore caused future sultans to regard Delhi as a safer capital for medieval Islamic India,^[2] even though Delhi was considered a forward base whereas Lahore was widely considered the center of Islamic culture in northeastern Punjab.^[2]

Lahore came under progressively weaker central rule under Iltutmish's descendants in Delhi, to the point that governors in the city acted with great autonomy.^[3] Under the rule of Kabir Khan Ayaz, Lahore was virtually independent from the Delhi Sultanate.^[3] Lahore was sacked and came under the occupation of the Mongol army in 1241.^[4] The Mongols defeated the Lahore governor, Malik Ikhtyaruddin Qaraqash, massacred the entire population and the city was leveled to the ground.^[5]^[6]
