| Additional information |
Nasir-ud-Din Qabacha was a slave-general under Muhammad of Ghor who seized control of Sindh and the Punjab following his master's assassination in 1206, ruling as an effectively independent sultan while nominally acknowledging Delhi's suzerainty. His hold on the region collapsed rapidly after Iltutmish turned against him in the 1220s — cornered and defeated, Qabacha drowned in the Indus in 1228, reputedly while attempting to flee by boat. These jitals were the working currency of a frontier domain caught between competing successor states to the Ghurid empire.
