Who was the first Muslim Governor of Delhi? Answer: Qutbuddin Aibak

The first Muslim ruler to establish his capital at Delhi, effectively becoming its first Muslim governor and Sultan, was Qutb-ud-din Aibak, a general for Muhammad Ghori, who founded the Delhi Sultanate (Mamluk Dynasty) in 1206. He ruled from Delhi, initiating significant constructions like the Qutb Minar before his death in 1210, making him the foundational figure of Muslim rule in the region.
