Explanation:

Qutubuddin Aibak was the Founder of Slave Dynasty (also Mamluk Dynasty, Ghulam Dynasty) in India.
In 1206 Muhammad Ghuri died. Hearing the news of his death Qutubuddin Aibak declared himself king of Hindusthan and got Khutba read in his name. As the important rulers of this dynasty were slaves in some periods of their lives, the dynasty established by Qutubuddin is known as Slave dynasty or Ghulam Dynasty. But Elphinstone, Smith and some other historians preferred to call the dynasty as Mamluk dynasty. The meaning of Mamluk is a slave whose parents are free citizens.
He died in 1210 due to a fall from a horse whilst playing Polo and was buried at Lahore. The Turks only introduced polo in India.
