Muhammad of Ghur is assassinated while returning in 1206 to Afghanistan.

Qutb-ud-Din remains in India and declares himself sultan of Delhi, the first of the Mamluk (Slave) dynasty.

Concurrent with the exploits of Muhammad of Ghur, an obscure adventurer, Ikhtiyar-ud-Din Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji of the Ghurid army, conquers Nadia, the capital of the Sena kings of Bengal, in 1202.

Within two years, Bakhtiyar had embarked upon a campaign to conquer Tibet in order to plunder the treasure of its Buddhist monasteries as well as to gain control of Bengal's traditional trade route leading to Southeast Asian gold and silver mines.

After the attempt ends in disaster, Bakhtiyar manages to return to Bengal with a few hundred men and dies there in 1206.
