<p>[QUOTE="EWC3, post: 4874973, member: 93416"]Yes. Surely Alauddin Khilji was great by any standards. Seems to me most Sultanate, Suri and Early Moghul rulers tried (and largely failed) to live up to the standards he had set. Interesting that (like Akbar and Charlemagne) its suggested he never learned to read and was thus perhaps somewhere on the dyslexic spectrum. Kind of fits with his independence of mind - in rejecting orthodox Islam and supporting the efforts of the Hindu guy in the street etc. He was kind of hard on tipplers though.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
