(Redirected from Malik Balkha Khalji)

Malik Balka Khalji was the governor of Bengal during 1230–1231 under Delhi Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish.

History

Balka was the son of Ali Sher Khalji. After the death of Alauddin Daulat Shah Khalji, Balka captured the throne of Bengal. Malik Balka styled himself as the independent ruler of Bengal. Angered by this, Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish once again invaded Bengal in 1231 and marched against Balka and his army. Balka was later defeated, captured and killed. Thus the rule of Khalji dynasty of Bengal came to an end.
