English Wikipedia - The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Qutb Shahi dynasty
The Qutb Shahi dynasty was a Twelver Shi'i Muslim Turkoman dynasty, purportedly related to the Kara Koyunlu(Black Sheep Turkomans) dynasty that initially patronized Persianate culture. Its members were collectively called the Qutub Shahis and were the ruling family of the kingdom of Golkonda in modern-day India. The Golconda sultanate was constantly in conflict with the Adil Shahis and Nizam Shahis. In 1636, Shah Jahan forced the Qutb Shahis to recognize Mughal suzerainty, which lasted until 1687 when the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb conquered the Golcondan sultanate.
