iltutmish laid down the foundation of the mamluk dynasty and the delhi sultanate as an independent hereditary kingdom, freeing it from a subordinate position to ghazni. the delhi sultanate endured as the preeminent power in northern india until the arrival of the mughals in 1526. he was an efficient administrator, whose efforts created a stable entity. amongst his innovations were the importation of the iqtadari system, to reduce the power of hereditary feudal lords, and a new coinage system. though he was devout muslim, he overruled those in the ulema who wanted the state to vigorously pursue the religious conversion of hindus. he understood the limits to which islamic law could be implemented in a largely non-muslim country. this balance became a feature of turkic rule in delhi. he made delhi the capital of his kingdom and invested in numerous waterworks, mosques and learning institutions. his patronage of scholars and artists made delhi an important cultural centre. he encouraged the immigration of nobles, scholars, poets, and religious figures from other parts of the islamic world ravaged by the mongol invasion to delhi.
