History

Balkha was the son of Ghiyasuddin Iwaj Shah. After the death of Nasiruddin Mahmud, Balkha captured the throne of Bengal. Balkha styled himself as the independent ruler of Bengal. But Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish once again invaded Bengal in 1231. Balkha was later captured and killed. Thus the rule of Khilji dynasty in Bengal came to an end.
