Ziauddin Barani (Urdu: ضیاء الدین برنی ; 1285–1358 CE) was an Indian [1] [2] [3] political thinker of the Delhi Sultanate located in present-day Northern India during Muhammad bin Tughlaq and Firuz Shah's reign.
However, the term jagir was not used in Barani's days, and seems to be a copyist's addition. Alauddin ordered all New Muslim men of Delhi Sultanate to be killed. [2] According to Barani, 20,000 or 30,000 Mongol men were massacred as a result of Alauddin's orders. [6] Their women and children became destitute.

[1] Historian Peter Jackson believes that "Saldi" is the Indian transcription of the Mongol name "Sogedei" (or "Sogetei"). The 14th century chronicler Isami describes Saldi as a Turk and his associate as a "Baluch".
Barani portrays the killing of Mubarak Shah as a Hindu-Muslim conflict. [21] He claims that 5–6 days after Khusrau Khan's ascension to the throne, the Baradus and other Hindus started idol worship in the palace, and would sit on the Quran.
