As a general of Sultan Jalaluddin, Alauddin Khalji (then known as Ali Gurshasp) raided the Paramara city of Bhilsa in 1293 CE. He damaged the city's Hindu temples, and looted a large amount of wealth.

Background

Alauddin Khalji was the governor of Kara in Sultan Jalaluddin's Delhi Sultanate. Although he feigned allegiance to the Sultan, he was determined to dethrone Jalaluddin, and sought to raise money for a successful coup. Towards this objective, he decided to target Bhilsa, a wealthy city in the Paramara kingdom of Malwa. By the 1290s, the Paramaras had been weakened by Chahamana, Vaghela, and Yadava invasions.{{sfn|Banarsi Prasad Saksena|1992|p=321}} In late 1292 CE, Alauddin Khalji obtained the Sultan's permission to raid Bhilsa.{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|p=44}}

The raid

In 1293 CE, Alauddin marched towards Bhilsa via the Chanderi-Ujjain road.{{sfn|Banarsi Prasad Saksena|1992|p=322}}{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|p=44}} His sudden attack took the city's residents by surprise.{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|p=44}}

The town had several richly-endowed Hindu temples, from which Alauddin obtained a large amount of wealth, including precious metals and cattle.{{sfn|Banarsi Prasad Saksena|1992|p=322}} The residents of Bhilsa concealed their idols in the riverbed of Betwa to prevent Alauddin's army from desecrating them. But Alauddin had these idols hauled out of Betwa. He damaged a number of temples, and plundered a large amount of wealth.{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|p=44}} According to Badauni's Muntakhab-ut-Tawarikh, Alauddin also brought to Delhi a large Hindu idol, which was placed at the Badaun Gate to be trampled by the people.{{sfn|Dineschandra Sircar|1971|p=117}}{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|pp=44-45}}

Aftermath

At Bhilsa, Alauddin came to know about the immense wealth of the southern Seuna (Yadava) kingdom, and about the routes leading to their capital Devagiri. Therefore, he shrewdly surrendered the loot from Bhilsa to Jalaluddin to gain the Sultan's confidence, while withholding the information on the Yadava kingdom.{{sfn|A. B. M. Habibullah|1992|p=322}}

A pleased Jalaluddin rewarded Alauddin with the office of Ariz-i Mamalik (Ministry of War), which his father once held. Jalaluddin also made him the governor of Awadh, and granted his request to use the revenue surplus for hiring additional troops.{{sfn|Banarsi Prasad Saksena|1992|p=322}}{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|p=45}} Subsequently in 1296, Alauddin raided Devagiri, and used that loot to raise an army and usurp the power from Jalaluddin.{{sfn|Kishori Saran Lal|1950|p=45}}
