Alauddin Jani

Alauddin Jani (Bengali: আলাউদ্দিন জানি, Persian: علاء الدین جانی‎) was a governor of Bengal from 1232 until 1233 during the time of Mamluk dynasty.[1][2]

History

Alauddin assisted Nasiruddin Mahmud to suppress the revolt of Ghiyasuddin Iwaj Shah in 1227.[3]

In 1232, Alauddin was appointed as the governor of Bengal by Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish after Malik Balkha Khilji was removed from power. Alauddin ruled Bengal only for a year and a few months.[1] He was then succeeded by Saifuddin Aibak.
