 Causes For The Decline Of Delhi Sultanate
 There was no definite law of succession,
after the death of each sultan ,the
situation gave rise to many civil wars.
 The nobles became the king makers &
controlled the weak sultans.
 Jagir system gave rise to disintegration that
weakened the kingdom.
 The invasion of Timur & Babur was the
main cause for the downfall of the Delhi
sultanate. TIMUR--
