Malik Altunia was the governor of Bhatinda (Punjab) in India under the rule of the Delhi Sultanate under the Mamluk Sultanate. He led a revolt against Razia Sultana, the Sultana of Delhi and his childhood friend. To escape death, Razia agreed to marry Altunia. Altunia and Razia undertook to take back the sultanate from Muizuddin Bahram Shah, her brother, through battle, and both were killed on October 14, 1240 (some sources say October 13) near present day Kaithal in Haryana.[1]
