Salari, 'Izz al-Din Muhammad

(?-1240?)

   He served in In-dia since Muhammad Ghauri's time (d. 1206), and under Iltutmish (1211-1236) he held the position of barbeg. Salari initially sided with powerful nobles headed by Nizam ul-Mulk Junaidi, who had refused to recognize Raziya's accession. After some negotiations, he crossed to Raziya's side. When Raziya and her husband, Altunia, marched on Delhi (1240) to suppress Bahram Shah (1240-1242), he was with them but disappeared from the scene following Raziya's de-feat.
