Ma'bar Sultanate (Persian: مابار سلطنت), also known as the Madurai Sultanate, was a short lived kingdom based in the city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. It was Urdu speaking.[1] The sultanate was proclaimed in 1335 CE in Madurai led by Jalaluddin Ahsan Khan, a native of Kaithal in North India,[2] declared his independence from the Sultanate of Delhi.
Ahsan Khan and his descendants ruled the Madurai Sultanate and surrounding territories until 1378 CE when the last sultan, Ala-ud-Din Sikandar Shah was killed in the battle of Madurai by Kumara Kampana and his forces were defeated by Vijayanagara forces and the Vijayanagara Empire conquered the Sultanate. During this short span of 43 years, the Sultanate had eight different rulers.
