What is the actual meaning of the name Altamash?
Altamash - Male - Name of a famous king.
Reply:Shams-ud-Din Iltutmish, or Altamash, (Persian: 卮賲爻 丕賱丿蹖賳 丕賱鬲鬲賲卮 ) was the third Sultan of Delhi and the third ruler of the Slave dynasty (d. 1236). I checked several name sites and a couple about Indian history, but i couldn't find the meaning of the name. Sorry.
Reply:Altamash - One of The Most Significant Kings of Slave Dynasty








Eight months after Aram Shah took the reins of Delhi his unhappy nobles requested Malik Shams-ud-din Altamash, Aibak鈥檚 son-in-law, to takeover. and thus was crowned one of the most important kings of the Slave dynasty. Altamash was a shrewd and intelligent man. He quickly realized that, if anything was to be saved of the Turkish possessions in India, he would have to strengthen the Sultanate and prevent the Turkish nobles from breaking away and carving out independent domains for themselves.





So, the first thing he did was to crush the highhanded Qutbi and Muizzi Maliks and the governors of Multan and Bengal. Then he turned to Yaldoz who was still a major threat. Not only did Altamash pulverize the forces of Yaldoz, he also had the man captured and sentenced to death. Next he turned his attention to the Rajputs, who were beginning to throw their weight about after the death of Aibak. The Chandellas had taken back Ajaigarh and Kalinjar, the Pratiharas had reoccupied Gwalior, Narwar and Jhansi, the Chauhans of Ranthambhore had won back Jodhpur, the Jalor Chauhans had moved in on large areas of south-western Rajasthan and the Jadon Bhattis had established their sovereignty with Alwar as their capital.
