10. Siddhi
revolt

11. Journeying all the way from Abyssinia, their motherland, through the treacherous
waters, the ‘habshis’ (another term used for addressing the Siddis, descendants
of the Bantu people) arrived at the Deccan as a part of the ongoing lucrative slave
trade by the Arab merchants. The very distinguished Moroccan scholar, Ibn
Batutta recounts how the habshis were reputed for being formidable, such that
the presence of even a single habshi in a ship would make the pirates turn away
from it. While most of the habshis arrived as slaves and soldiers for the armies of
the Delhi Sultanate, not all remained so, and some even climbed the social ladder
to become dignified nobles. One of such nobles was Jamal-ud-din Yakut, a close
confidant of Razia Sultan (the first female monarch to assume the ascendancy
over the Delhi Sultanate), who enjoyed a privileged position as the Amir al-Umara
(Amir of Amirs), under her patronage. His growing proximity with the Sultana,
along with his racial humbleness, earned him great spite from the Turkish clerics,
especially Malik Ikhtiar-ud-din Altunia, who led a violent rebellion against the
two, ultimately culminating in his tragic end.
