Alauddin Jani (Bengali: আলাউদ্দিন জানি, Persian: علاء الدین جانی) was a governor of Bengal from 1232 until 1233 during the time of Mamluk dynasty.[1][2]
History
Alauddin assisted Nasiruddin Mahmud to suppress the revolt of Iwaz Khalji in 1227.[3]
In 1232, Alauddin was appointed as the governor of Bengal by the Delhi Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish after Balka Khalji was removed from power. Alauddin ruled Bengal only for a year and a few months.[1] He was then succeeded by Saifuddin Aibak.
