Hisam al-Din Hoshang Shah (died 6 July 1435 [1] ) was the first formally appointed Sultan of the Malwa Sultanate of Central India. [2] [3] Also called Hoshang Shah Ghori, he was known as Arslan Khan before he took on the title Hoshang Shah after being crowned the ruler of the Malwa Sultanate. Arslan Khan's father Dilawar Khan had belonged to the court of Firuz Shah Tughlaq, the Sultan of Delhi. Dilawar Khan Ghori was appointed governor of Malwa probably by Firuz of the house of Tughlaq, but made himself independent of the Delhi Sultanate for all practical purposes in 1401. [4] Thus he had come to Mandu in 1401 practically as the first King of Malwa, although he did not declare himself a king.
