Sultan Quli Qutb-ul-Mulk,[4] more often though less correctly referred to in English as Quli Qutb Shah[a] (1485 – 2 September 1543), was the founder of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which ruled the Sultanate of Golconda in southern India from 1518 to 1687.[8] Of Turkoman[9] origin and born in Persia, he originally served the Bahmani sultan, and was awarded the title Qutb-ul-Mulk (Pillar of the Realm) as military chief;[10] he eventually took control of Golconda.
