During the southern campaigns, Malik Kafur besieged Warangal, ruled by Pratap Rudradeva (Rudrama’s successor). After being defeated, Rudradeva agreed to pay a large tribute to Alauddin Khalji. Among the treasures handed over was the legendary Kohinoor diamond, which later became one of the most famous gems in world history. Malik Kafur presented this diamond to Alauddin as part of the immense wealth obtained from the Deccan expeditions. This moment symbolized the complete submission of Warangal and highlighted the success of Alauddin’s southern expansion. The Kohinoor thus entered Delhi as a prized war trophy.
