There are cases of Abyssinian Ministers attaining high position in Hindustan in 16th Century. We should not forget the Slave Dynasty in this regard.<br /><br />Another interesting case is of an Eunuch general, Malik Kafur of Ala-ud-din Khilji, and the black general Malik Amber of a South Indian Abhayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797421588360034980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026714605465516937.post-89278737623135942122014-10-12T15:38:43.406+05:302014-10-12T15:38:43.406+05:30Well, we cannot compare writers and queens.
