Some historians say that, it was because of Malik Altunia's undying support and protective shield towards her, that she managed to rule successfully for four years. Due to his services to her and the Sultanate, she made him the Governor of Bhatinda which was under the rule of the Delhi Sultanate. He helped her break the 40 Amirs and strengthen her rule, he also helped her in over throwing the rule of Shah Turkan and her son, Ruknuddin Firoz who were very cruel. During the reign of Razia Sultan, he stood by her like a pillar through thick and thin times.
He was given the charge of sharab-dar (office the care of the liquors) and after sometime when Sultan Itutmish saw the bravey and manliness in him he gave him the office of Sar Chatar-dar (head of the state canopy-bearers). Mirza Altunia born was some time around 1204 in Bhatinda, Punjab.
Malik Ikhtiyar-ud-din Altunia was the lover and husband of Razia Sultan and the governor of Bhatinda ( Punjab) in India under the rule of the Delhi Sultanate under the Mamluk dynasty.
