Why slave dynasty is also referred to mamluk dynasty?

The Slave Dynasty is also referred to as the Mamluk Dynasty because its rulers were primarily of slave origin, known as "mamluks," which means "owned" in Arabic. These were typically Turks or Central Asians who were enslaved and later rose to power in the Indian subcontinent. The dynasty was established by Qutb al-Din Aibak in the 13th century and is notable for its military prowess and the establishment of significant architectural landmarks in Delhi. The term "Mamluk" highlights the unique background of its rulers, who transitioned from being slaves to sovereigns.
