Muzaffar Shah I, born Zafar Khan, was a ruler of the Muzaffarid dynasty, who reigned over the Gujarat Sultanate from 1391 to 1403 and later again from 1404 to 1411. Appointed as the governor of Gujarat by Tughluq of Delhi sultanate, he declared independence and founded the Gujarat Sultanate when there was a chaos in Delhi following Timur's invasion. He was disposed by his ambitious son Tatar Khan but he regained shortly the throne when he died. Muzaffar Shah I was a Tanka Khatri convert to Islam. The Gujarati historian Sikandar in his persian work the Mirat-i-Sikandari narrates of the Sultan's ancestors having once been Hindu ‘Tanks’, a branch of Khatris who traced their descent from Rāmachandra. Persian historical sources such as Mirat-i-Ahmad {Chapter 7] say the person who converted to Islam was Sidharan, titled Wajuh Ul Mulk, of the Tank, subcaste of the Khatri community.
