The Sultanate of Gujarat remained independent until 1576, when the Mughal emperor Akbar conquered and annexed it to the Mughal Empire as a province. Surat had become the prominent and main port of India during Mughal rule. Later in the 18th century, parts of Gujarat came under control of the Baroda State, a kingdom within the Maratha Confederacy.
In 1299, the Delhi Sultan Alauddin Khalji sent an army to ransack Gujarat. According to multiple medieval chronicles, Karna had abducted the wife of his minister Madhava and killed Madhava's brother. In revenge, Madhava instigated Alauddin to invade Gujarat. [70] [71] In 1304, Karna lost his throne permanently after a second invasion from Delhi.

Alauddin's conquest of Gujarat would make it convenient for the Muslim merchants of north India to participate in international trade. [3]
