Who was the Darwesh Shah? 

As per one story he the one who had asked a group of boys over six centuries ago whether they would like to buy the kingdom of Delhi for 2,000 tankas? Only Bahlol agreed and was blessed by the darwesh. His friends later made fun of him for being “a fool”. Bahlol replied that it was not so, because if the darwesh's word was true he stood to gain a kingdom, and if it was not so, he had done the right thing in giving a fakirwhat he desired. How right he was is evident, for Bahlol Lodhi became the founder of a dynasty which bore his name.
