'Hauz Khas Complex'
This complex borders the tank known originally as the Hauz-e-Alai which was constructed during the reign of Alauddin Khilji (ruled 1296-1316). It lay somewhat to The west of Alauddin's newly fortified City of Siri. The water was collected in it mainly during The rainy season and was Then used throughout the year by The people in the neighbourhood. In The years after Alauddin, lack of maintenance led to silting up of The channels that fed the tank and it dried up.During The reign of Feroz Shah Taghluq (ruled 1351-88) the water supply system to the tank was restored. The tank then came to be known as the Hauz-e-Khas or Royal Tank.
At The same time Feroz Shah also built Madrasa-e-Feroz Shahi around The South-Western edge of the tank. This was an institution of higher education and was endowed by The emperor himself. It's reputation as a premier centre of learning was enhanced because it employed teachers who were scholars of note. It attracted students from far and wide and They were given generous stipends for The time they were in The college.
The importance of The site was also evident from The fact that Feroz Shah chose this place to build his own tomb at a focal point in The complex. The college buildings were arranged in an I-Shape around The South-Western corner of The Hauz Khas, Giving the rooms a good view over The expense of water. The connection between The building and The tank were strengthened by The several sets of steps leading down from The college to the tank. On The other side, the buildings were edged by a beautiful Garden. Fourteenth century visitors invariably described the building and their setting in glowing terms.'
