Now appointing Martand is, you can say, quite farfetched. although the hindu nobles, the rajputs were the previous rulers, they had to yield most of their powers to the newly formed ruling class. but then they represented the majority of population. even sultan mahmud was forced to recruit them in civil and military departments, and as time increased their numbers increased in all the branches of govt. but yes, high positions were seldom bestowed upon a hindu.
so, martand as a military commander is perhaps not such blunder as portraying Yaakuth as Aaltuniya.
