The correct answer is option 1, Hasan Gangu. Hasan Gangu, also known as Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah, was the founder of the Bahmani Kingdom. He established this kingdom in 1347 after overthrowing the ruling power of the Delhi Sultanate in the Deccan region of South India. Hasan Gangu was a commander in the Delhi Sultanate and took advantage of the political instability to establish his own independent kingdom. He declared himself as Bahman Shah and made Gulbarga his capital. The Bahmani Kingdom flourished and lasted for about two centuries, becoming one of the prominent medieval Islamic kingdoms in South India. It played a significant role in the cultural, political, and economic development of the Deccan region.
