Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah Wali

Ibrahim Qutb Shah Wali, also known by his Telugu names Malki Bharama and Ibharama Chakravarti, was the fourth monarch of the kingdom of Golconda in southern India. He was the first of the Qutb Shahi dynasty to use the title "Sultan". He ruled from 1550 to 1580. He lived for seven years in exile at the court of Vijayanagara as an honoured guest of its ruler Rama Raya. Ibrahim is known for patronizing Telugu extensively because he was moved by a genuine love for the language.
