Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Military expeditions into the south started during the reign of Alauddin Khalji, who was one of the most powerful rulers of the Sultanate of Delhi. Alauddin Khalji dispatched an army under Malik Kafur's command to the southernmost kingdoms of India. However, he refrained from annexing the southern states and asked them to submit vast treasures. He effectively forced them to submit to Delhi's sovereignty. He also raided places in Telangana, Madura, and Devagiri. Thus Khilji subdued most southern kingdoms until he reached Rameshwaram in the south.
Hence, the correct statement would be that Alauddin Khilji expanded his reign to South India.
