Mongol invasion of India | Battle of Kili 1299 | How India DEFENDED AGAINST the Mongols. In the 13th century, the Mongol Empire, under the leadership of Genghis Khan and his successors, was rapidly expanding across Asia, bringing unprecedented military and political changes. While the Mongols conquered vast territories from China to Eastern Europe, they also directed their attention toward the Indian subcontinent.
During this time, Punjab and Northern India were seen as prime targets because of their wealth in resources, agriculture, and key trade routes, especially Delhi. Delhi was a major trade hub, connecting various important regions. Merchants from all over the world-from Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia-flocked to Delhi to exchange goods. Indian products like cotton textiles, silk, spices, and precious metals were traded for horses, weapons, silk, and luxury items from distant lands.
Mongol invasion of India | Battle of Kili 1299 | How India DEFENDED AGAINST the Mongols. Delhi's markets were always bustling with diverse goods coming from different regions. The trade port near the Yamuna River facilitated the flow of goods, making Delhi a crucial stop along transcontinental trade routes. One of the most attractive sectors for traders was the silk and cotton textile industry, which flourished during this period. Fabrics like muslin (a soft, fine silk) and various cotton and woolen textiles from India were exported to faraway places like Persia, Egypt, and even Europe.
And of course, all that wealth ignited the Mongols' ambitions. Unlike India, they didn’t have a flourishing agricultural society or complex village systems. They didn’t have fixed cities. Instead, they moved freely and used war as a key tool to expand and maintain their power. Their goals were simple: take away tributes and treasure from the kingdoms they had conquered, and take from them the latest technology, in addition, capture beautiful women for their harem and the most able-bodied men for their military.
Mongol invasion of India | Battle of Kili 1299 | How India DEFENDED AGAINST the Mongols. The Mongols didn’t just invade; they wiped out entire civilizations. To give you an idea, during Genghis Khan’s invasion of the Persian Empire in 1222, millions were killed in major cities: 1 million in Urgench, 700,000 in Merv, 1.7 million in Nishapur, 500,000 in Rey, and 1.6 million in Herat. Altogether, that’s nearly 6 million people from just those cities. It’s said that during this campaign alone, the Mongols killed around 1.5% of the world’s population at the time.
So, when Indian dynasties faced the Mongols, they were up against an army that wasn’t just strong and brutally savage, but one that approached war with an entirely different mindset. And the later battles between them would probably have hardly happened if the Mongols had not set foot on Indian soil for the first time under very special circumstances.
It all started in 1221, when a Mongol force chased Jalal al-Din Mangburni, the prince of the defeated Khwarezmian Empire, into Punjab. The Mongols fought his army there, and although Jalal al-Din escaped, his forces suffered heavy losses. After this battle, the Mongols decided not to push further into India to find Jalal al-Din due to the unfamiliar terrain and tough conditions, so they returned to Central Asia.
But the Mongols didn’t forget. In the following years, they regularly raided northern India, especially Punjab, forcing the Delhi Sultanate to divert massive resources to defense. In 1241, a Mongol army captured Lahore, one of the Delhi Sultanate’s key cities-shocking the court since Lahore was an economic and strategic hub. Then, in 1245, they seized Multan, putting even more pressure on the Sultanate.

You shohld have discussed battle of Amroha also where Mongols were annihilated. The Battle of Amroha was a significant conflict that took place in 1305 in the town of Amroha, located in northern India, during the Delhi Sultanate period. It was fought between the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, led by General Malik Kafur, and the Mongol invaders. Background During the reign of Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316), the Delhi Sultan Alauddin was determined to repel these invasions and secure the northern borders of his sultanate. The Mongols had previously conducted raids into the Delhi Sultanate, which often led to severe losses for both sides. After a recent series of incursions, Alauddin assigned General Malik Kafur and other commanders to launch a decisive defense against the Mongols. The Battle The Mongols, under the leadership of Ali Beg and Tartaq, advanced into the Delhi Sultanate territories and reached Amroha. However, Alauddin's forces, led by prominent generals such as Malik Kafur and Ghazi Malik (later known as Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq), were well-prepared for the confrontation. The Delhi Sultanate army strategically positioned itself and managed to surround the Mongol forces, preventing their escape. The battle was brutal and marked by intense close-quarters combat. The Sultanate's forces decisively defeated the Mongols, capturing and executing many of them. This victory at Amroha was instrumental in weakening Mongol ambitions in the Indian subcontinent and reinforced Alauddin Khilji’s reputation as a powerful ruler capable of defending his realm. The battle highlighted the strategic and military capabilities of the Delhi Sultanate and helped solidify its dominance in the region for years to come.

One of my pet peeves is the rampant miss use of the word "decimated" by that account the force being discussed was annihilated. Decimation was originally a Roman mass punishment for an entire unit; every tenth man was executed. Decimation now more accurately used would imply a unit took heavy casualties but was still more or less intact as a unit.

[@gerardhart9052]

All that knowledge of Mongol tactics did not prevent the Mongols from using their favorite tactic successfully. What really won the battle was that the Mongols lost confidence when they saw how difficult it was to just beat one of the armies and knew that the tactic would not work any more. This underscores the value of bravery but more importantly that discipline is the paramount attribute as if the orders were followed casualties would have been much less.

[@alexandraasdn]

There are a few mistakes I think about Zafar khan and his role in the battle against Mongols. When Qutlugh Khuwaja was crossing over India and marching towards Delhi, Zafar khan was stationed at Multan and not Delhi. Alaudin Khilji was in Delhi himself but was informed very late of Mongol invasion and hence had a very little time to make preparations for the battle. Many suggested that they should fight from inside but Alaudin rejected and decided to face Mongols on the battle field. Zafar khan intercepted Qutlugh Khuwaja on many occasions but Qutlugh khuwaja refused to engage him in a battle because he wanted to reach delhi on the earliest. He famously once told Zafar Khan off when he tried to challenge him by saying that Kings only fight kings and that Zafar khan should join his king against Qutlugh Khuwaja. Upon his arrival and when battle formations were set, Alaudin explicitly told his generals to not chase mongols without his orders because he was well aware of Mongol tactics. Punishment for such disobedience was death. When the battle started and Zafar khan neglected Alaudins orders he found himself surrounded by Mongols. He knew no help was going to come. Only way forward was death and hence he ordered his men to fight like hundreds. 500 men killed 5000. Zafar khan in a bid to redeem himself fought gallantly. Mongols who witnessed such courage lost morale and once Qutlugh was seriously injured, the battle was over.

Come on - let's stop re inventing things. The Dehli Sultanate were Turkic rulers who were also invaders. They ruled the natives. These Turks limited the Mongols. Where are the Indians you are talking about. Just accept facts as they are. You can't re invent what you want. You can celebrate the Turkish victory over the Mongol victory if you want - both armies had a great number of Central Asian Turkic warriors. There was no "India" then so what "Indian" army ? Listen to the names of the leaders of the armies of the so called Indians who are in fact ruling Turks who were invaders themselves.

[@sbsfio]

The Delhi Sultans primarily considered themselves Turkic, particularly during the early stages of the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526). This is because many of the ruling dynasties and nobles of the Sultanate were of Turkic origin. Persian was the court language of the Sultanate, but many rulers and elites were fluent in Turkic dialects, which were part of their heritage. Turkic customs and traditions influenced their court practices, military organization, and governance. The Turkic identity was reinforced by their reliance on Turkic soldiers and commanders, many of whom were part of the Mamluk slave-soldier system. As the Sultanate expanded and incorporated diverse populations, the rulers began identifying more broadly with Islamic universalism rather than solely with their Turkic roots. However, the early rulers, especially those in the Mamluk and Khilji dynasties, strongly identified with their Turkic heritage, which shaped the foundational years of the Sultanate. Why do you apologists need to bring "Indian Muslim loyal to India" whining every time? Try to be objective. Present day Indian Muslims have nothing to do with Turkic colonizers, same way Indian Christians have nothing to do with European colonizers. BTW, Britishers defended India from many Afghan invasions, that doesn't make then "Indian empire". We were under foreign occupation, just accept the facts.

The total value of this shipment was estimated to be around 300,000 dinars. Even your favorite Alauddin Khilji sent a gift of 100,000 tankas (a currency used in the Delhi Sultanate) to the Mamluk Sultan, Al-Nasir Muhammad, in 1315 CE. This gift was just sent as a symbol of friendship. There are not detailed records about their finances. Most of the records are from where they are boasting to their countrymen about their conquest over India. They were not obliged to pay taxes to their local governments like the British. Most of their loot was spent on constant military expeditions and raids. They didn't had factories back home that they could exploit like British. They did their exploitation in their own ways- massacre, slavery, religious fanaticism, cultural imperialism, racism.

We never credit the Delhi sultanate of protecting the Hindi mainland from the mongols for over 100 years, yes they imposed taxes including religious tax but to what end , to keep mongols from spreading the savagery

[@sbsfio]

The Delhi Sultanate period was marked by episodes of violence, religious persecution, and economic exploitation. Temple Destruction: Many rulers, such as Alauddin Khilji and Firuz Shah Tughlaq, destroyed Hindu temples and idols as acts of religious dominance. Notable sites like the Somnath temple were plundered for wealth. Forced Conversions and Persecution: Non-Muslims faced persecution, including forced conversions to Islam. The imposition of the jizya tax on Hindus and other non-Muslims further marginalized them. Firuz Shah Tughlaq is known for forcibly converting thousands. Massacres: Military campaigns often led to mass killings. Alauddin Khilji’s conquest of Chittor resulted in the slaughter of thousands of civilians. Timur's sack of Delhi in 1398, though during a weakened Sultanate, resulted in over 100,000 deaths. Economic Oppression: Heavy taxation under rulers like Alauddin Khilji impoverished farmers and common people. Revenue systems often exploited rural populations to fund military campaigns. Slavery: Firuz Shah institutionalized slavery on a large scale, establishing a department specifically for managing enslaved Indians. He is said to have enslaved over 180,000 individuals during his reign. The Hindu Kush mountain range, located in modern-day Afghanistan. The name "Hindu Kush" is translated as "Hindu Killer." This name is believed to have originated due to the high mortality rate of Hindu slaves transported through these mountains.

India as we know today, never defeated the Mongols. It was the Muslim Sultanate of Delhi (Muslim Rulers of Turkish descent) that defeated the Mongol Hoardes in South-West Asia, while the Arabs also defeated the West Asia and Middle Eastern Mongol Hoardes at Ain Jalut. Please don't mislead the world.

[@Mirpurmad]

well these Muslims were Indians because they settled down there and had converted local population as well. Indian is not equal to Hindu. thats a wrong notion. although the Muslim Rulers of India were themself foreign invaders but they settled down and lived there so in a way became Indians.

[@koneos6580]

Delusional rewrite history. India only existed after the British colonized the area then formed an India trading Company for management conveniences then evolved into a nation.

[@Mirpurmad]

@@koneos6580 the word Hindustan (English translation of India) was a term coined by Turks and Persians. the Afghans and central Asians always called this Place as Hind. yes the word India is British name. but thats all a secondary discussion. the point of this video is the settlers or natives of this land mass , the subcontinent whatever you are willing to call it.. managed to fight and stand up to Mongols.

[@srivsnow4990]

If you want to be "truth" & "justice", the concept is NOT separate in Islam, which you are advocating! In South Asia, every person who is Muslim is a convert, if not an outright foreigner! The irony is, these invaders settled down and converted the masses and I believe you're one of them! * TRUTH: King and Leaders conquer, not their religion or ethnic descent!!! * JUSTICE: Allaudin Khilji, is the Hindoostan's brave "Sultan" who did are a lot of reforms in civil and military terms to get that honor of defeating the Mongols, so many times, and so precisely ... that Mongols went ll the way to Eastern Europe and Middle East but couldn't massacre anything in Hindustan! * JUSTICE: 1. He kept the entire army on payroll, not only at the time of the war, but also peacetime and kept them training ! 2. He created main paved roads, which later became Grand Trunk Road, picked up by Sher Shah Suri ! 3. Clear code for taxation and extra tax "Jazia" for Hindus. 4. Recruited ex-Mongols to train His army to counter Mongols 5. Create wall of severed heads of Mongol soldiers to demonstrate, who is more ruthless in war. ... Doesn't matter what his lineage is, (as these were originally all SLAVES), his religion, he was a successful ruler ... ..and the reason ...YOU are not CHINESE /MONGOL !!! ... No I teach you another word ... R-E-S-P-E-C-T !!! * Go read first, not religious books but history ... to show off "TRUTH" & "JUSTICE" * Luv4rmNJ * we are all humans ...and that was ages ago ... who cares ! * (ALL) Religion are obsolete, science (Google, MSFT, AMZN, youTube, META) is the new Religion NOW ! * PEACE!

The Battle of Kili was a crucial early victory for the Ottoman Empire under Osman I.

This battle marked the beginning of Ottoman expansion into Byzantine territories in Asia Minor.

Evidences: Albaruni mentioned everything in details.

Indian Sultans had better equipped and well trained militatary that inhiliated mongol forces. There may be ktger factors too but the main strong reason mongols got defeated was they faced a superior enemy first time. Not only India, Mongols were beaten in Levant by Egyptian Sultan because of the same reason, the suprior military of Sultan was successful against savage Mongols who merdly relied on superior numbers. Egypt and Indian kings adopted the brilliant strategy of nuetralising Mongols' superior numbers and surprise attacks. Neither superior numbers nor their surprise attacks worked on both fronts.

[@anandawijesinghe6298]

Wrong! Typically mongol armies were much smaller, but much more mobile than those of their opponents.

[@AR-fr8br]

@anandawijesinghe6298 Nope. They had small band for pillage, chaos and fein retreat while gheir main force js always waiting for ambush when the enemy force chase them. They usually came in 30000 to 300000 in numbers depending on the area of opponent. In case of India they could not outnumber their enemy. Instead they were trapped and surrounded and annihilated at tge battle of Amroha. Other than history books people still talk about mongols who were like an evil force coming in huge numbers, they were so dirty that people could smell them from 20 KM away.

Zafar Khans death made me quite sad. I can definitely understand why the Sultan didnt charge forward with him though.

The Mongols were defeated by several powers, including the Japanese, the Delhi Sultans, and the Egyptian Mamluks. After the destruction of Baghdad in 1258, the Mongols' dominance began to decline. The Caliphate was a sacred institution for Muslims, and the Mongols' attack on it provoked strong reactions from key Muslim rulers, particularly the Mamluks of Egypt and Berke Khan of the Golden Horde, both of whom recognized the authority of the Caliph (خلیفہ کی بیعت). When Hulagu Khan attacked Baghdad and killed the Abbasid Caliph, he set the stage for his own downfall. The outrage over this act of sacrilege led both Berke Khan and the Mamluks to unite against him. Hulagu’s forces suffered multiple defeats, including a significant loss at the Battle of Ayn Jalut in 1260 at the hands of the Mamluks. Eventually, a member of Ahl al-Bayt and the Abbasid family was found and appointed as the Caliph. The Caliphate was reestablished in Cairo by the Mamluks, preserving its symbolic authority within the Muslim world. This revived Caliphate remained a central institution for the Muslim world until 1517 when it was abolished by the Ottoman Sultan Selim I after his conquest of Egypt.

What you are saying is so so wrong. Have you heard about mahabharat written thousands of years ago? India didn't exist because the name was invented in bitish raj, Bharat is the name used by locals and has references in epics written thousands of years ago. How can you claim something when you are not even aware of the hindi name of our country. India is the name given by britishers. That doesn't mean India never existed before they gave us a specific name lol. Mauryan empire literally united India 1000 year ago before the british arrived in India and India spanned from modern day afghanistan to mayanmar. It's literally documented history. Where are you getting such bizzare info from ?
