@@arda213 they names themselves as son in law to genghis and did call themselves Mongol but not in our modern definition.
Turkic and Mongolia lineage is extremely similar.
Mughals were not the descendants of Timur. It's fake shit. Lots of Kings or leaders used to attach their names to some popular leaders. Mughals hated Timur. There's a conversation between some dude a Mughals king where he say Timur was Mongol simp and they don't like Mongols.
They became Indianised.
Great animation by the way. But you're showing the Indian sultans wearing Mughal dresses. The Mughals (who were Indian Mongols) did not arrive in India until 1526. In 8:45 I can see the Red Fort of Delhi which is a Mughal monument, not a monument of the Delhi Sultanate. The burning from the Red Fort scene in 16:36 would better fit in a video about the 1857 Sepoy mutiny.
Mughals weren't indian Mongols bit more like indian
Most mughals has indian gene
they were called Mughals actually they were temorids Turks , Babar mother was Mongolian Descendant of Chagatai khan , that's his descendant called Mughals

Excellent….both in-depth and accurate. Also, along with the ill omens faced by Chingiz khan warning about Indian invasion….there are few reports of Indian weather discouraging the mongols from invading India, as the humid/wet weather affects the mongol composite bow, which is an extremely critical element to their battle tactic
@@muhammadadeel8639 I doubt it…mongols never had problem dealing with larger population / armies….they used to be masters in the “fighting retreat” battle tactic in which they used annihilate large armies. For eg: in Eastern Europe / Central Asia and lastly China.

Nice to see this part that you touched time ago, being elaborated.
Mamluks were the kryptonite of Mongols, first Bahri Mamluks of Egypt against the Ilkhanid Mongols and later Khalaj Mamluks of India against Chagataid Mongols
Although the Turks often comprised the bulk of the Mongol army as well as the bulk of armies opposed to the Mongols, throughout the domains of the Mongol Empire there was a diffusion of military technology, which has already bee and also ethnic groups. In addition to the Mongols and Turks, other ethnicities served in the Mongol military machine and found themselves distant from home.
May, T.M., 2012. The Mongol conquests in world history, London: Reaktion Books. p.222
The warriors in which the Mongols suffered the most severe defeats were the Mamluks. The Mongols thought they were relieved after defeating Jalal al-Din Mangburni after a tough struggle. But his predecessor Qutuz and Qutuz's friends (Baibars, Qalavun) completed the work that Al-Din had left unfinished. At the same time the Khiljis, who supported Jalal al-Din in the Battle of Parwan, defeated the Mongols. The Mongols won against Jalal al-Din but it was their defeat.
Perhaps being a slave soldier who had nothing to lose made these Mamluks extra tough to deal with, compared to peasant based or nobility based soldiers.
They used similar steppe war tactics plus having the discipline of a Muslim army. That's probably why they couldn't conquer them.
@@ElBandito Slave? It would be very much in the modern sense, they were more like purchased family members(sounds strange but that's the best I can put it out there)

*Mongols seeing one random rhino*
Mongols: "I don't like where this is going"
City of Delhi is dotted with number of monuments of Delhi Sultanate era which is said to have contained mongol mass graves within its foundations. Example there is fort named Siri built by Sultan Alauddin Khilji it was built as a military cantonment by Sultan and later sultan would shift his personal residence there. It is said that heads of Mongol prisoners of war were burried within its foundations also word Siri translates to head in hindustani language. Similarly there is tower named chor minar(translated as thief tower) at Hauz khas which is said to have been spot where criminals were executed it is said that mongol POWs heads were buried within its foundations and were plastered between its bricks in the walls of tower.
Mangolpuri - where alauddin massacred mongol prisoners.
@@monsieur1936 yes exactly this locality is near Khan Market this place is also known as Mongol puri kalan. Those mongol prisoners who were pardoned by Jalaluddin Khilji uncle of Alauddin were allowed to settle in delhi and they made this place their locality new home some of them even converted to Islam, at that time local Indians use to refer them Mughals(not to be confused with timurid dynasty of Babur it is a modern 19th century term timurids were never refered as mughals neither they like to be called mughals). But during Alauddin's reign they tried to conspire against him to kill and overthrow him to which Alauddin was very enraged and he unleashed his wrath upon them. In one night it is said that 30 thousand mongols were massacred and women and children were taken as captives.
@@qamarahmad1432 mongols deserved it then bcuz they were brutal invaders. I don't like Islamic invaders too bcuz they burned Taxila university and destroyed temple but if mongols came to India then millions of Indians would have had mongol DNA
He also destroyed the Nalanda library. And many other monuments. He wasn’t a nation builder. He had a mixed record overall.
@@rohanindra6401
Destroy to gain what?
The way the Alauddin Khilji regime pushed back the Mongols six times at the time when the Mongol horde decimated civilzations and not just nations, All of those six battles need to be retold on a larger canvas. The world needs to know that there was someone who stopped this horde a good six times. This is the stuff that Mehmet Bozdaq or Ridley Scott should take a look at.
Jeez, the details are amazing, how many people are working on one video? Amazing as always
Great video thank you. Alot of information, so I may have to view it multiple times.
Why does Alauddin Khilji's face looks here like that of Ranveer Singh's character from Padmavat movie? 😂
Lmao he does 😂😂

So Alauddin was the real hero the entire time?
@@HWDragonborn he is the reason we exist by defeating mongols 5 times else mongols would have eradicated majority of us

Ok now I just want a whole video on the Delhi Sultanate because you just made me realize how criminally underrated they are with this video
India has a high population and it didn't just pop up in a wink.. that time most parts of north india have a huge population compared to europe.. ( europe faced many plague and other things) .. do Delhi defend very well against mongols and other thing is that mongols didn't like humid climate of india😊
@@Playerone1287 I never mentioned Hindu-Muslim, dont be a racist.

If you are really a racist then u will never listen to me, no matter whatever tell u
@@Playerone1287 So true......
Delhi Sultanate had other names too. The Slave Kings. The Slave Dynasty
@@lakhansharma9889Mongols surrendered in front of military might of Dehli Sultanat. It was not only weather which stopped Mongols but Indian heavy cavalary was no match and Dehli had the most powerful military of its time. No one ever defeated mongols in open battles except Egyptian mamluks and Dehli Sultans.
In addition both of Mamluks had understood mongol war strategies and they counter attacked in a more rigorous manner breaking their back.
It's nice to know how various peoples used various methods to defeat the endless hordes of the Mongol Host
Even in the period of the Delhi Sultanates 1,000 years later, the Turkish emperor, Alauddin, who ruled from AD 1296 to 1316, minted coins with an inscription describing himself as a second Alexander (Alauddin Sikander Sani Khalji).
*Turkic
The Khaljis were Afghans
@@unconscious1076 The Khaljis were Turco-Afghans and they came to power through a revolution in which they broke the monopoly of Turkic nobles over the sultanate's administration

Thanks for another good video very interesting and informative 👍🏻
It's great that historiographic debates are included in these videos. Love to see it.
So essentially, to refrain the Mongols from invanding one has to be both very skilled in battle and preferably at least as brutal as them.
The delhi sultanate was also heavily influenced by turkic peoples. Many of them had some knowledge on mongol tactics.
@@vanderwulf6125 right. As had the Mamluks who fought off the Mongols in Egypt. Or the Turkic Kumans who joined the Hungarians and fought against the Mongols.
It takes one to know one.
Of course. You cannot beat an army if you are prepared to do what they can do.
8:29 I would love to see a video about resistances offered by locals like those in Multan, Lahore, etc. Many of the locals were Awans, Khokhars, Jats, Gakkars, etc who lived as tribes with chieftains. They had conflicts with the likes of Muhammad Ghori, Mahmud Ghazni, Aibak and Timur. They are the unsung heroes of Indian Medieval history and should be more talked about.
The Gakkars are my ancestors and clan. We still live along the Jhelum in Pakistan.
@@ahmedshaharyarejaz9886 Glad to know that. My mother is Khokhar. There are 5 Khokhar villages in western UP - Chaprauli, Halalpur, Rathora, Badarkha, Mukandpur. Their ancestors must've migrated from their medieval residence of Multan and Lahore centuries ago.
Unsung heroes in sense of what? Killing innocent hindus , buddhist and sikhs? Forcing native people to convert into Islam? Iam sure u r South Asian and your ancestors were scared of them and converted. Traitors😏
Very nice point..
@@mt1778 Yes, I'm from India. Khokhars here in UP have assimilated with Jats and now are considered a jat gotra rather than a separate ehnic group. I speak Hindi.
Fascinating episode. Nicely done!
Great work ! Loving this
One of the most important topics in the history of India and South East Asia, but still it's never taught at schools or else in a completely different light if it is.
Who told you it's not taught in schools, it's definitely taught in schools
It's important in Medieval history. There's more to history than Medieval times.
You should not be sleeping in class, it is definitely taught in schools. Although not in detail because there are 10,000 other things to include in Indian history.
really.. 😅
Indian history class is all about Sultans and Mughals. Did you slept all the history Classes throughout your Childhood?
Lol, Did you even learn in Indian school? Gtfo
Not India but the Muslim emperor Alaudin Khelji & his most intelligent & reliable general Basha Khan deserve the credit to defeat the Mongols four times & then forced them to leave Afghanistan also.
What is your problem with India & Indians ?
It wasn't Indian Muslim as most 90% Indian Muslim are un martial they are unfit for battles khilji army consisted of central Asian , Afghan and Persian and some Indian rajputs
lol afghanistan remained under mongol occupation, khiljis in 1306 plundered kabul, ghazni and kandahar. Khilji dynasty belonged to the Sultanate of india.
@@sahil5rana I dont get what are you trying to say but, most fearsome generals of khiljis were Inddian, malik kafur, malik ghazi, zafar khan etc. Delhi sultanate was an Indian based sultanate with more indian nobles and soldiers than the turkic ones, Though it allowed foreign noblles too because of which so many central asians and afghans migrated to India to live better life and get better opportunities opportunities
@@atharva7069 lmao most soilder were Persian ,turkic, Afghani,rajputs etc Indian Muslim majority were poetry,weaver etc

Balban was always known for his pragmatism. Not for conquering new cities or lands for glory, he actually worked on consolidation of central power and the security of the Delhi Sultanate. Many rulers who came after his reign didn't have such wisdom.

As an Indian, Thank you for the video. The invasions from North West into India have always been disastrous. However, only the Islamic Invasions are known today. The Mongol invasions and the Pre Islamic invasions ( such as Hunas ) are largely forgotten. So your video in some ways was a historical reminder.
The Mongol and Huna invasions of North West India were only temporary. They did destroy many cities and temples and cause wide spread grief but this did not last long. Moreover, their invasions would not lead to any cultural change or colonisation in North West India. Dharmik people would survive and continue to thrive. However, the Turkic invasions were far more brutal and had a much more permanent effect on the entirety of India
No one forgot Alexander too!
@@dwarasamudra8889 😂😂😂... So if turkic invasions, we're so brutal..

And those who prosecuted dalits, lead to ANNILATION of buddhism, used sati as an instrument, took breast tax from women should not preach about barbarity
@@yameenulhaq280 Well Turkic invasions destroyed Dharmic Buddhist and Hindu cultures of Gandhar(Afghanistan), sindh , Punjab, Kashmir (it was forcefully converted and people were tortured under Sikandar Butshikan and his successors) and Bengal , murdering civilians , looting, raping infidels and destroying their temples and libraries
Muslims in Assam O descendent of islamic thieves aren't ethnically Assamese they are illegal Bangladeshi migrants in Assam and Tripura
Muslims destroyed Buddhism (stupas, viharas , universities, murdering monks and teachers)
Sati wasn't practiced and Dalits weren't during Vedic age it was it was a later construct
Breast tax was limited to Kingdom of Travancore tbh I didn't knew what it was until i researched now
You tried to destroy our culture and country, looting her, colonised her , PARTITIONED HER do you still think we can accept you?

I still wonder what would have happened to Europe if it was not for Ogedei Khan's untimely death
Adolf Hitler must have raged war while throat singing😅
@@komododragon410 LOL
nothing, they were already fkd up by plague. and spread that further to Europe.
Towers of skulls.
Probably not much apart from further devastation and shallow vassal-making.
In the Eastern part, several Rus principalities were destroyed and those who surrendered were made vassals. And, some years later, those who survived just substituted the ones who were destroyed and then thrived.
Maybe Hungary would've been destroyed and later on Bohemia taken its place.
Maybe the Teutonic Order would have survived further on at the expense of Lithuania.
Or maybe a commited alliance could've had resisted them and driven the Mongols off.
Who knows.
But Europe was quite different from Persia, the Kwarazmian Empire or the immense and endless stepe.
Conquering Europe means taking down a thousand castles and fortified cities while being 7000km away from your mainland.
And even if they managed to "conquer" a good chunk of it, you just can't maintain such an empire united while having your capital at Karakorum.
Most of the Mongol Khans were a bunch of obese drunkards, so Ogedei was going to die sooner or later. And his empire, broken as it was.
The Mamuluke (which probably is a AoE2 castle unit) sounds like the Jannisaries
they were all the same, captured from foreign lands in infancy, converted to Islam and made into soldiers. except mamluks were turks serving arabs and jannisaries christian balkaners serving turks.

the fort shown seems to be Red fort which was built in later years by mughals, so showing it here breaks up the timeline (for convivence of understanding)
Before the rise of Genghis Khan Mongolic was spreading at westward and absorbing Turkic speakers (Janhunen, 2008). During the Mongol expansion, Turkic speakers whose tribes and states had been incorporated into the Mongol empire were so much more numerous than Mongols that, although Mongolian was the language of command, it was Turkic rather than Mongolic speech that was chiefly spread across Central Asia and the central and western steppe.
Antonio Benítez-Burraco, Steven Moran 2018 p.92
Zafer Khan was a Punjabi and even this name was given to him by the Turk king.
He was the reason for the defeat of Mongols not the Coward Khiljis
Zaheeruddin Barani, a 14th-century historian from India, mentions a Zafer / Zaheer Khan who was a commander of Sultan Alauddin Khilji's army and fought against the Mongols during their invasion of India.
Malik Kafur, who was a prominent Punjabi military commander during the reign of Alauddin Khilji, the second ruler of the Khilji dynasty in India.
Malik Kafur was originally from the town of Karra in modern-day Multan, Punjab. He started his career as a slave in the household of a Hindu merchant, but was later bought by Alauddin Khilji and became one of his most trusted advisors and generals.
Under Alauddin Khilji, Malik Kafur led several military campaigns, most notably against the Yadava dynasty in the Deccan region of southern India. He was known for his bravery and strategic skills in battle, and was instrumental in the conquest of the wealthy city of Devagiri (modern-day Daulatabad).
Malik Kafur was also involved in the political and administrative affairs of the Khilji court, and was appointed as the governor of several provinces, including Gujarat and Malwa.
However, Malik Kafur's rise to power and wealth also made him many enemies, including members of the Khilji dynasty itself. He was eventually assassinated in 1316, following the death of Alauddin Khilji

@@HM-ee8tjkhalaj was Turkic not Punjabi not Pashtun
@@zzhex6780 Im talking about his general not Khilji himself.
And the empire that succeeded Khiljis was the Punjabi Tughlaq
@@HM-ee8tj the tughlaq weren’t Punjabi even the name tughlaq is of clear Turkic origin
I just got done watching the history of the American mafia. I think another similar topic would be biker gangs! The history of some of the one percenter gangs is insane. I learned a little bit during a criminal course but I'd love a kings and generals video
The Commander that fought Mongols wasnt a Khilji but a Punjabi commander called Zafer Khan from the city of Multan, Punjab.
The army was also mainly Punjabi and Turk.
Lastly a good video on the topic
More history! Om Nom Nom!

Mongols are known for there brutality.
@@sikasbkoju3715 The Turks were no less barbaric.
I hope you'll make a video about Mongol invasion of Java
Please Make Videos on Pala Dynasty, Sena Dynasty.
Title should be how Turko Afghan dynasties and soldiers saved India from the Mongols.
Alauddin's generals Zafar Khan and Malik Kafur were both Indian Muslims, Barani refers to the army at the battle of Kili as mostly being composed of Hindustanis, and Zafar Khan's wing at the battle included Hindu warriors. Let's not get carried away here.
Yesssssss go India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
Can't wait for them to make a video game about this, called Ghost of Bangalore. Totally original idea.

Lol indians? There was no india then it was an empire called the delhi sultanate.
it wasnt an empire better to call it a sultanate..
@@saikrishnak8631 Sultanate is very general term, it can refer to anything from the size of duchy(sultanate of Oman) to a full fledged empire(Ayyubid sultanate)
@@rockinflemingo3075 they never claimed themselves as emperors. there are almost no known empires in india.
@@saikrishnak8631 The title emperor is an anglo roman one, there is no way they would directly use that, however there are equivalent titles
@@saikrishnak8631 the criteria for an empire is direct or indirect control of more than one large country or region
India the land of oldest surviving culture and civilization long live culture
Isn’t the the first time India fought off a nomadic invasion, centuries before this, during the days of Rome, Alchon Huns invaded northern India which at the time was ruled by the Gupta empire though it was in a sate of decline as rebellion and the breakaway of now independent vassals. The huns devastated the land, destroying many cities and ancient Buddha shrines, the Gupta answered the call for help and with their former vassals now allies, drove out the huns. This was sadly the final epic of the Gupta empire as they would later fall to outside threats and internal struggle.
Thanks for refuting the Malauns.
Mind blowing documentary 👌 🙌
Actually it wasn't Alauddin Khalji who defeated the Mongols...it was his general Zafar Khan, who went against the royal orders and attacked the chagatai Mongols in the battle of Kili...and caused them so much damage that they retreated within a few days and didn't return until again for the next few years..as a result of his disobedience, he wasn't praised for his bravery and his name was struck off from the chronicles of Alauddin...The Mongols were so terrorised by Zafar Khan , that whenever their horses refused to drink water, the Mongols would ask them if they had seen Zafar Khan...he is the unsung hero behind the victory of Delhi sultanate...
Yes Zafar Khan the Punjabi General
but he was a muslim

Delhi Empire is so underrated. Even Turks has limited information about it. :(
Delhi sultanate was always losing territories it was not a governing rule but was in constant wars with indian kings.
it was also called Slave Dynasty often shifting power. Some of them were Turkic but were smitten by Persia and often tried to make themselves Persianized. The court language was Persian and some form of Turkic language was known. Not a great time since the power kept in shifting and compared to the Mughals that followed, Delhi Sutanate was not that great. Mughals too were Turkic in origin with mongol blood but they were too smitten by Persia. Seems like Persia was a trend setter. The mughals too tried to Persianize themselves and used Persian as court language. It is said that when British made contact with Mughal king Jahangir, they used Changtai Turk to communicate.
@@islandsunset Mughal were Mongols they looked like Mongols not Turks. Where ever Mongols went they accepted that place culture.
@@mtf_savage_beasts2565 Babur was related to both Timur and Chengis Khan. He used Chantai Turk as his mother tongue. He definitely had Mongol blood but if we could ask him, he would identify as a Turkic person. He is great great great grandson of Timur. He was from Fargana Valley and belong to Barlas tribe. They has a Mongol origin but they Turkicized themselves to the extent than they adopted many cultural practices and languages. As I said, Changtai Turk was his mother tongue.
Here I am talking about initial Mughals. By the time of Aurangzeb, they married so many Indian Princesses that Aurangzeb was majority Indian with few few Turkic or Mongol blood.
@@islandsunset Timur was also Mongol he also looked like Mongols. Timur came after Mongols already did conquest of Central Asia.
I wonder if these Mongols could do a better job of taking Bakhmut than the Wagner PMC
If you gave the Mongol soldier and commanders training, equipment and supplies of a NATO military. They would simply avoid Bakhmut and not get involved in a grinding attrition. They would in fact not even bother invading Ukraine.
Comprehensive :)
One of the reason of not attacking India at that time was that he did not have enough force to meet a fresh and powerful army of Sultan of Dehli. Gengez Khan fought the last brutal battle with joint forces of Khawarzim shah and Afghan tribes which destroyed a large part of mongol army and suffering a crushing defeat. Later Gengez Khan attacked Khwarzim Shah and destroyed his forces at the cost of heavy losses which make them unable to continue his campaigns in India. This fact was proven later when mongols attacked India and suffered crushing defeats in the hands of Alauddin Khilji Sultan of Dehli. In fact mongol emire disintegrated as soon as they started fighting with Mamluks of Egypt and Mamluks of Dehli who inflicted crushing defeats on mongols resulting in disintegration of mongol empire.
Gengez refrained from attacking India which was right decion otherwise they would have lost their power very early.
Sultan's Army cantonment and later personal palace was named "Dar ul Khilafat" but was popularly called Siri. Derived from word "Sir" meaning head, it was famous for having mongol skulls in the foundation of the walls. Some of the walls and still remain to this day and the area is still called Siri.
Ser..
The Commander that fought Mongols wasnt a Khilji but a Punjabi commander called Zafer Khan from the city of Multan, Punjab.
The army was also mainly Punjabi and Turk.
Good Job, great video as always 👏👏 although not according plan.
Btw, kings and generals, can you make video on the next series about how Vietnamese and Javanese defended against the Mongols? I think you should talk about it because it is underrated topic.
Yep, working on those episodes!
@@KingsandGenerals yes!! I can't wait to watch it!! 😁😁
@@KingsandGenerals please make videos on Kashmir's defence against mongols
@@KingsandGenerals king sna generals could you be doing an episode about the battle of Zelaca (Almoravides vs the crusades) in spain
There's already an episode or two about the Vietnamese but none on the Javanese. I've been asking that one for years. 😪
Please please n please a story about the "Vale of Kashmir".... Thanks in advance mate
It was possible to fight them off, if only with centralized and determined armed resistance, I've often wondered if a more capable dynasty ruled Iran at the time like say the Sassanids or the Safavids, maybe Iram could have defended itself? As well.
Balban learned not to kill envoys. Was that so hard?
They got invaded anyway. The killing envoy thing was just a bs pretext. They wanted to invade anyway.
Actually Balban did killed some envoys and not to talk about Alauddin he would butcher a whole mongol hoarde of prisoners and populace to terrorise them bury their heads, limbs and bodies within the foundations of any fort, tower or any building he would newly construct. The dude was ultra-savage giving mongols taste of their own brutality.
Fighting in hot and humid Indian summers is something no Mongol would be willing to do. I am from Mongolia and our capital city is the coldest in the world.
Which tribe do you belong to?
@@Samedisi Borjigin tribe, as with many modern Mongolians. Reason being during Soviet era, the Soviet Union deliberately broke apart the Mongolian tribal system so nowadays most Mongolians have no idea which tribe they belong to, so they mostly choose Borjigin as their tribe.
@@ElBandito interesting
