On the way the Mongols passed from ruderealis to sativa to indica. Once Chitral was reached... the desire to kill, no doubt, became resolutely less and less intense as they reached lndia. The lndians were accustomed, and though they would not attack first, they were determined to fight off invaders.
Mongol army was largely based on horses. That requires alot of feeding, so need to stay where grass is plentiful. Napolean had same issues with his caverly at waterloo. They were spreadout prior to battle so the horses could feed, and had to travel upto 20kms to the battle on the day to get to it.
I'm not sure if it was a different breed of horse or ponies but unlike the European horses the Mongolian horses/ponies could dig roots with their hooves for consumption and they had a wide range of leaves, bushes and grass in their diet that is why they could conquer the lands over 3 continents, so the example of Napoleon is wrong because you can compare him with Genghis Khan
nccamsc - You obviously don't know what you're talking about. The reason they didn't invade India is because the Indians were already really pissed about being beat by the cowboys in the USA and had acquired guns by that time. So the Mongols knew 1. the Indians would be very angry and 2. the Indians by then had superior weapons. Learn your history idiot!
Unlike the Greeks (Alexander\Sikandar) and Mongols who tried to fight head on , the Mughals and the British controlled India through political tactics. They strategically manipulated Hindu kings, fostering conflicts for their benefit. Although no one power could conquer Indian king's armies directly, rulers' pride caused the downfall of a once-prosperous land. This manipulation and internal strife diminished India's wealth and influence. This spanned from the Mughal era (1526-1857) to British colonial rule (1858-1947), shaping India's history.
The terrain was completely different from the plains of Mongolia, China, Central Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe. Same reason why all their attempts to conquer Vietnam were disastrous.
@@ALC0A021 I think the video covers the other big reasons why Genghis Khan didn't go further south. Genghis Khan had beaten the Khwarezmian army for good in the Battle of the Indus in 1221 and was settling affairs in modern day Afghanistan. But the Western Xia were not meeting its commitments to the Mongol Empire and Genghis Khan went right back to China with vengeance. This was a threat much closer to home.
@@ALC0A021learn some history because ghazni and taimur were based nearer in central Asia nearer to south Asia and they could use the Khyber pass to go back and forth
Tbh , chengiz Khan was a kinda guy who really battled Outta revenge , if you guys read his life , He always seeked vengeance , and he really didn't needed to invade India and he really didn't wanna invade India
Not true. He conquered lots of lands just because he wanted to. He couldn't invade India because of the Sultan of Delhi at the time. The Mamluks of Egypt also faced the Mongols very well.
Although mongols avoided conquering India for climatic reasons, Alexander's case is not hte same, the fact of the matter is, Alexander faced the most humiliating and bitter defeat in the hands of King Porus despite having more than twice the strength of soilders in number. Had even his horse killed and his life spared at the edge of the King Porus' javlin. The ones who were documenting it decided not to write this down in the fear of death. Here's the true account. According to the Roman historian Marcus Justinus, the battle was savagely fought. Puru challenged Alexander, who charged him on horseback. In the ensuing duel, Alexander fell off his horse and was at the mercy of the Indian king’s spear (and this is where legend meets history) when Puru perhaps remembered his promise to his sister (probably a Trojan horse sent in by the Greeks). He spared the Macedonian’s life, and Alexander’s bodyguards quickly carried off their king. The Greeks may claim victory but if Alexander’s troops were so badly mauled by the petty regional fiefdoms, how could they have crushed the comparatively stronger army of Puru ? According to Budge, in the Battle of Hydaspes, the Indians destroyed the majority of Alexander’s cavalry. Realising that if he were to continue fighting he would be completely ruined, the Macedonian requested Puru to stop fighting.
In case, anyone wants to read more... The only reference in Arrian’s history to a victory celebration by Alexander’s army was after the battle with Porus. Alexander’s army did not indulge in celebrations after the Battle of Gaugamela where they defeated 200,000 Persians. No wild festivities were announced after the Battle of Issus where they defeated a mixed force of Persian cavalry and Greek mercenaries. The fact they celebrated after the Battle of Hydaspes suggests they considered themselves extremely lucky to survive after the clash with the Hindu army, with its elephant corps. According to the Greeks, Alexander was apparently so impressed by Porus that he gave back his kingdom plus the territories of king Ambhi of Taxila who had fought alongside the Macedonians. This is counterintuitive. Ambhi had become Alexander’s ally on the condition he would be given Porus’ kingdom. So why reward the enemy, whose army had just mauled the Macedonians ? The only possible answer is at the Battle of Hydaspes, the Macedonians realised they were dealing with an enemy of uncommon valour. Sensing defeat they called for a truce, which Porus accepted. The Indian king struck a bargain in return for Ambhi’s territories, which would secure his frontiers, Porus would assist the Macedonians in leaving India safely. Alexander’s post-Hydaspes charitable behaviour, as per Greek accounts, is uncharacteristic and unlikely. For, in battles before and after, he massacred everyone in the cities he subdued. Description of the War: The Greek force, after having lost several thousand soldiers fighting much smaller Indian mountain cities, were terrified at the prospect of fighting the Paurava army.
@@Lucy-LosAngeles this is just all yapping nonsense every single source that wrote about the battle said clearly a macedonian victory, in Arrians account Alexander took a portion of his army (his best men) to cross the river whiles the rest held the other side incase the indians tried to counter attack, from here alexander wiped porus cavalry sent the elephants running back against porus own men then incirculed the porus who was captured later. all accounts agree to this exact detail and even say his horse buecephlous died of old age monthes before the battle and Alexander got a new horse. as for justinus i have failed to find any reference of defeat or dual, and yet you picked a source written well over 500 years apart from his death. the more relieble sources which is collected by Arrian have were contempary to the battle, and Arrians sources being the most releible source of Alexander whilest the justinius and curtus a romance, of which netheir ever said defeat Alexander. as for his mercy of indian cities Alexander throughout his campaigns showed mercy and no mercy, to cities that surrendered he would not hurt a single person, a city that fell he made a example of especially thebes and tyre. and a land lot of indian cities surrendered and some did not and thos got massecered. as for celebration u clearly dont do research as in every battle Alexabder always celebrated with massive drinks feast games and plunder, examples would be the feast and plunder of Darius camp at Issus or the mass drinkings and plunder in Babylon, Susa and perspepolis. as for re instating the ruler porus into his same empire is a very common thing a conqueror would do, many of the surrendered persian Satraps were still governers but only bend the knee to Alexander , throughtout history this has been done, a famous case being prithviraj chauhan being re instated after his defeat in Tarian, this was done by Ghor to have some popularity under new management but Chauhan rebelled and got killed this is proved by more supperior persian sources and coinage. and same again by mongols who allowed the samw defeates muslims to govern under management. and if Alexander was defeated why didnt he go the same route as he got into india, all of a sudden he went south the indus conquering millans, multan, pattala and karachi and also the indian city of sagala, if he was defeated how did he conquer these lands after the defeat? no becuase he won the battle conquered even more land, even hindu jain sources say Chandragupta liberated the indians in sagala indus taxila and multan fron the greeks. and finally the indians sources are terrible very unrelieble most sources rhat descibe chandragupta was written more then 900 years after, whilest supperior greek sources contempary to chandragupta describe him as a cunning leader who planned the successfull hindu revolt against the greeks then massicered them and then on conquering all of india. indians sources also never even corrobate with each other very well nor with the archealogical evidence. and finallt there were many coins depicting alexsnder victory over porus of him chasing a elephant.
The excessive hot climate. They would raid in winters and go back. Even many of Baburs troops and a few generals left after his victories in India for the same reason.
@@pratikrana7684not cooler but definitely not as humid and disease prone. And loo winds would have been a cherry on top. Mongol horses would have dropped dead like flies.
by the fifth time the Mongols were massacred in huge amount which forced them from invading India forever, but there were times when Mongol conquered North of India but then pushed back by the Delhi Sultanate
@@thegodofthegods1084 North India is much more hotter than Southern China. In addition if you have to invade a place which can wipe you out, you need to have a strong motivation which was absent in the case of India.
The term "Mughal" comes from a mispronunciation of the word "Mongol," but the Mughals of India were mostly ethnic Turks not Mongolians. However, Barbur (1483-1530), the first Mughal emperor, could trace his blood line back to Chinggis Khan.
Babur only made claim that his mother came from family of Chengiz khan. At those times whoever was from the family of Chengiz khan was conaidered to be respected in society. Babur was timurid , and was a turk, and all in the history they never used word mughal for their dynasty. It is only the british hitorians that started uaing word mughal for them.
Alauddin's forces, led by Ulugh Khan, defeated the Mongols on 6 February 1298. According to Amir Khusrow, 20,000 Mongols were killed in the battle, and many more were killed in Delhi after being brought there as prisoners.
@@cd5433 sure the typhoon help but the mongols landed on japanese soil and engage the samurai in couple of land battles, they won couple of battles earlier against the samurai with some losses until the samurai won later engagements against the mongols and in one battle kill 3500 mongols with just 100 samurai killed, after this the mongols decided to withdraw knowing they now facing real samurai's unlike few samurai's they encounter during there landing offensive.
@@shahrulamar5358 yeah and heavy losses they suffer during the landings, stop believe chinese propaganda saying typhoon save japan, yeah it did so did the samurai that inflict heavy losses on the mongols that landed, why didnt the mongols relaunch another invasion yrs later then, they can avoid the typhoon season and just invade japan again, instead they never return.
another reason the DElhi sultanate was formidable against the Mongols because they both used horse archers and almost same tactics, the advantage of mobility the mongols had against the heavily armoured europeans were neutralised
Wrong reason , mongols and Chengiz khan could easily invde India from east. If they can reach upto egypt and Poland which is very harsh and deserted area, then why not India which had plenty of reaouceswhich can sustain any army in the world. They had Tibet and china upto thailand. The reason is simple they dont want to Invade India because it was the birthplace and land of Buddha because they follow buddhism. They dont want to kill Indians. Otherwise no king at that time could even stand a chance against Chengiz Khan, he us by far the greatest conqurer in history. Western and islamic historians present Chengiz khan as evil and genocider. But infact he was very religiously tolerant and he only invaded other countries out of provocation. Westerners and islamic people hate Chengiz because he invaded their lands and conquer them.
So correct. The success of the Mongols were their novelty and Turkic people had similar tactics so they knew how to counter them. He failed to mention Alludeen Khilji who famously defeated Mongols many times.

They sport Tridents. You simply can't dismiss a point of view.
Later his sons attacked india 5 times near multan region and in delhi. That time delhi was ruled by khilji dynasty and they especially alaudin khilji repelled them 5 times.. 3 times as military general and then twice as king.. khilji dynasty made a guarded fort in delhi called siri fort which spread over miles, against Mongol invasions.
Over the next few years, Alauddin successfully fended off the Mongol invasions from the Chagatai Khanate, at Jaran-Manjur (1297-1298), Sivistan (1298), Kili (1299), Delhi (1303), and Amroha (1305). In 1306, his forces achieved a decisive victory against the Mongols near the Ravi riverbank, and later ransacked the Mongol territories in present-day Afghanistan. The military commanders that successfully led his army against the Mongols include Zafar Khan, Ulugh Khan, and his slave-general Malik Kafur Source: Wikipedia
Correction: The Mongols did attack India twice during the rule of Alauddin Khilji, and got defeated badly. The Siri Fort in Delhi is named so for a reason.
By a the time the option to invade India came along the Mongols were no longer united and had went through several Coups/civil wars. By the time the situation stabilized somewhat the Khan was only nominally the ruler of what you see on the map as the Mongol Empire. There were multiple power bases at that point and the conquest phase was essentially over…
I am Indian who has lived in Mongolia for quite some time . From my experience, I saw a remarkable similarity between our cultures and made friends with a lot of locals . Heard many stories about Genghis which the western historians do not register in their history books but it is known that way in Mongolia for thousands of years being passed down from ancestors. They said Genghis did not invade India because they regarded and still do regard India as the land of Gods , the birthplace of the Buddha . Genghis did not want blood to be shed on Indian soil .
@pawan4072 in a way it was. Till he was in Nepal, he was Siddharta, not Buddha. Upon attaining enlightenment in India, he became Buddha. So in that sense, India really is the birth place of Buddha, and ofcourse Buddhism.
The mongols horses would not have been a match for Indian elephants. Alexander the Great fought to a draw with an Indian army that was using elephants. He final decided that they made better allies and made a truce with them. I’m not sure if they were still fighting with elephants at the time of the Mogols but that would be an interesting matchup.
Indian stop using elephant in 16 to 18 century. Since Indian lack technology against guns and canon and other powder Material. That's why European were able to conqueror it. Because of lack technology
Alexanders experienced warriors faced so much difficulties and faced their toughest battles against the Indians, so tough were the battles that Alexanders men were low on morale after the battle against Porus and were reluctant to push forward inwards in to India
You're delusional. Alexander The Great beat that 7 feet tall Indian King fair and square. The mighty war machine of dedicated and disciplined Macedonians were a fight to many for unprofesional army of Indian King. They eat the dust even in the heavy rain season in battlefield. Out of pity, Alexander The Great reappoint the Indian King to his throne once again. He knows that India continent is too easy for him. Even the veterans of Macedonian army acknowledged that to return to their homeland is much more better than to continue fighting a rag tags of a weak army of Indian with so many petty kings and regional Lords. Understanding this, Alexander and his army bade farewell to India.
@kevinsabharwal1822 False. Armored elephants become soo terrified and panicked by gun powder explosion so they trampled the their own foot soldiers and cavalry, a big reason for indian defeat to mughals.This battle scene is written in history books. Mughals (mongols) used this tactic of scaring elephants soo successful.

Yeah, those who messed up with Han Chinese normally paid with their future generations - the Mongols, the XiongNu/Huns, the Manchu's, ... Their kids are learning Han Chinese as their official language in school these days. Or maybe that's what they want? Who knows.
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.
It's simple, Watson. Malaria and dysentery were the reason Greeks and Mogols couldn't go into India, in fact Alexander the Great died of malaria he had gotten infected when he reached India.
@@merrick6484 Imagine 13 century and see how you can face a powerful enemy soon after you fight two consecutive battles at the cost of heavy losses. Secondly, you will face harsh weather not suitable to your troops who are not familiar with hot and humid weather accompanied by deadly mosquetos. Mongols came from a cold areas and were not able to survive is extreme heat. They could not chase Khawarzim Shah in India and later mongol invaded India and were defeated by Balban. They kept on invading India after they reconvered from defeats after defeats. No doubt they were successful against Europe and somehow middle east but soon after the defeat at Ain Jalut their bad time started in middle east also. Another factor for not able to conquer India was that Gengez Khan was chasing Sultan Jalal uddin the son of Khwarzim shah and he tried to capture a part of India but Iltutmish forces intervened and then Gengez Khan left Uch Shareef and Multan and entered Iran in a search of Sultan Jalal uddin. Its was not the wise decision to engage with a strong force of Dehli Sultanat and leave the chase of a weaker enemy who was also wanted by Gengez. Soon Gengez died and his decendent Monke Khan attacked India but was defeated by the forces of Sultan Balban. Balban had a special commando force in his army dedicated for difficult operations. Some sources claim that Balban had around 200000 troops exceeding the mongol overall strength. India was well polulated area and recruiting such a large army was not difficult as many turks and central asians also took refuge in India after Mongol conquered those areas. As a matter of fact India army of 13th century was not only well equipped and larger in size than Mongols but also a formidable force in the entire region commanded by well trained and seasoned commanders. Thats the reason Mongols losts almost all the battles in India. India was the only place where mongols losts their entire army claiming to be as big as 100000 troops which caused innihilation of their fighting capability. Following were the main reasons why mongols lost in India. 1. Hostile weather 2. Better prepared, well equipped and larger forces of enemy 3. Hostile and comlex terrain, suitable for encircling and trapping invaders. 4. Better and modern technology of enemy

You say India is hot and wet and so the mongols and Alexander didn’t invade it but they both invaded Egypt and the Levant. Are you trying to say Egypt is cold and dry? That’s some mental gymnastics buddy.
Look all I understand is this, if India is together, be it Alexander or Chengiz Khan, they all decide to go back rather than fighting. The moment it breaks up into 50 different kingdoms, it is easy to play one against another and take over India without much fighting. Happened with Delhi Sultanate, Mughals and the British. Currently, I would say India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan all has same world view. All of these are economically integrated, and we soon might have a common armed force. Pakistan and Afghanistan are states that need to be fixed but that would take a long time. I love the recent Agnipath Scheme of the Indian govt. Teenagers will be recruited, trained in warfare, serve the country for 4 years, get great amount of money for their service, the top 25% stay back with the armed forces and then rest is released back into the society. Over decades, it would create a society of disciplined warriors who know how to fight, kill and would have contact with the armed forces high command in case they need coordination to complete a task when in society. That would be another line of defense of 1.4 billion people that would save the state in case all defense mechanisms collapse.
The British did it through manipulation and flattering the the Indian Raj's. Then they put on a false front of ultimate power when in reality they could have been expelled from India at any time if the Indian population had good leadership. The problem is by the time the British came along the Indian leaders were lazy, corrupted and overindulgent. The people were hopeless. They had no motivation to take back their country.
both mughals and british ruled india by politics.....making hindu kings fight each other and taking advantage of situation.......directly no one had the power to defeat indian king armies......but ego of kings had drown the richest land into the drain.
If Alexander and Mongols didn't invade India because of the heat. Then why did they Invade and Conquer and even ruled, Middle East, Baghdad, Syria which are desert lands with much more scorching heat than India. That means this theory has no basis. The simple fact of the matter is they both Invaded India and couldn't conquer it. The Mongols invaded India 4 times and lost all times. Alexander didn't want to mess with the mighty army of the Nandas, which had 10,000 war elephants in 350BCE, so he turned back and left. Simple as that.

Unlike Central Asia & Western Europe, which had steppe grasslands , ideal for Mongolian cavalry, indian terrain was mostly huge rivers and forests. Significant more dangerous wildlife & a very very large population to subjugate. The Mongol cavalry in the north indian gangetic plains , with its alluvial soil & forests, becomes quite useless against an army with war elephants. Genghis knew , he would be sucked in to endless conflicts in extreme heat + a mammoth monsoon season which would have made a cavalry charge useless on muddy lands. He was smart, he calculated his odds & refrained from attacking. Although in later years some of his descendants would try, but its still practically impossible for a cavalry specific army to conquer india. India was only conquered when Canons came in to picture.
First the fucking hard climb over the mountains, the Mongols grew up on horseback so they could hardly walk or climb, then even if they got over the mountains, the heat, humidity and mosquitos with malaria finished them off
Turkish government in Delhi sultanate, New mongol tactics, weapons, because after 12.20ce when jallaludin khawrizmi jumped into the indus river, jehangaiz Khan said if his father was half as brave, his country would be fine, hundreds thousands refugees came to Northern India, including army veterans, these we're the people saved India plus great Delhi sultanate leaders, they defeated the mongols 5 times, biggest battle outside Delhi 90,000 mongols we're definitely beaten 12.90's by their brilliant commander Zafer shah.
Extremely Wrong, These Sultantes in India had Persian as the court language which clearly indicates There was not Turkish association as these people came from Persia not Turkey, they were called Turks because they are the same alchon Huns who were Buddhist before, similarly no record tells about Turkish soldiers moving in India when the Sultanate armies was comprised in huge numbers of Indians only so no Turkish methods, weapon etc was used here it was either Persian weapon and techniques and Indian soldiers fighting for India, and after just 80-95 years we see Sultanates being thrown over by Rajputs and Vijaynagara in India
The climate argument never made sense for me because you mean to tell me the mongols were scared of the heat of India meanwhile they conquered the deserts of Middle East?😑
I must congratulation y o u for explaining the whole Mongal Empire in such a short time of explanation my name is Bhagirath Singh and I am very much fascinated about the theories you have put forward being local to north India and having abundant knowledge of its history I must say I am impressed no historian of European Heritage or American heritage had so clear understanding of Mongal Empire and its relationship with North India but I must connect you on 1 misconception of religions you have actually in the 12th century when changes Khan was alive Buddhism and Hinduism were not to different religions even now Lord Gautam Buddha founder of current Buddhist religious architecture was considered as an avatar of Maha Vishnu. When Genghis Khan was alive the only real reason that he never invaded India was because of his religious moral s which prevented him to attack India after conquering Tibet as any ardent student of Buddhism with respect to Lord Gautam Buddha and his predecessors he considered India as a holy land and that was the only clear reason that superstitious Emperor Changers Khan who fought Wars after confirming with religious Mystic people of many different countries and many different states 12 century world particularly Asia was not the same as it is now influence of India was just not for wealth as is a misconception of British historians it was very clear to Genghis Khan the martial spirit of Aryans who dominated at that time it doesn't matter that the capital Delhi was ruled over by pre Islamic rulers but due to the fear of soldiers and army generals were of local regions as India was famous for its wealth for its culture for its religious values for its trade values even in 12 century India had the most mightest Army world had ever seen.
Because delhi sultanate were turkic hence they were unable to beat with existing tactics , because delhi sultanate were using the same, as well as rajput were descendants of turkic tribe (pre 10th C).
Lovely video, i would highly recommend everyone to play Age of Empires IV where u can relive these moments 😃 there are Delhi Sultanate and Mongol as playable factions too 😁👍
Most of accounts of the Great Khan are written by his enemies, thereby it is obvious that he would be depicted as a bloody and gore loving ruler. Most other rulers he was fighting were equally violent in their approach though not depicted such. Almost all of his campaigns were lead as a result of a necessity to protect Mongol ruler legitimacy or as a retaliation. Therefore he had no reason to fight the Indian kings. Technical problems like bows not working or horses not being suitable can be easily overcome by using local materials and training and recruiting locally (which was done throughout history).
🤣Reminds me of the muskovites. Most peaceful group, never started a war, everyone else despises them so unjustly, somehow ended up controlling the largest territory and still hungry for more.
Mongols have tremendous respect for Indian Sanatan culture. They call it the "Land of Gods". They had problem with Chinese and Abrahmic people and that's why they fought with them. This is the reality of why they didn't attack India despite the presence of muslim invaders here.
North side sultan empire, south chola empire available. If mongals entered, sure , they will not go back. Unfortunately if came to south, if although got victory, going back return cannot, before going return need to lose all troops. Chola had more 1 lakh troops, more than 10000 elephant foces, more than 25000 horse foces, paw forces, spear forces.

Genghis Khan control over an Empire which shared borders with Europe and let me tell you when Europeans were living in forest in old tribal fashion where has India was far more advance then them when European kingdoms began to emerge and particularly when they learn and created their languages my ancestors used to travel on chariots while they started to hunt animals for food at the same time agriculture was the primary work of North Indians and I am not talking about Garden farming I am talking about the techniques and Technology my uncestors developed made made agriculture very very easy for them. When these Europeans dressed themselves in animal skins and at the same time people of India were wearing very high quality clothing which was made from cotton wool and Silk why else do you think India was invaded many many times starting from its neighbours and up to British rule what do you think they wanted for what they tried over and over to conquer India Forever

Only the "Faux-Timor" or Tamerlane entered India with evil intent. He was a native Afghan Muslim with no Mongol blood. However, he knew the difference Indian and Turks (he had been fighting Turks all his life). He attacked only the occupying Turks and only in Delhi to stop them from financing Turkey Turks, Iranian Turks and Afghan Turks.
Total rubbish - you Hindus want to re-write history in fictional terms due mainly to your very obvious hatred of Muslims who gave India civilised behaviour. The Mongols were defeated by the Turkic sultans of India thus saving the heathen Hindus from very obvious extermination.
It was not the omen but the overall knowledge of the land and his contacts with the people. The main reason was the climate and religion. Ghenghis was an extremely intelligent worrier and not just what some foreign historians like to suggest.

@@techessentials4105 Half knowledge is dangerous 😂😂😂😂 Genghis Khan refused to invade India But Halaku Khan did and got defeated miserably by Alauddin Khilji aka the saviour of India. But you people of hindutva ideology will always disrespect him That’s the main point behind your whole story.
Gengez was wise enough to refrain from attacking India, as he did not have enough strength to do at that time. Later his desendents made this mistake and lost all what they had after suffering crushing defeats when mongol generals were brought to Dehli and crushed under the feets of elephants. This was utter humiliation for mongols for being disrespected and dishonored this way by Sultan of Dehli. Indian kings defeated mongols in two main battles which broke mongols' back and they never recovered after these humiliating defeats, battle of Killi and Balltle of Amroha. These two battles proved to be devastating for mongols as their main commanders were captured during these battles and their complete army was killed. Some accounts claim that an army of 100000 of mongols was killed and 22000 were made slaves. One can see a place called mughalpura in New Dehli where these mongol slaves were kept who later converted to Islam. Attacking Egypt and India proved to be bad omen for mongols. Muslim sources claim that mongols downfall started soon after they attacked Baghdad and desecrated Calif as he was a religious head of Muslim around the world. Even some fortune telling people warned Halaku Khan not to invade capital of Muslim Calif as it may cause downfall of his empire. Coincidentally soon after Halaku destroyed Baghdad, he died miserably after falling from his horse back, after his death, his drsendents could not save their state, even their religion and culture were lost. They lost everything after destruction of Baghdad.
@@lakshyaphogat7388 How am I wrong? Read the history and see yourself how mongols lost everything. If you dont believe me go and see the areas which were conquered by Mongols, you will not find a single mongol there. A tiny minority left here accepted Islam as they had no other choice. Mongols attacks numerous times during Sultan Balban, Sultan Khilji and later also but could not conquer India instead they lost their territory to Indian kings/Sultans. Let me share few facts which you can verify other than whats written in books. 1. Do you deny any settlement called Mughalpura in Deli India? 2. Do you deny Hazara people who are living in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hazara are desendents of Mongols, one can clearly see their mongoloid features. 3. Do you deny the fact that there is no Budhist ot Shanist in Pakistan, Afganistan, Iran, Turkey, Iraq and Syria? These were part of Mongol empire for very long time. 4. Do you deny the fact thar Halaku died in humiliation and his descendants could not save empire and their religion. They are insignificant now? No onr know if Mongolia is a country? They are confined to a rag tag country and cannot assert their influence anymore.
In south and mid india the great tamilian zchola kings Rajan and Rajendra cholan had big armies with brave soldiers. This is why south india was protected much
Bro , During time of Mongol invasions Cholas were weak, already past their glory days. The Kakatiyas were significant force during 1200's and same can be said regarding Hoyasalas of 11th century (1200's). Get ur facts correct .
So we are all simply gonna ignore that Genghis's descendant Aamir Taimur Lang did actually manage to successfully invade India at the advent of the Sayyed Dynasty? or the fact that the Mughals had Mongol ancestry?
The Mongols is a collective name given to various nomadic people of central Asia. The Turks were one of these people who were prized warriors in the middle east. The Mongols triggered mass migrations of Turkic people into the middle east, serving as slave soldiers initially, then rebelling and founding their own dynasties. The Turks were one of the people who could be called Mongols as well. They founded the memluk empire in Egypt, the ottoman empire in Anatolia, and the sultanate of Delhi in India, which later became the Mughal empire under other dynasties. The difference between Turks and other Mongol peoples was that Turks were highly islamized and adopted all customs and cultures of the middle east, while the Mongols just pillaged and plundered. Basically, the Mongols invaded India before Genghis khan was even born.
I wonder about the genetic influence of the different horse breeds that they would have come in contact with and how that would’ve affected their Mongol Horses because obviously they had to trade mounts and have fresh mounds constantly that they’re there Horses at some given point would’ve worn out and they would’ve been taking whatever they wanted from wherever they were and now I’m wondering if if some of those bloodlines would’ve went back to the horses that are currently in Mongolia just food for thought

Mongols did conquer India... They were called Mughals... And the first emperor was called Babur who was a direct descendant of BOTH Genghis Khan aswell as Timur(Tamerlane). Also, the himalayas prevented the east Asians from taking India.... Nearly all Invasions of India were done from the North West... Khyber pass... Meaning modern day Pakistan.

After Chingghis Haan, Mongols tried to invade India and failed (smaller Khanates). Mongols - horsemen of the Devil? Delhi's reply - "You know Devil? I AM the Devil. And, you will call me Ala-ud-din Khilji!"
A thing peeps seems to overlook is the fact that Ghengis and Kublai Khan only attacked peeps who had betrayed them. They had no reaso to attack India cus they played it clean
Everyone attacked India and killed millions of Hindus... Mangols, Arabs, Romans, British, French, Portuguese and many more. But India still stands tall today. Hindus may be the only religion (which is actually a wrong word), which never attacked anyone outside India. That is because the Hindu Philosophy of peace and well-being of the whole world. I am sure in coming few years, India will assume this role again on the world stage.
Lack of fighters is a reason why the Mongols didn't attack India. The other reason is India was already controlled by the Turks (Kuru), so Mongols would have to fight their own people. The Third reason was just looting the treasury would do for the task at hand.
India was technically and militarily strong then Mangolia , they had advanced education system, advanced weapons, huge castle and strong and huge standing army and geographic advantages too.
Mamuluks were non-Arab, ethnically diverse (mostly Turkic, Caucasian, Eastern and Southeastern European. Mumuluks were diverse and mostly from temprate climate mogols lived in much more cold and harsh climate.
Still, it was the Arabs of Palestine who halted the Mongol army, they tried to take Gaza and other Palestinian cities but they failed miserably, they were chased out to Ain Jalut 200 km north of Gaza where the army from Egypt managed to finish them off
Armored elephants; shit everywhere; macaques creeped out the Mongols; Indians are totally chill unless majorly provoked and the Mongol barbs, quips, and insults could not piss off the Indians enough to fight which left the Mongols totally confused so they travelled north and went after the easily provokable Pollocks.
Not only climate the mangol invation came to knoe of great empires of india those years. Dpecially that time great empires from south like chola Rajaraja and his son Rajendra cholaof Tamil land land were ruling much of i.dia . Also the rlephants in the armies were a great threat in fighting these huge animals ans solders on them with arms

Ghenghis Khan had trade relations with India and was sure that he will face heavy loss directly fighting Delhi Sultanate's well organized and well equipped massive army. He was afraid.
On the way the Mongols passed from ruderealis to sativa to indica. Once Chitral was reached... the desire to kill, no doubt, became resolutely less and less intense as they reached lndia. The lndians were accustomed, and though they would not attack first, they were determined to fight off invaders.
Mongol army was largely based on horses. That requires alot of feeding, so need to stay where grass is plentiful. Napolean had same issues with his caverly at waterloo. They were spreadout prior to battle so the horses could feed, and had to travel upto 20kms to the battle on the day to get to it.
I'm not sure if it was a different breed of horse or ponies but unlike the European horses the Mongolian horses/ponies could dig roots with their hooves for consumption and they had a wide range of leaves, bushes and grass in their diet that is why they could conquer the lands over 3 continents, so the example of Napoleon is wrong because you can compare him with Genghis Khan
Central Asian Horses Surely not Used to the Warm Tropical Humid Indian weather
Then explain how the Mongols easily crossed the Gobi desert and captured Tibet, neither of where there are grasslands.
nccamsc - You obviously don't know what you're talking about. The reason they didn't invade India is because the Indians were already really pissed about being beat by the cowboys in the USA and had acquired guns by that time. So the Mongols knew 1. the Indians would be very angry and 2. the Indians by then had superior weapons. Learn your history idiot!

@@yafayafa9601 go and learn his life history
Although mongols avoided conquering India for climatic reasons, Alexander's case is not hte same, the fact of the matter is, Alexander faced the most humiliating and bitter defeat in the hands of King Porus despite having more than twice the strength of soilders in number. Had even his horse killed and his life spared at the edge of the King Porus' javlin.
The ones who were documenting it decided not to write this down in the fear of death.
Here's the true account.
According to the Roman historian Marcus Justinus, the battle was savagely fought. Puru challenged Alexander, who charged him on horseback. In the ensuing duel, Alexander fell off his horse and was at the mercy of the Indian king’s spear (and this is where legend meets history) when Puru perhaps remembered his promise to his sister (probably a Trojan horse sent in by the Greeks).
He spared the Macedonian’s life, and Alexander’s bodyguards quickly carried off their king. The Greeks may claim victory but if Alexander’s troops were so badly mauled by the petty regional fiefdoms, how could they have crushed the comparatively stronger army of Puru ?
According to Budge, in the Battle of Hydaspes, the Indians destroyed the majority of Alexander’s cavalry. Realising that if he were to continue fighting he would be completely ruined, the Macedonian requested Puru to stop fighting.
In case, anyone wants to read more...
The only reference in Arrian’s history to a victory celebration by Alexander’s army was after the battle with Porus.
Alexander’s army did not indulge in celebrations after the Battle of Gaugamela where they defeated 200,000 Persians. No wild festivities were announced after the Battle of Issus where they defeated a mixed force of Persian cavalry and Greek mercenaries.
The fact they celebrated after the Battle of Hydaspes suggests they considered themselves extremely lucky to survive after the clash with the Hindu army, with its elephant corps.
According to the Greeks, Alexander was apparently so impressed by Porus that he gave back his kingdom plus the territories of king Ambhi of Taxila who had fought alongside the Macedonians.
This is counterintuitive. Ambhi had become Alexander’s ally on the condition he would be given Porus’ kingdom. So why reward the enemy, whose army had just mauled the Macedonians ?
The only possible answer is at the Battle of Hydaspes, the Macedonians realised they were dealing with an enemy of uncommon valour. Sensing defeat they called for a truce, which Porus accepted.
The Indian king struck a bargain in return for Ambhi’s territories, which would secure his frontiers, Porus would assist the Macedonians in leaving India safely. Alexander’s post-Hydaspes charitable behaviour, as per Greek accounts, is uncharacteristic and unlikely.
For, in battles before and after, he massacred everyone in the cities he subdued. Description of the War: The Greek force, after having lost several thousand soldiers fighting much smaller Indian mountain cities, were terrified at the prospect of fighting the Paurava army.
@@Lucy-LosAngeles this is just all yapping nonsense every single source that wrote about the battle said clearly a macedonian victory, in Arrians account Alexander took a portion of his army (his best men) to cross the river whiles the rest held the other side incase the indians tried to counter attack, from here alexander wiped porus cavalry sent the elephants running back against porus own men then incirculed the porus who was captured later. all accounts agree to this exact detail and even say his horse buecephlous died of old age monthes before the battle and Alexander got a new horse. as for justinus i have failed to find any reference of defeat or dual, and yet you picked a source written well over 500 years apart from his death. the more relieble sources which is collected by Arrian have were contempary to the battle, and Arrians sources being the most releible source of Alexander whilest the justinius and curtus a romance, of which netheir ever said defeat Alexander. as for his mercy of indian cities Alexander throughout his campaigns showed mercy and no mercy, to cities that surrendered he would not hurt a single person, a city that fell he made a example of especially thebes and tyre. and a land lot of indian cities surrendered and some did not and thos got massecered.
as for celebration u clearly dont do research as in every battle Alexabder always celebrated with massive drinks feast games and plunder, examples would be the feast and plunder of Darius camp at Issus or the mass drinkings and plunder in Babylon, Susa and perspepolis. as for re instating the ruler porus into his same empire is a very common thing a conqueror would do, many of the surrendered persian Satraps were still governers but only bend the knee to Alexander , throughtout history this has been done, a famous case being prithviraj chauhan being re instated after his defeat in Tarian, this was done by Ghor to have some popularity under new management but Chauhan rebelled and got killed this is proved by more supperior persian sources and coinage. and same again by mongols who allowed the samw defeates muslims to govern under management. and if Alexander was defeated why didnt he go the same route as he got into india, all of a sudden he went south the indus conquering millans, multan, pattala and karachi and also the indian city of sagala, if he was defeated how did he conquer these lands after the defeat? no becuase he won the battle conquered even more land, even hindu jain sources say Chandragupta liberated the indians in sagala indus taxila and multan fron the greeks. and finally the indians sources are terrible very unrelieble most sources rhat descibe chandragupta was written more then 900 years after, whilest supperior greek sources contempary to chandragupta describe him as a cunning leader who planned the successfull hindu revolt against the greeks then massicered them and then on conquering all of india. indians sources also never even corrobate with each other very well nor with the archealogical evidence. and finallt there were many coins depicting alexsnder victory over porus of him chasing a elephant.
The excessive hot climate. They would raid in winters and go back. Even many of Baburs troops and a few generals left after his victories in India for the same reason.
so Egypt and the Arabian peninsula are cooler than northern India?
@@pratikrana7684not cooler but definitely not as humid and disease prone. And loo winds would have been a cherry on top. Mongol horses would have dropped dead like flies.

The term "Mughal" comes from a mispronunciation of the word "Mongol," but the Mughals of India were mostly ethnic Turks not Mongolians. However, Barbur (1483-1530), the first Mughal emperor, could trace his blood line back to Chinggis Khan.

another reason the DElhi sultanate was formidable against the Mongols because they both used horse archers and almost same tactics, the advantage of mobility the mongols had against the heavily armoured europeans were neutralised
Wrong reason , mongols and Chengiz khan could easily invde India from east. If they can reach upto egypt and Poland which is very harsh and deserted area, then why not India which had plenty of reaouceswhich can sustain any army in the world. They had Tibet and china upto thailand.
The reason is simple they dont want to Invade India because it was the birthplace and land of Buddha because they follow buddhism. They dont want to kill Indians. Otherwise no king at that time could even stand a chance against Chengiz Khan, he us by far the greatest conqurer in history.
Western and islamic historians present Chengiz khan as evil and genocider. But infact he was very religiously tolerant and he only invaded other countries out of provocation. Westerners and islamic people hate Chengiz because he invaded their lands and conquer them.

By a the time the option to invade India came along the Mongols were no longer united and had went through several
Coups/civil wars. By the time the situation stabilized somewhat the Khan was only nominally the ruler of what you see on the map as the Mongol Empire. There were multiple power bases at that point and the conquest phase was essentially over…
Correct!
I am Indian who has lived in Mongolia for quite some time . From my experience, I saw a remarkable similarity between our cultures and made friends with a lot of locals . Heard many stories about Genghis which the western historians do not register in their history books but it is known that way in Mongolia for thousands of years being passed down from ancestors.
They said Genghis did not invade India because they regarded and still do regard India as the land of Gods , the birthplace of the Buddha . Genghis did not want blood to be shed on Indian soil .
Buddha was not born in India for your information.
@pawan4072 in a way it was. Till he was in Nepal, he was Siddharta, not Buddha. Upon attaining enlightenment in India, he became Buddha. So in that sense, India really is the birth place of Buddha, and ofcourse Buddhism.
@@pawan4072 you need to update yourself , your logic suggests Subhash Bose was British.
@@MandeepSingh-bv2zw there was no Nepal , at that time .
Genghis khan was a follower of tengrism . so no question of any regard for Buddha.
The correct title should be 'What prevented Ghenghis Khan from invading India' because later Mongols did invade India and were brutally suppressed.
The mongols horses would not have been a match for Indian elephants. Alexander the Great fought to a draw with an Indian army that was using elephants. He final decided that they made better allies and made a truce with them. I’m not sure if they were still fighting with elephants at the time of the Mogols but that would be an interesting matchup.
Indian stop using elephant in 16 to 18 century. Since Indian lack technology against guns and canon and other powder Material. That's why European were able to conqueror it. Because of lack technology
Alexanders experienced warriors faced so much difficulties and faced their toughest battles against the Indians, so tough were the battles that Alexanders men were low on morale after the battle against Porus and were reluctant to push forward inwards in to India
@@BogalaSawundiris I think he was experiencing a variety of problems and he forces were not in the fight anymore, yes. At the end of the road.
@@BogalaSawundiris Alexanders men heard stories about oceans of army waiting for them in mainland India which made them push back
You're delusional.
Alexander The Great beat that 7 feet tall Indian King fair and square. The mighty war machine of dedicated and disciplined Macedonians were a fight to many for unprofesional army of Indian King. They eat the dust even in the heavy rain season in battlefield.
Out of pity, Alexander The Great reappoint the Indian King to his throne once again. He knows that India continent is too easy for him.
Even the veterans of Macedonian army acknowledged that to return to their homeland is much more better than to continue fighting a rag tags of a weak army of Indian with so many petty kings and regional Lords.
Understanding this, Alexander and his army bade farewell to India.
Why are hindus not commenting this time, khilji saved India from horrendous massacre of Indians... very ungrateful bunch
In ancient times cavalry warfare had no chance against armored elephants.
No it's the opposite.
But everyone will get fucked in the combined Indian meat grinding war machine when anyone attacks upfront.
@kevinsabharwal1822 False. Armored elephants become soo terrified and panicked by gun powder explosion so they trampled the their own foot soldiers and cavalry, a big reason for indian defeat to mughals.This battle scene is written in history books. Mughals (mongols) used this tactic of scaring elephants soo successful.
Unlike the Greeks (Alexander\Sikandar) and Mongols who tried to fight head on , the Mughals and the British controlled India through political tactics. They strategically manipulated Hindu kings, fostering conflicts for their benefit. Although no one power could conquer Indian king's armies directly, rulers' pride caused the downfall of a once-prosperous land. This manipulation and internal strife diminished India's wealth and influence. This spanned from the Mughal era (1526-1857) to British colonial rule (1858-1947), shaping India's history.
@@chuluunsugarragchaa6659 no gunpowder at Mongol empire's timeline of invading Persia.

Yeah, those who messed up with Han Chinese normally paid with their future generations - the Mongols, the XiongNu/Huns, the Manchu's, ... Their kids are learning Han Chinese as their official language in school these days. Or maybe that's what they want? Who knows.
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.
You need to have your own channel bro
You've got a point. This is a strong probability.
No, I don‘t think so.
Although they withdrew from India, but they still march on everywhere their horses carries them, non stopped.
It's simple, Watson. Malaria and dysentery were the reason Greeks and Mogols couldn't go into India, in fact Alexander the Great died of malaria he had gotten infected when he reached India.
@@merrick6484 Imagine 13 century and see how you can face a powerful enemy soon after you fight two consecutive battles at the cost of heavy losses. Secondly, you will face harsh weather not suitable to your troops who are not familiar with hot and humid weather accompanied by deadly mosquetos.
Mongols came from a cold areas and were not able to survive is extreme heat.
They could not chase Khawarzim Shah in India and later mongol invaded India and were defeated by Balban. They kept on invading India after they reconvered from defeats after defeats. No doubt they were successful against Europe and somehow middle east but soon after the defeat at Ain Jalut their bad time started in middle east also.
Another factor for not able to conquer India was that Gengez Khan was chasing Sultan Jalal uddin the son of Khwarzim shah and he tried to capture a part of India but Iltutmish forces intervened and then Gengez Khan left Uch Shareef and Multan and entered Iran in a search of Sultan Jalal uddin.
Its was not the wise decision to engage with a strong force of Dehli Sultanat and leave the chase of a weaker enemy who was also wanted by Gengez.
Soon Gengez died and his decendent Monke Khan attacked India but was defeated by the forces of Sultan Balban. Balban had a special commando force in his army dedicated for difficult operations. Some sources claim that Balban had around 200000 troops exceeding the mongol overall strength.
India was well polulated area and recruiting such a large army was not difficult as many turks and central asians also took refuge in India after Mongol conquered those areas.
As a matter of fact India army of 13th century was not only well equipped and larger in size than Mongols but also a formidable force in the entire region commanded by well trained and seasoned commanders. Thats the reason Mongols losts almost all the battles in India. India was the only place where mongols losts their entire army claiming to be as big as 100000 troops which caused innihilation of their fighting capability.
Following were the main reasons why mongols lost in India.
1. Hostile weather
2. Better prepared, well equipped and larger forces of enemy
3. Hostile and comlex terrain, suitable for encircling and trapping invaders.
4. Better and modern technology of enemy

You say India is hot and wet and so the mongols and Alexander didn’t invade it but they both invaded Egypt and the Levant. Are you trying to say Egypt is cold and dry? That’s some mental gymnastics buddy.
Your voice is very clear.Tha nks
Look all I understand is this, if India is together, be it Alexander or Chengiz Khan, they all decide to go back rather than fighting. The moment it breaks up into 50 different kingdoms, it is easy to play one against another and take over India without much fighting. Happened with Delhi Sultanate, Mughals and the British.
Currently, I would say India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan all has same world view. All of these are economically integrated, and we soon might have a common armed force. Pakistan and Afghanistan are states that need to be fixed but that would take a long time.
I love the recent Agnipath Scheme of the Indian govt. Teenagers will be recruited, trained in warfare, serve the country for 4 years, get great amount of money for their service, the top 25% stay back with the armed forces and then rest is released back into the society. Over decades, it would create a society of disciplined warriors who know how to fight, kill and would have contact with the armed forces high command in case they need coordination to complete a task when in society. That would be another line of defense of 1.4 billion people that would save the state in case all defense mechanisms collapse.
The reverence for , and interest in megalomaniacal conquerers and mass murderers never ceases to amaze...
India's dense population and humid climate were probably the main factors. But how did the British do it? 🤔
The British did it through manipulation and flattering the the Indian Raj's. Then they put on a false front of ultimate power when in reality they could have been expelled from India at any time if the Indian population had good leadership. The problem is by the time the British came along the Indian leaders were lazy, corrupted and overindulgent. The people were hopeless. They had no motivation to take back their country.
british invaded from the east they mainly won through diplomacy
both mughals and british ruled india by politics.....making hindu kings fight each other and taking advantage of situation.......directly no one had the power to defeat indian king armies......but ego of kings had drown the richest land into the drain.

If Alexander and Mongols didn't invade India because of the heat. Then why did they Invade and Conquer and even ruled, Middle East, Baghdad, Syria which are desert lands with much more scorching heat than India.
That means this theory has no basis. The simple fact of the matter is they both Invaded India and couldn't conquer it. The Mongols invaded India 4 times and lost all times. Alexander didn't want to mess with the mighty army of the Nandas, which had 10,000 war elephants in 350BCE, so he turned back and left. Simple as that.

Mongolian history is complex. please try to explain these details more clearly, carefully, and slowly.
Unlike Central Asia & Western Europe, which had steppe grasslands , ideal for Mongolian cavalry, indian terrain was mostly huge rivers and forests. Significant more dangerous wildlife & a very very large population to subjugate. The Mongol cavalry in the north indian gangetic plains , with its alluvial soil & forests, becomes quite useless against an army with war elephants. Genghis knew , he would be sucked in to endless conflicts in extreme heat + a mammoth monsoon season which would have made a cavalry charge useless on muddy lands. He was smart, he calculated his odds & refrained from attacking. Although in later years some of his descendants would try, but its still practically impossible for a cavalry specific army to conquer india. India was only conquered when Canons came in to picture.

When Genghis Khan was alive the only real reason that he never invaded India was because of his religious moral s which prevented him to attack India after conquering Tibet as any ardent student of Buddhism with respect to Lord Gautam Buddha and his predecessors he considered India as a holy land and that was the only clear reason that superstitious Emperor Changers Khan who fought Wars after confirming with religious Mystic people of many different countries and many different states 12 century world particularly Asia was not the same as it is now influence of India was just not for wealth as is a misconception of British historians it was very clear to Genghis Khan the martial spirit of Aryans who dominated at that time it doesn't matter that the capital Delhi was ruled over by pre Islamic rulers but due to the fear of soldiers and army generals were of local regions as India was famous for its wealth for its culture for its religious values for its trade values even in 12 century India had the most mightest Army world had ever seen.

Most of accounts of the Great Khan are written by his enemies, thereby it is obvious that he would be depicted as a bloody and gore loving ruler. Most other rulers he was fighting were equally violent in their approach though not depicted such.
Almost all of his campaigns were lead as a result of a necessity to protect Mongol ruler legitimacy or as a retaliation. Therefore he had no reason to fight the Indian kings.
Technical problems like bows not working or horses not being suitable can be easily overcome by using local materials and training and recruiting locally (which was done throughout history).

Mongols tried and were partially successful but defeated badly.
Gengez was wise enough to refrain from attacking India, as he did not have enough strength to do at that time. Later his desendents made this mistake and lost all what they had after suffering crushing defeats when mongol generals were brought to Dehli and crushed under the feets of elephants. This was utter humiliation for mongols for being disrespected and dishonored this way by Sultan of Dehli.
Indian kings defeated mongols in two main battles which broke mongols' back and they never recovered after these humiliating defeats, battle of Killi and Balltle of Amroha. These two battles proved to be devastating for mongols as their main commanders were captured during these battles and their complete army was killed. Some accounts claim that an army of 100000 of mongols was killed and 22000 were made slaves. One can see a place called mughalpura in New Dehli where these mongol slaves were kept who later converted to Islam. Attacking Egypt and India proved to be bad omen for mongols. Muslim sources claim that mongols downfall started soon after they attacked Baghdad and desecrated Calif as he was a religious head of Muslim around the world. Even some fortune telling people warned Halaku Khan not to invade capital of Muslim Calif as it may cause downfall of his empire. Coincidentally soon after Halaku destroyed Baghdad, he died miserably after falling from his horse back, after his death, his drsendents could not save their state, even their religion and culture were lost. They lost everything after destruction of Baghdad.

4. Do you deny the fact thar Halaku died in humiliation and his descendants could not save empire and their religion. They are insignificant now? No onr know if Mongolia is a country? They are confined to a rag tag country and cannot assert their influence anymore.
@@lakshyaphogat7388 Care to elaborate please?
Great info
The real reason is, when the mongols discovered the huge population of bengal tigers within Indian territory! 😂😂😂
Alias cholas😊
In south and mid india the great tamilian zchola kings Rajan and Rajendra cholan had big armies with brave soldiers.
This is why south india was protected much
Bro , During time of Mongol invasions Cholas were weak, already past their glory days. The Kakatiyas were significant force during 1200's and same can be said regarding Hoyasalas of 11th century (1200's). Get ur facts correct .
🤦
Rajarajan was not born when ghengiz Khan invaded India 🤣
@@RazikSulthanyeah he was born way before than that 😂
China is not attacking us today because cholas are very strong..
So we are all simply gonna ignore that Genghis's descendant Aamir Taimur Lang did actually manage to successfully invade India at the advent of the Sayyed Dynasty? or the fact that the Mughals had Mongol ancestry?
The Mongols is a collective name given to various nomadic people of central Asia. The Turks were one of these people who were prized warriors in the middle east. The Mongols triggered mass migrations of Turkic people into the middle east, serving as slave soldiers initially, then rebelling and founding their own dynasties. The Turks were one of the people who could be called Mongols as well. They founded the memluk empire in Egypt, the ottoman empire in Anatolia, and the sultanate of Delhi in India, which later became the Mughal empire under other dynasties. The difference between Turks and other Mongol peoples was that Turks were highly islamized and adopted all customs and cultures of the middle east, while the Mongols just pillaged and plundered. Basically, the Mongols invaded India before Genghis khan was even born.
"india is kinda cute" - gengis khan
I wonder about the genetic influence of the different horse breeds that they would have come in contact with and how that would’ve affected their Mongol Horses because obviously they had to trade mounts and have fresh mounds constantly that they’re there Horses at some given point would’ve worn out and they would’ve been taking whatever they wanted from wherever they were and now I’m wondering if if some of those bloodlines would’ve went back to the horses that are currently in Mongolia just food for thought
Mongol horses are simply some of the most resilient creatures, let alone horses, on earth
Unlike the Greeks (Alexander\Sikandar) and Mongols who tried to fight head on , the Mughals and the British controlled India through political tactics. They strategically manipulated Hindu kings, fostering conflicts for their benefit. Although no one power could conquer Indian king's armies directly, rulers' pride caused the downfall of a once-prosperous land. This manipulation and internal strife diminished India's wealth and influence. This spanned from the Mughal era (1526-1857) to British colonial rule (1858-1947), shaping India's history.
Muslim kings of india were way more powerful & organised at that time and fought mohgols & made them run , khiljis , gakhars & Pathans tribes were major hurdles for mangols , khilji king of india made sure mongols don't make through borders of hindustan . And for that he empowered border tribes with his own forces .
An invader prevented India from another invader 😂 Lol

Ruled from 1206 to 1227 to his death? 21 years?
The delhi sultunate had a lot of hindu warriors who helped delhi sultunate in repelling mongol invasion the intelligence started to come when afganistan suffered from mongol hindu leaders in sultuate army came up with new tactics to defeat mongols but it was a mistake and this lead to extention of delhi sultunate power which was later defeated by hindu kings in series of battles finally ending with abhrahim lodi defeated by hindu leader rana sanga and later he lodi was killed in battle of panipat by babar though rana sanga was defeated by babur hindu kings were free from delhi sultunate babur was later had to return afganistan he and his son could not conquer India. Though akbar grandson of baber establsihed mughal empire who juest fell in 200 year by hand rajput, sikh maratha and southern kings. I have to say though i am muslim hindus showed very stiff resistance to muslim invaders saving their religion and culture.
that's not true. the khilji empire didn't allow any non-muslims to enter their army. what else have you learned in your Whatsapp university?

@@thebestevertherewas that's your fake history. I'm reality hindus never had any kings of their own because they were slaves to foreigners. they only had foreign kings who ruled them. the mongols were repelled by the Afghan /turkic khilji empire, not by the hindus. the Greeks withdrew because of their defeat in Afghanistan. the mughal and british conquered India and ruled it for 450 years. hindus are the weakest and most miserable people in earth
The warlike tribes that preceded them. Like the scythians and Huns.
Mongols did conquer India...
They were called Mughals... And the first emperor was called Babur who was a direct descendant of BOTH Genghis Khan aswell as Timur(Tamerlane).
Also, the himalayas prevented the east Asians from taking India.... Nearly all Invasions of India were done from the North West... Khyber pass... Meaning modern day Pakistan.
this is such cope the mughals and mongols are completely different empires him being a descendant of khan means nothing
@@anbbbe what would u non tribal people know about tribes from central asia😂😂😂🤔
DNA means nothing
Blood means nothing
Legacy means nothing
Names mean nothing
I guess history itself doesn't. Mean anything
@@sabtaingopinath9652 sorry that we civilized people don't know anything about uncivilized tribal people of Mongol.
Yeah if you mean bastards of the women mongols raped in central asia😂
Mughals were not mongols they have ancestry of both mongols and Turks baburs ancestry from his mother side goes back to genghiz Khan in 11 line and his ancestry from fathers side goes back to timur in the 5 line timur was a turco mongol ruler of central Asia thus the ancestor of the Mughals.
After Chingghis Haan, Mongols tried to invade India and failed (smaller Khanates). Mongols - horsemen of the Devil? Delhi's reply - "You know Devil? I AM the Devil. And, you will call me Ala-ud-din Khilji!"
Alauddin khilji seven times slapping on mongol face khilji, be like come on ,slap, slap😂😂👋👋👋💪🤫🤫
At that time mongols were very weak.
Your warlord daddy would've pissed himself if mongols were in their prime, the orginal mongols who aren't Muslim are still great
A thing peeps seems to overlook is the fact that Ghengis and Kublai Khan only attacked peeps who had betrayed them.
They had no reaso to attack India cus they played it clean
Everyone attacked India and killed millions of Hindus... Mangols, Arabs, Romans, British, French, Portuguese and many more. But India still stands tall today. Hindus may be the only religion (which is actually a wrong word), which never attacked anyone outside India. That is because the Hindu Philosophy of peace and well-being of the whole world. I am sure in coming few years, India will assume this role again on the world stage.
in our country we use Mongols as pencils…
Lack of fighters is a reason why the Mongols didn't attack India. The other reason is India was already controlled by the Turks (Kuru), so Mongols would have to fight their own people. The Third reason was just looting the treasury would do for the task at hand.
India was technically and militarily strong then Mangolia , they had advanced education system, advanced weapons, huge castle and strong and huge standing army and geographic advantages too.
Mamuluks were non-Arab, ethnically diverse (mostly Turkic, Caucasian, Eastern and Southeastern European. Mumuluks were diverse and mostly from temprate climate mogols lived in much more cold and harsh climate.
Still, it was the Arabs of Palestine who halted the Mongol army, they tried to take Gaza and other Palestinian cities but they failed miserably, they were chased out to Ain Jalut 200 km north of Gaza where the army from Egypt managed to finish them off
Armored elephants; shit everywhere; macaques creeped out the Mongols; Indians are totally chill unless majorly provoked and the Mongol barbs, quips, and insults could not piss off the Indians enough to fight which left the Mongols totally confused so they travelled north and went after the easily provokable Pollocks.
Not only climate the mangol invation came to knoe of great empires of india those years.
Dpecially that time great empires from south like chola Rajaraja
and his son Rajendra cholaof Tamil land land were ruling much of i.dia . Also the rlephants in the armies were a great threat in fighting these huge animals ans solders on them with arms
This was well after the prime of the Cholas

Chola Empire predates this by a couple 100 years lol
history presented in wrong way .......in reality mongols wanted to invade india but lost in various battles
Ghenghis Khan had trade relations with India and was sure that he will face heavy loss directly fighting Delhi Sultanate's well organized and well equipped massive army. He was afraid.
I believe it was Buddhism and climate that prevented the great Khan from invading north India.
Mongols Were Not Fighting For Economy They Were Fightng For Ego 😮 Gangish khan Was Attacking Them Who was Show him They Unbeaten
He was basically taking revenges
