Nalanda was destroyed by brahmins of samkhya not khilji. All these abrahamic religions born in 600 AD talking clueless nonsense. Buddhism and vedas are far more older. India defended against a small faction of the mongols, these kind of videos usually don't have textual or historical evidence.
One of my pet peeves is the rampant miss use of the word "decimated" by that account the force being discussed was annihilated. Decimation was originally a Roman mass punishment for an entire unit; every tenth man was executed. Decimation now more accurately used would imply a unit took heavy casualties but was still more or less intact as a unit.
Dlso you mean Mongols were annihilated or decimated in India? Sometime they were decimated while others they were annihilated when their commanders were captured and brought to Dehli. Their entire force was annihilated at the battle of Amroha.
At this point in time, it's really a contronym, a word that is its own opposite, like sanction, literal, let, cleave and many other examples. Words can change their meanings over time
You shohld have discussed battle of Amroha also where Mongols were annihilated. The Battle of Amroha was a significant conflict that took place in 1305 in the town of Amroha, located in northern India, during the Delhi Sultanate period. It was fought between the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, led by General Malik Kafur, and the Mongol invaders. Background During the reign of Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316), the Delhi Sultan Alauddin was determined to repel these invasions and secure the northern borders of his sultanate. The Mongols had previously conducted raids into the Delhi Sultanate, which often led to severe losses for both sides. After a recent series of incursions, Alauddin assigned General Malik Kafur and other commanders to launch a decisive defense against the Mongols. The Battle The Mongols, under the leadership of Ali Beg and Tartaq, advanced into the Delhi Sultanate territories and reached Amroha. However, Alauddin's forces, led by prominent generals such as Malik Kafur and Ghazi Malik (later known as Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq), were well-prepared for the confrontation. The Delhi Sultanate army strategically positioned itself and managed to surround the Mongol forces, preventing their escape. The battle was brutal and marked by intense close-quarters combat. The Sultanate's forces decisively defeated the Mongols, capturing and executing many of them. This victory at Amroha was instrumental in weakening Mongol ambitions in the Indian subcontinent and reinforced Alauddin Khilji’s reputation as a powerful ruler capable of defending his realm. The battle highlighted the strategic and military capabilities of the Delhi Sultanate and helped solidify its dominance in the region for years to come.
Indeed Allauddin khilji was the greatest Ruler of India. A great statesman, strategist and he is the father of Indian infrastructure till today.. All National Highways, postal Service and many other developments were implemented and formed by him.. Thanks for this unbiased and true historical video
Its basically lies to glaze over India, at that time there was no such thing as India. They defended against a faction of the chagtai mongols not the entire mongols army. Mongol lost interest in the fleeing muslim king too.
16:33, General Zafar Khan was a Muslim Panjabi. He defeated Mongols who were attacking Panjab and India. Also In Panjab, Bhatti and Khokhar Tribes were constantly Rebelling against the invader Mongols and Tatars invasion of Panjab. Another Prominent Muslim Panjabi General in Dehli Sultanate was Ayn al-Mulk Multani.

After, Adina's death Sikh rose to power and their half army was also comprised of Panjabi Muslims and they defeated Afghans conquered Multan, Kashmir and Peshawar from Afghans. After sikhs, during 1857 war of independence Panjabi Muslims and Sikhs had played huge role in this war against Britishers. Their were people from Arain, Jutt, Rajput, and other clans of Panjabi origin who had fought foreigners during different times.
great job on the video, really loved the detailed animations! but honestly, i think the portrayal of India's defenses might be a bit oversimplified. while the resistance was impressive, there were also significant internal divisions at that time that complicate the narrative. what do you guys think?

Alauddin Khaliji famous Afghan warlord of medieval times with his massive empire which stretched throughout the Indian Subcontinent. He was an Afghan who came from the infamous Ghilzai tribe of Pashtuns and at the time of his reign was denounced by Turkic people and labeled as an Afghan (for all of the pan Turk crybabies) he came from the same tribe as Mirwais Hotak, founder of the Hotak dynasty which conquered most of Iran and even defeated the Ottomans, considered by many as the Grandfather “nika” of Afghanistan. Other legendary ruler from this tribe were Sher Shah Suri who formed the Suri empire and Ibrahim Lodhi the founder of Lodhi dynasty, one of the many dynasties of the delhi sultanate.

All that knowledge of Mongol tactics did not prevent the Mongols from using their favorite tactic successfully. What really won the battle was that the Mongols lost confidence when they saw how difficult it was to just beat one of the armies and knew that the tactic would not work any more. This underscores the value of bravery but more importantly that discipline is the paramount attribute as if the orders were followed casualties would have been much less.
Delhi empire was really an indian empire (saw some comments against ). Being muslims dosent mean they were not indians. Capital was delhi, rulling population were indians, taxpayers were indians, much of army contains indians(hindus, muslims alike), married to indian prince and princess. rise of indo-islamic art and architecture.
Come on - let's stop re inventing things. The Dehli Sultanate were Turkic rulers who were also invaders. They ruled the natives. These Turks limited the Mongols. Where are the Indians you are talking about. Just accept facts as they are. You can't re invent what you want. You can celebrate the Turkish victory over the Mongol victory if you want - both armies had a great number of Central Asian Turkic warriors. There was no "India" then so what "Indian" army ? Listen to the names of the leaders of the armies of the so called Indians who are in fact ruling Turks who were invaders themselves.
The Delhi Sultans primarily considered themselves Turkic, particularly during the early stages of the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526). This is because many of the ruling dynasties and nobles of the Sultanate were of Turkic origin. Persian was the court language of the Sultanate, but many rulers and elites were fluent in Turkic dialects, which were part of their heritage. Turkic customs and traditions influenced their court practices, military organization, and governance. The Turkic identity was reinforced by their reliance on Turkic soldiers and commanders, many of whom were part of the Mamluk slave-soldier system. As the Sultanate expanded and incorporated diverse populations, the rulers began identifying more broadly with Islamic universalism rather than solely with their Turkic roots. However, the early rulers, especially those in the Mamluk and Khilji dynasties, strongly identified with their Turkic heritage, which shaped the foundational years of the Sultanate. Why do you apologists need to bring "Indian Muslim loyal to India" whining every time? Try to be objective. Present day Indian Muslims have nothing to do with Turkic colonizers, same way Indian Christians have nothing to do with European colonizers. BTW, Britishers defended India from many Afghan invasions, that doesn't make then "Indian empire". We were under foreign occupation, just accept the facts.
@@sbsfioAlauddin Khalji was a foreigner by birth only. He settled in India and live here untill his death. He wasn't a colonizer. He wasn't exporting wealth from India to Turkey.
@@sreeyeshb First, stop crying. Second, find the difference being Turkic and the country of Turkiye. Third, they did send slaves, remittances and tributes back home. Few Examples: - Qutb-ud-din Aibak (r. 1206-1210 CE), sent a large shipment of goods, including precious stones and textiles, to the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad. -In 1347 CE, Muhammad bin Tughlaq sent a caravan of 1,000 camels loaded with gold, silver, and other precious commodities to Mecca. The total value of this shipment was estimated to be around 300,000 dinars. Even your favorite Alauddin Khilji sent a gift of 100,000 tankas (a currency used in the Delhi Sultanate) to the Mamluk Sultan, Al-Nasir Muhammad, in 1315 CE. This gift was just sent as a symbol of friendship. There are not detailed records about their finances. Most of the records are from where they are boasting to their countrymen about their conquest over India. They were not obliged to pay taxes to their local governments like the British. Most of their loot was spent on constant military expeditions and raids. They didn't had factories back home that they could exploit like British. They did their exploitation in their own ways- massacre, slavery, religious fanaticism, cultural imperialism, racism. Imagine if a person robs your house, takes your wife and child as slaves, eliminates you or enslave you but then decides to stay in that house only because it's more comfortable . Is he any less criminal because he didn't send some money back home?

Qutlugh Khawaja Also died due to wounds Of this battle on his back home journey..

Salute to all Delhi Sultans..
I hope you did mention this fact about a certain mongol warrior who came into the sharan of either chittor or mewar ruler. After khilji demanded mongol rulers head, rajputs know for their athithi devo bhava refused. A combined force of mongol and rajputs fought to the death
Indian Sultans had better equipped and well trained militatary that inhiliated mongol forces. There may be ktger factors too but the main strong reason mongols got defeated was they faced a superior enemy first time. Not only India, Mongols were beaten in Levant by Egyptian Sultan because of the same reason, the suprior military of Sultan was successful against savage Mongols who merdly relied on superior numbers. Egypt and Indian kings adopted the brilliant strategy of nuetralising Mongols' superior numbers and surprise attacks. Neither superior numbers nor their surprise attacks worked on both fronts.
@anandawijesinghe6298 Nope. They had small band for pillage, chaos and fein retreat while gheir main force js always waiting for ambush when the enemy force chase them. They usually came in 30000 to 300000 in numbers depending on the area of opponent. In case of India they could not outnumber their enemy. Instead they were trapped and surrounded and annihilated at tge battle of Amroha. Other than history books people still talk about mongols who were like an evil force coming in huge numbers, they were so dirty that people could smell them from 20 KM away.
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode about several invaded attempted by Mongolian campaigns towards India north India...and failed....thanks for sharing this magnificent video
India as we know today, never defeated the Mongols. It was the Muslim Sultanate of Delhi (Muslim Rulers of Turkish descent) that defeated the Mongol Hoardes in South-West Asia, while the Arabs also defeated the West Asia and Middle Eastern Mongol Hoardes at Ain Jalut. Please don't mislead the world.
well these Muslims were Indians because they settled down there and had converted local population as well. Indian is not equal to Hindu. thats a wrong notion. although the Muslim Rulers of India were themself foreign invaders but they settled down and lived there so in a way became Indians.

You clearly don’t know what your talking about. Ancient Indian forces were some of the deadliest on Earth, they drove back Alexander and conquered lands as far as Afghanistan. The only reason the Muslims took over was because those ancient powers splintered into smaller kingdoms.
@ I think the Himalayas stopped mongols and Alexander’s army failed to cross Afghanistan. India had two buffer zones protecting it. India never was a warrior state.

@@omaraziz1299 You do present a valid point. I actually do agree with you here. I will say though that India did have more powerful forces, but long before the arrival of the Muslims.

India was infact conquered by mongols after the battle of khanwa. Mughal is persian corrupted word for mongol. Mughals adopted turkic language and then persian then later indian subcontinent languages.
The Mongols were defeated by several powers, including the Japanese, the Delhi Sultans, and the Egyptian Mamluks. After the destruction of Baghdad in 1258, the Mongols' dominance began to decline. The Caliphate was a sacred institution for Muslims, and the Mongols' attack on it provoked strong reactions from key Muslim rulers, particularly the Mamluks of Egypt and Berke Khan of the Golden Horde, both of whom recognized the authority of the Caliph (خلیفہ کی بیعت). When Hulagu Khan attacked Baghdad and killed the Abbasid Caliph, he set the stage for his own downfall. The outrage over this act of sacrilege led both Berke Khan and the Mamluks to unite against him. Hulagu’s forces suffered multiple defeats, including a significant loss at the Battle of Ayn Jalut in 1260 at the hands of the Mamluks. Eventually, a member of Ahl al-Bayt and the Abbasid family was found and appointed as the Caliph. The Caliphate was reestablished in Cairo by the Mamluks, preserving its symbolic authority within the Muslim world. This revived Caliphate remained a central institution for the Muslim world until 1517 when it was abolished by the Ottoman Sultan Selim I after his conquest of Egypt.
@22:00 You described the fate of India if Mongols were victorious instead of Khilji. Fact is that NATIVE Indian civilization, by then, was already 90% destroyed in and by the "Indian" SULTANATE, that later on expanded to South India too, causing forced exodus of my own ancestors too in 1323 CE. And this 'SULTANATE' is still alive and ruling discretely my country despite so-called "Independence".
Very nice video. I just have 1 query. You used Hindu king images for Alauddin Khilji, Nusrat Khan, Ulugh Khan and Akat khan but Zafar Khan's icon is that of sultanate ruler. Were the other generals Hindusor was it a mistake? I highly doubt they were Hindu generals.
We never credit the Delhi sultanate of protecting the Hindi mainland from the mongols for over 100 years, yes they imposed taxes including religious tax but to what end , to keep mongols from spreading the savagery
The Delhi Sultanate period was marked by episodes of violence, religious persecution, and economic exploitation. Temple Destruction: Many rulers, such as Alauddin Khilji and Firuz Shah Tughlaq, destroyed Hindu temples and idols as acts of religious dominance. Notable sites like the Somnath temple were plundered for wealth. Forced Conversions and Persecution: Non-Muslims faced persecution, including forced conversions to Islam. The imposition of the jizya tax on Hindus and other non-Muslims further marginalized them. Firuz Shah Tughlaq is known for forcibly converting thousands. Massacres: Military campaigns often led to mass killings. Alauddin Khilji’s conquest of Chittor resulted in the slaughter of thousands of civilians. Timur's sack of Delhi in 1398, though during a weakened Sultanate, resulted in over 100,000 deaths. Economic Oppression: Heavy taxation under rulers like Alauddin Khilji impoverished farmers and common people. Revenue systems often exploited rural populations to fund military campaigns. Slavery: Firuz Shah institutionalized slavery on a large scale, establishing a department specifically for managing enslaved Indians. He is said to have enslaved over 180,000 individuals during his reign. The Hindu Kush mountain range, located in modern-day Afghanistan. The name "Hindu Kush" is translated as "Hindu Killer." This name is believed to have originated due to the high mortality rate of Hindu slaves transported through these mountains. Many slaves, captured during Sultanate campaigns in northern India, were marched across the treacherous terrain to be sold in Central Asian markets. Probably our ancestors have credited more than enough.........

Giving some kind of credit to khilji for saving indian civilization is absurd. He did everything that mongols may or may not have done as far as destroying indian civilization. For india’s point view, khilji was the mongol.
There was no India then . It was a later British colonial invention. No Indian subcontinent, rather South Asia Muslim rulers who brought civilized behavior and human equality defeated the savage Mongols
Indian culture and hindu schools and temples were destroyed by Muslims in order to promote islam it was hindus who saved hinduism in India even after paying zazia
To remind you it was Muslim who kept mongols out of India no one else if not cos of Muslims India today Wud have been mongolindia. I think Indian Hindus should say big thank you to Indian Muslim who saved country and Hinduisms
You have learned your history from Indian movies. Read books instead. Alauddin Khilji was a headstrong genius who maintained a very strong control over his domain.
The Mongol's held China, so to say they had no cities or agriculture is not the case. Were it not for the rivalry of the Mongol Khanates, India would have been overrun.
Kafur is described as of Hindu descent ("Mahratta", according to the 14th-century chronicler Isami). In his youth, Kafur was the slave of a wealthy Khwaja of Khambhat. He was an eunuch slave of great physical beauty, said to have been purchased by his original master for 1,000 dinars
Indians should thank Alaudin khilji for repulsing the Mongols time and Again Whereas The Europeans and Persians were defeated Alaudin And Saifudin and Baybars defeated the mongols at Ain jalout Egypt A famous battle
Alauddin Khilji (r. 1296-1316), the second ruler of the Khilji dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, was a ruthless leader known for his military conquests and administrative reforms. While he strengthened the Sultanate's hold over India, his rule was marked by significant atrocities, particularly on the Indian populace. 1. Economic Exploitation: Heavy Taxation: Alauddin imposed severe land taxes (50% of produce) on peasants, particularly targeting Hindu landowners. The taxes were so burdensome that many were reduced to poverty. Confiscation of Wealth: Wealthy merchants, traders, and nobles were subjected to harsh levies. Accumulated wealth was confiscated to fill the Sultanate’s treasury and fund military campaigns. 2. Religious Persecution: Hindus faced systemic discrimination under Alauddin's rule. The jizya tax on non-Muslims was enforced rigorously. Temples were looted or destroyed during his campaigns, particularly in Gujarat, where the famous Somnath temple was desecrated and plundered. 3. Massacres During Military Campaigns: Alauddin’s military campaigns in Ranthambore, Gujarat, and Chittor were marked by massacres of civilians. For example: Chittor Siege (1303): After capturing the fort, Alauddin ordered the mass slaughter of the population. The women of Chittor, led by Queen Padmini (as per legends), committed jauhar (self-immolation) to avoid enslavement. Gujarat Campaign: His forces destroyed cities and enslaved thousands of Hindus, including women and children. 4. Widespread Enslavement: Captured civilians during his conquests were sold into slavery. Thousands of Hindu men, women, and children were enslaved, with many women forced into harems. 5. Suppression of Rebellions: Alauddin dealt brutally with rebellions. Villages suspected of harboring rebels were razed, and the inhabitants were executed. His spy network ensured even minor dissent was crushed swiftly. 6. Cultural Suppression: Hindus were barred from holding high-ranking positions in his administration. He maintained strict measures to ensure the political and social subjugation of the majority Hindu population. I think our ancestors have thanked more than enough.......
With respect there was no India at that time. It was a number of independent kingdoms within the sub continent. It was the Delhi sultanate that destroyed the mongol invasion of the subcontinent.my point being if all the other independent kingdoms had combined with the Delhi sultanate to defend against the Mongols. Then one could rightly claim "India" defeated the Mongols.
@mirrorflame1988 " the header to this "India". No such thing as India until 1947. So no I am not confusing India with the civilisations in the subcontinent.
The name India was coined by the Greeks....occurs in Megasthenes Indika. Over the centuries, successive powerful empires ruled over greater parts of the subcontinent....and foreign traveller's like the Arabs also called India as Hind. So, India did exist...as a matter of fact Altamash, the second king of the Sulranate refused an offer of accession to the Ghazna kingdom saying that God had determined India to be an independent nation. So, even though the Sultanate did not control all parts of India...they believed India to be their motherland.

I never looked for the root of the word there. Nice catch.
At this point in time, it's really a contronym, a word that is its own opposite, like sanction, literal, let, cleave and many other examples. Words can change their meanings over time
That also drives me crazy.
You shohld have discussed battle of Amroha also where Mongols were annihilated.
The Battle of Amroha was a significant conflict that took place in 1305 in the town of Amroha, located in northern India, during the Delhi Sultanate period. It was fought between the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, led by General Malik Kafur, and the Mongol invaders.
Background
During the reign of Alauddin Khilji (1296-1316), the Delhi Sultan Alauddin was determined to repel these invasions and secure the northern borders of his sultanate. The Mongols had previously conducted raids into the Delhi Sultanate, which often led to severe losses for both sides. After a recent series of incursions, Alauddin assigned General Malik Kafur and other commanders to launch a decisive defense against the Mongols.
The Battle
The Mongols, under the leadership of Ali Beg and Tartaq, advanced into the Delhi Sultanate territories and reached Amroha. However, Alauddin's forces, led by prominent generals such as Malik Kafur and Ghazi Malik (later known as Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq), were well-prepared for the confrontation. The Delhi Sultanate army strategically positioned itself and managed to surround the Mongol forces, preventing their escape.
The battle was brutal and marked by intense close-quarters combat. The Sultanate's forces decisively defeated the Mongols, capturing and executing many of them. This victory at Amroha was instrumental in weakening Mongol ambitions in the Indian subcontinent and reinforced Alauddin Khilji’s reputation as a powerful ruler capable of defending his realm.
The battle highlighted the strategic and military capabilities of the Delhi Sultanate and helped solidify its dominance in the region for years to come.
Thanks for your suggestion and your thoughtful sharing. Hope to engage in more with you, friend!
Malik kufar the lover of the sultan was a great general, he also conquered the Deccan.
One mistake though In Battle of amroha khiljis were not led by Malik kafur but by Malik nayak
And kafur led in battle next year
Indeed Allauddin khilji was the greatest Ruler of India. A great statesman, strategist and he is the father of Indian infrastructure till today.. All National Highways, postal Service and many other developments were implemented and formed by him.. Thanks for this unbiased and true historical video
I’ll definitely watch this multiple times! So much interesting information!
We are glad that you enjoyed it!
Its basically lies to glaze over India, at that time there was no such thing as India. They defended against a faction of the chagtai mongols not the entire mongols army. Mongol lost interest in the fleeing muslim king too.
Just shared this with all my friends. This is too good to keep to myself!
It truly means a lot to us!
16:33, General Zafar Khan was a Muslim Panjabi. He defeated Mongols who were attacking Panjab and India. Also In Panjab, Bhatti and Khokhar Tribes were constantly Rebelling against the invader Mongols and Tatars invasion of Panjab. Another Prominent Muslim Panjabi General in Dehli Sultanate was Ayn al-Mulk Multani.

@@CriticAnalyst-16r Yes i know Khokhars killed Ghauri in Sindh. Also there were other amongst Muslim Panjabis who fought with outsiders Langah Sultanate fought against Lodhi Afghans and founded their empire in Panjab, Sultan Sarang Khan Gakhar of Potohar Panjab fought against Sher Shah Suri, Dulla Bhatti and Thika Arain fought against Mughals in Panjab, Then Adian Baig Khan Arain conquered Panjab from Afghans/Ahmad Shah Abdali, Zafar Khan was from Arain Caste of Panjab. After, Adina's death Sikh rose to power and their half army was also comprised of Panjabi Muslims and they defeated Afghans conquered Multan, Kashmir and Peshawar from Afghans. After sikhs, during 1857 war of independence Panjabi Muslims and Sikhs had played huge role in this war against Britishers.
Their were people from Arain, Jutt, Rajput, and other clans of Panjabi origin who had fought foreigners during different times.
great job on the video, really loved the detailed animations! but honestly, i think the portrayal of India's defenses might be a bit oversimplified. while the resistance was impressive, there were also significant internal divisions at that time that complicate the narrative. what do you guys think?
It would be great if the map was updated with the dialogue. If you are talking about a place or region, the map should update and reflect the same. Otherwise, it’s hard to follow the details.

Alauddin Khaliji famous Afghan warlord of medieval times with his massive empire which stretched throughout the Indian Subcontinent. He was an Afghan who came from the infamous Ghilzai tribe of Pashtuns and at the time of his reign was denounced by Turkic people and labeled as an Afghan (for all of the pan Turk crybabies) he came from the same tribe as Mirwais Hotak, founder of the Hotak dynasty which conquered most of Iran and even defeated the Ottomans, considered by many as the Grandfather “nika” of Afghanistan. Other legendary ruler from this tribe were Sher Shah Suri who formed the Suri empire and Ibrahim Lodhi the founder of Lodhi dynasty, one of the many dynasties of the delhi sultanate.
He was not an Afghan he was a Turk.

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

Delhi empire was really an indian empire (saw some comments against ). Being muslims dosent mean they were not indians. Capital was delhi, rulling population were indians, taxpayers were indians, much of army contains indians(hindus, muslims alike), married to indian prince and princess. rise of indo-islamic art and architecture.
Come on - let's stop re inventing things. The Dehli Sultanate were Turkic rulers who were also invaders. They ruled the natives. These Turks limited the Mongols. Where are the Indians you are talking about. Just accept facts as they are. You can't re invent what you want. You can celebrate the Turkish victory over the Mongol victory if you want - both armies had a great number of Central Asian Turkic warriors. There was no "India" then so what "Indian" army ? Listen to the names of the leaders of the armies of the so called Indians who are in fact ruling Turks who were invaders themselves.
The Delhi Sultans primarily considered themselves Turkic, particularly during the early stages of the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526). This is because many of the ruling dynasties and nobles of the Sultanate were of Turkic origin.
Persian was the court language of the Sultanate, but many rulers and elites were fluent in Turkic dialects, which were part of their heritage. Turkic customs and traditions influenced their court practices, military organization, and governance. The Turkic identity was reinforced by their reliance on Turkic soldiers and commanders, many of whom were part of the Mamluk slave-soldier system.
As the Sultanate expanded and incorporated diverse populations, the rulers began identifying more broadly with Islamic universalism rather than solely with their Turkic roots. However, the early rulers, especially those in the Mamluk and Khilji dynasties, strongly identified with their Turkic heritage, which shaped the foundational years of the Sultanate.
Why do you apologists need to bring "Indian Muslim loyal to India" whining every time? Try to be objective. Present day Indian Muslims have nothing to do with Turkic colonizers, same way Indian Christians have nothing to do with European colonizers.
BTW, Britishers defended India from many Afghan invasions, that doesn't make then "Indian empire". We were under foreign occupation, just accept the facts.
@@sbsfioAlauddin Khalji was a foreigner by birth only. He settled in India and live here untill his death. He wasn't a colonizer. He wasn't exporting wealth from India to Turkey.
@@sreeyeshb First, stop crying.
Second, find the difference being Turkic and the country of Turkiye.
Third, they did send slaves, remittances and tributes back home.
Few Examples:
- Qutb-ud-din Aibak (r. 1206-1210 CE), sent a large shipment of goods, including precious stones and textiles, to the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad.
-In 1347 CE, Muhammad bin Tughlaq sent a caravan of 1,000 camels loaded with gold, silver, and other precious commodities to Mecca. The total value of this shipment was estimated to be around 300,000 dinars.
Even your favorite Alauddin Khilji sent a gift of 100,000 tankas (a currency used in the Delhi Sultanate) to the Mamluk Sultan, Al-Nasir Muhammad, in 1315 CE. This gift was just sent as a symbol of friendship.
There are not detailed records about their finances. Most of the records are from where they are boasting to their countrymen about their conquest over India. They were not obliged to pay taxes to their local governments like the British. Most of their loot was spent on constant military expeditions and raids. They didn't had factories back home that they could exploit like British. They did their exploitation in their own ways- massacre, slavery, religious fanaticism, cultural imperialism, racism.
Imagine if a person robs your house, takes your wife and child as slaves, eliminates you or enslave you but then decides to stay in that house only because it's more comfortable . Is he any less criminal because he didn't send some money back home?
How crazy is this?? Aladdin khiliz was a afgan! Born and died in subcontinent. How come he is a turk? This is madness! He never set foot outside of Indian subcontinent in his life. @@sreeyeshb
reference of Jalal Uddin Khaurizmi in the beginning. after initially losing to Mongols and escaping to Punjab, Jalal Uddin spent rest of his life fighting and winning little skirmishes against Mangols and requested help from across Asia and Arabia but was turned down by Beghdad Sultan. he died in obscurity.

I hope you did mention this fact about a certain mongol warrior who came into the sharan of either chittor or mewar ruler. After khilji demanded mongol rulers head, rajputs know for their athithi devo bhava refused. A combined force of mongol and rajputs fought to the death
Indian Sultans had better equipped and well trained militatary that inhiliated mongol forces. There may be ktger factors too but the main strong reason mongols got defeated was they faced a superior enemy first time. Not only India, Mongols were beaten in Levant by Egyptian Sultan because of the same reason, the suprior military of Sultan was successful against savage Mongols who merdly relied on superior numbers.
Egypt and Indian kings adopted the brilliant strategy of nuetralising Mongols' superior numbers and surprise attacks.
Neither superior numbers nor their surprise attacks worked on both fronts.
Wrong! Typically mongol armies were much smaller, but much more mobile than those of their opponents.
@anandawijesinghe6298 Nope. They had small band for pillage, chaos and fein retreat while gheir main force js always waiting for ambush when the enemy force chase them. They usually came in 30000 to 300000 in numbers depending on the area of opponent. In case of India they could not outnumber their enemy. Instead they were trapped and surrounded and annihilated at tge battle of Amroha. Other than history books people still talk about mongols who were like an evil force coming in huge numbers, they were so dirty that people could smell them from 20 KM away.

Finally indians accepting khilji muslims as indian😂😂😂
India as we know today, never defeated the Mongols. It was the Muslim Sultanate of Delhi (Muslim Rulers of Turkish descent) that defeated the Mongol Hoardes in South-West Asia, while the Arabs also defeated the West Asia and Middle Eastern Mongol Hoardes at Ain Jalut.
Please don't mislead the world.
well these Muslims were Indians because they settled down there and had converted local population as well.
Indian is not equal to Hindu. thats a wrong notion. although the Muslim Rulers of India were themself foreign invaders but they settled down and lived there so in a way became Indians.
Delusional rewrite history. India only existed after the British colonized the area then formed an India trading Company for management conveniences then evolved into a nation.
@@koneos6580 the word Hindustan (English translation of India) was a term coined by Turks and Persians. the Afghans and central Asians always called this Place as Hind. yes the word India is British name. but thats all a secondary discussion. the point of this video is the settlers or natives of this land mass , the subcontinent whatever you are willing to call it.. managed to fight and stand up to Mongols.
He is making up bs to get paid with false info. India never did anything but the muslins ruined them mentally and physically.
If you want to be "truth" & "justice", the concept is NOT separate in Islam, which you are advocating!
In South Asia, every person who is Muslim is a convert, if not an outright foreigner! The irony is, these invaders settled down and converted the masses and I believe you're one of them!

TRUTH: King and Leaders conquer, not their religion or ethnic descent!!!

JUSTICE: Allaudin Khilji, is the Hindoostan's brave "Sultan" who did are a lot of reforms in civil and military terms to get that honor of defeating the Mongols, so many times, and so precisely ... that Mongols went ll the way to Eastern Europe and Middle East but couldn't massacre anything in Hindustan!
*
JUSTICE:
1. He kept the entire army on payroll, not only at the time of the war, but also peacetime and kept them training !
2. He created main paved roads, which later became Grand Trunk Road, picked up by Sher Shah Suri !
3. Clear code for taxation and extra tax "Jazia" for Hindus.
4. Recruited ex-Mongols to train His army to counter Mongols
5. Create wall of severed heads of Mongol soldiers to demonstrate, who is more ruthless in war.

@@greatboxingen Exactly, Saar! You are absolutely correct. I am not like most Indians who live in this big fantasy world, thinking we were some ancient super-advanced civilization. No, no! I only deal in cold, hard facts, Saar. No blind patriotism for me, only reality!
India under Muslim rule was very powerful. Before the muslims, India was not known for warriors. It was just a land rich in resources.
You clearly don’t know what your talking about. Ancient Indian forces were some of the deadliest on Earth, they drove back Alexander and conquered lands as far as Afghanistan. The only reason the Muslims took over was because those ancient powers splintered into smaller kingdoms.
@ I think the Himalayas stopped mongols and Alexander’s army failed to cross Afghanistan. India had two buffer zones protecting it. India never was a warrior state. It was a place for learning and intellectuals and that’s it. Ancient Indian empires are never talked about outside of India. I think you are the one who doesn’t have the proper info.
@@omaraziz1299 You do present a valid point. I actually do agree with you here. I will say though that India did have more powerful forces, but long before the arrival of the Muslims. The Mauryan Dynasties and the Chola Dynasties were military powers, and did conquer large swaths of land, I don’t think one can deny that and say that there was no warrior culture at all in India.
Chenges khan (It is not his original name) inveded India in 1104-5 . A combined group of several king's from all over(about 12 king's) India defeated above chenge's khan.

How could they have determined the exact number of people being killed without having a proper record-keeping system in place at the time?
The Mongols were defeated by several powers, including the Japanese, the Delhi Sultans, and the Egyptian Mamluks. After the destruction of Baghdad in 1258, the Mongols' dominance began to decline. The Caliphate was a sacred institution for Muslims, and the Mongols' attack on it provoked strong reactions from key Muslim rulers, particularly the Mamluks of Egypt and Berke Khan of the Golden Horde, both of whom recognized the authority of the Caliph (خلیفہ کی بیعت).
When Hulagu Khan attacked Baghdad and killed the Abbasid Caliph, he set the stage for his own downfall. The outrage over this act of sacrilege led both Berke Khan and the Mamluks to unite against him. Hulagu’s forces suffered multiple defeats, including a significant loss at the Battle of Ayn Jalut in 1260 at the hands of the Mamluks. Eventually, a member of Ahl al-Bayt and the Abbasid family was found and appointed as the Caliph. The Caliphate was reestablished in Cairo by the Mamluks, preserving its symbolic authority within the Muslim world.
This revived Caliphate remained a central institution for the Muslim world until 1517 when it was abolished by the Ottoman Sultan Selim I after his conquest of Egypt.

@22:00 You described the fate of India if Mongols were victorious instead of Khilji. Fact is that NATIVE Indian civilization, by then, was already 90% destroyed in and by the "Indian" SULTANATE, that later on expanded to South India too, causing forced exodus of my own ancestors too in 1323 CE. And this 'SULTANATE' is still alive and ruling discretely my country despite so-called "Independence".
Very nice video. I just have 1 query. You used Hindu king images for Alauddin Khilji, Nusrat Khan, Ulugh Khan and Akat khan but Zafar Khan's icon is that of sultanate ruler. Were the other generals Hindusor was it a mistake? I highly doubt they were Hindu generals.
Khilji was muslim
Bjp style propaganda
We never credit the Delhi sultanate of protecting the Hindi mainland from the mongols for over 100 years, yes they imposed taxes including religious tax but to what end , to keep mongols from spreading the savagery
The Delhi Sultanate period was marked by episodes of violence, religious persecution, and economic exploitation.
Temple Destruction: Many rulers, such as Alauddin Khilji and Firuz Shah Tughlaq, destroyed Hindu temples and idols as acts of religious dominance. Notable sites like the Somnath temple were plundered for wealth.
Forced Conversions and Persecution: Non-Muslims faced persecution, including forced conversions to Islam. The imposition of the jizya tax on Hindus and other non-Muslims further marginalized them. Firuz Shah Tughlaq is known for forcibly converting thousands.
Massacres: Military campaigns often led to mass killings. Alauddin Khilji’s conquest of Chittor resulted in the slaughter of thousands of civilians. Timur's sack of Delhi in 1398, though during a weakened Sultanate, resulted in over 100,000 deaths.
Economic Oppression: Heavy taxation under rulers like Alauddin Khilji impoverished farmers and common people. Revenue systems often exploited rural populations to fund military campaigns.
Slavery: Firuz Shah institutionalized slavery on a large scale, establishing a department specifically for managing enslaved Indians. He is said to have enslaved over 180,000 individuals during his reign.
The Hindu Kush mountain range, located in modern-day Afghanistan. The name "Hindu Kush" is translated as "Hindu Killer." This name is believed to have originated due to the high mortality rate of Hindu slaves transported through these mountains. Many slaves, captured during Sultanate campaigns in northern India, were marched across the treacherous terrain to be sold in Central Asian markets.
Probably our ancestors have credited more than enough.........

Giving some kind of credit to khilji for saving indian civilization is absurd. He did everything that mongols may or may not have done as far as destroying indian civilization. For india’s point view, khilji was the mongol.
There was no India then . It was a later British colonial invention. No Indian subcontinent, rather South Asia

Listen later it’s brought up they recruited soldiers from the slave class…
The Mongol's held China, so to say they had no cities or agriculture is not the case. Were it not for the rivalry of the Mongol Khanates, India would have been overrun.
"KhaNAHtay"?? It's just pronounced "CON-8". It's the same suffix used in the words Shogunate or Sultanate. The final letter E is silent. Just FYI.😁
We get your point and surly fix it! Thanks a lot for your feedback!
India did not crush the Mongols, the Turkish Muslims did. India disowns that past
Wars are fought by the people of the land, not just the administration
Wasn't dehil sultanate that crushed the Mongols? Dehil sultanate were Afghan perisan mix
Kafur is described as of Hindu descent ("Mahratta", according to the 14th-century chronicler Isami). In his youth, Kafur was the slave of a wealthy Khwaja of Khambhat. He was an eunuch slave of great physical beauty, said to have been purchased by his original master for 1,000 dinars
Indians should thank Alaudin khilji for repulsing the Mongols time and
Again Whereas The Europeans and Persians were defeated Alaudin
And Saifudin and Baybars defeated the mongols at Ain jalout Egypt
A famous battle
Alauddin Khilji (r. 1296-1316), the second ruler of the Khilji dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, was a ruthless leader known for his military conquests and administrative reforms. While he strengthened the Sultanate's hold over India, his rule was marked by significant atrocities, particularly on the Indian populace.
1. Economic Exploitation:
Heavy Taxation: Alauddin imposed severe land taxes (50% of produce) on peasants, particularly targeting Hindu landowners. The taxes were so burdensome that many were reduced to poverty.
Confiscation of Wealth: Wealthy merchants, traders, and nobles were subjected to harsh levies. Accumulated wealth was confiscated to fill the Sultanate’s treasury and fund military campaigns.
2. Religious Persecution:
Hindus faced systemic discrimination under Alauddin's rule. The jizya tax on non-Muslims was enforced rigorously.
Temples were looted or destroyed during his campaigns, particularly in Gujarat, where the famous Somnath temple was desecrated and plundered.
3. Massacres During Military Campaigns:
Alauddin’s military campaigns in Ranthambore, Gujarat, and Chittor were marked by massacres of civilians. For example:
Chittor Siege (1303): After capturing the fort, Alauddin ordered the mass slaughter of the population. The women of Chittor, led by Queen Padmini (as per legends), committed jauhar (self-immolation) to avoid enslavement.
Gujarat Campaign: His forces destroyed cities and enslaved thousands of Hindus, including women and children.
4. Widespread Enslavement:
Captured civilians during his conquests were sold into slavery. Thousands of Hindu men, women, and children were enslaved, with many women forced into harems.
5. Suppression of Rebellions:
Alauddin dealt brutally with rebellions. Villages suspected of harboring rebels were razed, and the inhabitants were executed. His spy network ensured even minor dissent was crushed swiftly.
6. Cultural Suppression:
Hindus were barred from holding high-ranking positions in his administration. He maintained strict measures to ensure the political and social subjugation of the majority Hindu population.

Khanate has the same ending as Sultanate
I heard they did balle balle with Sikh girls. Is that how Punjabi became alishaan?😂
With respect there was no India at that time. It was a number of independent kingdoms within the sub continent. It was the Delhi sultanate that destroyed the mongol invasion of the subcontinent.my point being if all the other independent kingdoms had combined with the Delhi sultanate to defend against the Mongols. Then one could rightly claim "India" defeated the Mongols.
You are confusing Indian Civilization with the Republic of India.
@mirrorflame1988 " the header to this "India". No such thing as India until 1947. So no I am not confusing India with the civilisations in the subcontinent.
The Subcontinent was known by the name of "Bharat" in ancient times. Now also the indigenous name of India is Bharat.
The usual idiot 😏
The name India was coined by the Greeks....occurs in Megasthenes Indika. Over the centuries, successive powerful empires ruled over greater parts of the subcontinent....and foreign traveller's like the Arabs also called India as Hind. So, India did exist...as a matter of fact Altamash, the second king of the Sulranate refused an offer of accession to the Ghazna kingdom saying that God had determined India to be an independent nation. So, even though the Sultanate did not control all parts of India...they believed India to be their motherland.
the map needs correction? The southern song were conquered after the Khwarezmi were destroyed
The Mongols won against the Indians. Mughal Dynasty. Moguls.
Mongol got divided into 3 different Khanates so they got weaker by this time.
It was India... Delhi sultanate is a part of Indian history.
