Here, we look not just at why Chinggis Khan turned away from the borders of India, but also the time that Jalal al-Din Mingburnu, the fleeing Khwarezmian, spent in India, settin up consequences for the Mongols much later on! I'm probably the first person to make a map of Hasan Qarluq and Ozbeg-bei's territory. It's not pretty, but it's not clear either how much they actually controlled. Ozbeg-bei ends up fleeing and rejoining Mingburnu once Iltutmish captured his territory, while Hasan Qarluq's territory was gradually eroded by the Mongols over the following decades (he was briefly a vassal of them too) before he fled them in 1239, capturing some territory in Sind before eventually (I believe) submitting to the Delhi Sultanate Patreon: www.patreon.com/jackmeister
The research you did for this video commendable... Thank you for providing detailed information about the history of India. Edited to add, followed your link from kings and generals.
I love it how you pronounce “chingis” not “genghis”, “haan” not “khan”. “Chingis haan” is the correct way. Can not thank you enough there is an youtube channel and its entire contents solely dedicated to Mongol empire. Keep up the good work.
Very good bro .I am indian hindu . I research chingis haan name . I confused chingis haan were muslim or baudh? In our place, some Arabic ponies call them Muslim Genghis Khan and continue to forcibly give them the title of Muslim. I want to know what was the relationship between the trident and our lord Shiva outside his memorial.
@@shernikasher93 Why do Indian guys have to come inside random videos and make it about them or Hinduism??? Chinggis Khan and his Mongols were Tengrists. Shamans and Eternal Blue Sky worshippers. They had nothing to do with Hindu or Buddha. I guess you saw that Hindu nationalism propagandist Chavda video. The trident is not a coopyright of India or Shiva, trident has been there in other cultures and formed independently. You think others were stupid to not create a trident ?
Brother, I do not need any Mongol king to spread Hindu religion. My Indian civilization is from time immemorial. Blue sky, earth, fire, water, air is considered to be the form of God. Trishul is kept as a weapon of God. This does not mean that the Mongols imitated him. In every province of the earth, one God is believed in some form or the other. I have put my views here to clear my doubts. I consider Genghis Han to be a role model because he tried to eliminate Islamic terrorism. Before that, we had killed the founder of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad by entering his house, in our Hindu texts, he has been described as a demon and an improper devotee of Mahadev. Keep in mind, if you think that for the promotion of Hindu religion, I resort to the name of the Mongol king, then it is your mistake and stupidity. A bigger king than them continues to create our land to the emperor, in the ages, not only a part of the earth, but the whole earth is donated by winning many times and we have faced and put an end to the bigger demons than Muhammad. Our Hindu religion rests on eternal knowledge and science, not on any king or emperor, God himself comes to the land of India to protect Hindu religion. Are you understand 🙄 I think you are a worshiper of Muhammad, not a Mongol because in this way a Mongol does not talk to an Indian in this way, but an Islamic rat talks like this.and you are student of editer google . By the way, I have read the biography of Genghis Han imported from Mongol. I knew what I wanted to know, I did not invite you to answer and I do not need your answer.
I live in West Bengal, India which was a part of Maurya Empire, Gupta Empire, Delhi Sultanate, Bengal Sultanate, Mughal Empire and off course British Empire.

@@vicmultani7582 Bruh. You realize Mongols were and are Buddhists for around 2000 years now? Yes now there are different religions there too. But their main state religion was always buddhism. And second of all your theory of them not able to fight because of hot climate does not stand true on any basis. The Turks too invaded India in the hot climates and were successful. They came from cold climates too. The mongols on the other hand had a larger and far superior army who endured a lot. They could have easily ransacked india but they chose not to clearly because of either cultural affinity or the betrayal they were dealing in China due to which mongols had to retaliate. None of these theories have concrete evidence but they stand more plausible than your climate theory.

@@padmeamidala741 Mongols were not buddhists..if they were then why... did they killed Buddhists in China?...They worshipped to Tengri or Eternal Blue Sky..
The Mongols had pretext. The pretext was that by Genghis's ideology, Heaven had granted him the right to rule the entire world. The title "Genghis Khan" literally means "Ruler of the Universe". Khan meaning ruler and Genghis being derived from the Turkic word Tengriz, which literally translated to Ocean. But in the context that it was used, it had connotations and alternative meanings of vastness, and universe. Taken together, it basically meant Universal Ruler, or better put "Ruler of the Universe". Sooner or later, Genghis would absolutely have attempted an invasion of India. But as you said, at the time, the Khwarezmians were still not defeated. Thus the Mongols had to turn and deal with the Khwarezmians before they could turn their attention to India. The Mamluke Sultanate of India was a formidable power, with wealthy lands and a powerful military. Invading them would require the Mongols to bring their full strength to bear. As it was, their armies were already spread across two major theaters. One was invading Khwarezm, the other was subjugating the Xi Xia and Northern Jin in China. And while Genghis never attempted to invade India in any real capacity, his successors absolutely did. The Chaghatai Khanate launched several major invasions of India in 1299, and both Timur and Babur considered their invasions of India to be a fulfillment of Genghis's unfinished business with India.
Genghis khan and his Mongol army reached near indian borders via Afghanistan between 1221 to 1222 while they chasing jalaluddin mangbornu after destroying Khwarizmi empire and defeating him in the battle of this indus river after the battle Genghis and his army decided to cross indus river and eliminate to Jalaluddin before return to Mongolia via Northern india and Assam by raiding Turkish delhi sultanate and his neighborhoods Rajput states like Gwalior, Chahamans of Ajmer and Parmars of Malwa on the returning way Genghis khan also send warning message to Delhi's sultan iltutmish of don't asylum to jalaluddin who requesting him for asylum and help against Mongols iltumish refused him any help to avoiding any direct war with powerful Genghis khan. On that time Indian climate is also hot hummid for mongols to invade india that's why Genghis khan cancelled the plan to invade North India, Assam and he returned to Mongolia via central asia from the banks of indus river his silent return by another way saved North india and Assam from a horrible destruction...
Gotta love these videos that delve into little to unknown details of history. I remember reading that Genghis Khan saw a bad omen at gates of India always wondered what the omen was. Do you know what exactly the Rhino told him?
It depends on the version, but it's normally something like "your master/the Khan should return home as soon as possible!" I think in some of the versions the sight of it alone is enough to worry the Mongols (and if you've never seen a Rhino or had no idea they existed, that's probably a reasonable reaction). There's a good article on the various versions of the story from the late, great Igor de Rachewiltz you can read here: www.eastasianhistory.org/42/rachewiltz-peace-loving-rhinoceros
Just finished reading the article. Fascinating stuff. Do you plan to cover Timur's campaigns in the future? He seems to get very little recognition relative to what he achieved. I especially want to know how he defeated Mamluks at Syria and also defeated Indians. Psychologically these two campaigns would have weighed hugely on Timur since he would have known how former Mongol invasions on Mamluks and Indians failed repeatedly, yet he managed to pull it off.
@@backpressure123 against Delhi sultanate of India Timur charged camels laden burning sticks against the war elephants which in return ran against their own army columns and disturbed the Sultan's army. Another thing is timur's soldiers were more battle hardened.

When you highlighted 2-3 cities of indian subcontinent, why did you mention MULTAN too, does it hold any significance in particular, im asking cause my family belongs to there but after muslims partitioned India in 1947, non muslims had to fled their homes so there is not much i can do to know about multan in particular, can you please make a video regarding that?? Please??
Hello! So in this period, Multan was one of the region's most important cities, a major trade and population centre, and several times over the thirteenth century, the Mongols, Khwarezmians and Delhi Sultans directed attacks against it. It was a valuable position as a possible platform to attack India, or as a border defence for the Delhi Sultans. It spent quite a few years in this period as independent of the control of the Mongols and Delhi Sultans, and was attacked by both several times but often proved difficult to hold. I think the citizens actually repulsed a number of the sieges themselves without outside assistance! Unfortunately, I only know a little bit about Multan as it relates to the Mongols- you would be better asking my friend Hikma History for a video on it, as he is more knowledgeable on Islamic history as a whole than me, and he has a few videos on the history of Muslim cities.
Multan was a great center of Hindu Sun worship and one of great Sun Temple was located there. By the way where did your forefathers settle after coming?
After 1947 partition millions of Muslims also got killed many were burned alive thousands of mosques were demolished thousands of Muslims lost their houses, not only Hindus but Muslims were also killed...

The genuine appearance and essence of Chinghiz Khan, the real History of the Tatars, of many Turkic peoples and Russians: First of all it must be said, that in official history there are many falsifications and slanders about the ‘Tatars - wild nomads’ etc., which were written by pro-Chinese, Persian, also both Russian tsars Romanovs and Bolshevik ideologists. However primarily we should know the truth about the meaning of the names ‘Mongol’ and ‘Tatar’ (‘Tartar’) in the medieval Eurasia: According to many medieval sources, the name ‘Mongol’ until the 17th-18th centuries meant belonging to a political community, and was not the ethnic name. While ‘‘the name ‘Tatar’ was ‘the name of the own ethnos (nation) of Chinghiz Khan'. Also ‘…Chinghiz Khan and his people did not speak the language, which we now call the ‘Mongolian’…’’ (an academician-orientalist V.P.Vasiliev, 19th century). This confirmed by many little known data. So in fact Chinghiz Khan was from among the medieval Tatars and the outstanding and progressive leader of the Turkic peoples. About the true faith of Chinghiz Khan and his native people: for example, the Turkish traveler Celebi (17th century) wrote the following from the words of Tatar alims (scientists): "It is proved that Chinghiz Khan was a Muslim, and the Tatars professed Islam already during the life of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him)." Also, as Tatar alims told Chelebi, Chingiz Khan had been buried in the Volga region, not far from the city of Astrakhan. Moreover, there is a lot of data about this, hidden from us. It is worth saying that according to many little-known data, the ancient and medieval Tatars were a very developed people both in spiritual and material aspects. It was the medieval Tatars who created the first Constitution of Eurasia, which was called in Tatar ‘Great Yasu’ (‘Yasu’ in Tatar means 'Scripture'). But with time many of their descendants became spiritually disabled and forgot invaluable doctrine and covenants of the creators of Great Yasu... So that the Tatars of Chinghiz Khan - medieval Tatars - were one of the Turkic nations, whose descendants now live in many of the fraternal Turkic peoples of Eurasia - among Tatars, Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Uighurs, and many others. And few people know that the ethnos of medieval Tatars, which stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries, is still alive. Despite to the politicians of the tsars Romanovs tsars and Bolsheviks dictators, which had divided and scattered this ethnos to different nations... About everything above mentioned and a lot of the true history of the Tatars and other fraternal Turkic peoples, that was hidden from us, had been written, in detail and proved, in the book ‘Forgotten Heritage of Tatars’ - it is one of books by an independent historian Gali Yenikey, translated in Engilsh. There are a lot of previously little-known historical facts, as well as 16 maps and illustrations in this book. This e-book (in English language) you can easily find in the Internet here: www.kobo.com/ebook/forgotten-heritage-of-tatars-1 or here: payhip.com/b/Xujb On the cover of this book you can see the true appearance of Chinghiz Khan. It is his lifetime portrait. In the ancient Tatar historical source ‘About the clan of Chinghiz Khan’ its author gave the words of the mother of Chinghiz Khan: ‘My son Chinghiz looks like this: he has a golden bushy beard, he wears a white fur coat and rides on a white horse’. As we can see, the portrait of an unknown medieval artist in many ways corresponds to the words of the mother of the Hero, which have come down to us in this ancient Tatar epic. Therefore, this portrait, which corresponds to the information of the Tatar source and to data from other sources, we believe, the most reliably transmits the appearance of Chinghiz Khan...’. And here's another interesting thing: We can't keep silent that some 'very important' official historians try to retell the content (or rather, the concept) of the works of the independent historian Gali Yenikey (Yenikeiev). But they conceal where the information was by them taken from. However it turned out they were unsuccessful and confused - this official historians, apparently, do not dare to show the real history of the Tatars, being afraid of their ‘scientific chiefs’. But not only this - see the portrait of Chingiz Khan - see on the 7th minute of the video of the Institute of history of the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan (Russia): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3WqB71gs5bc.html - also this portrait is shown there both before and after. This portrait is reconstruction, which made by Yenikeiev on the basis of a lifetime portrait of Chingiz Khan and of information from the medieval Tatar Dastan (epic) 'About the Origin of Ciingiz Khan', as well as from other historical sources. This portrait was used by authors of the video without Yenikeiev's permission and without telling where the portrait came from. This portrait is published on the cover of G. R. Yenikeiev's book ‘Forgotten heritage of the Tatars’: see: payhip.com/b/Xujb For the first time this portrait was published on the cover of the third book by G. R. Yenikeiev ‘In the footsteps of the black legend’ (published in 2009), see its electronic version: payhip.com/b/DNdC This ‘creativity’ of the official historians is called among the decent people as plagiarism - that is, as theft.
Alexander's army did not wanted to continue further hence had to returned but the later rome ruler seleucus attacked india but was defeated by chandragupta maurya and his prime minister chanakya
Jackmeister- could it be that as a strategist, Chingis realized the foreign ecosystem was not conducive to Mongol triumphs? Examples being the failure at ein jalut, the failure in Japan, the failure in indo china.... w/o the steppe, the Mongol war machine was not able to adapt. Much like the Macedonian phalanx- useless in anything but open plain warfare and easily handled by maniple formations. Just an amateur here.
Good question! Certainly he recognized the limits of Mongol military ability. In fact, we see adaptions immediately during the war in China to fill the roles necessary for siege warfare (e.g., Chinese infantry, crossbowmen, siege machines). In fact, in general the Mongols showed great willingness to supplement the Mongol army and fill the roles the Mongols themselves were unable or unwilling to do themselves. Personally, I do not believe that most of the failures at the edge of the empire were reflective of an inherent 'outer limit' reached for the geographic effectiveness of horse archers. At 'Ayn Jalut, for instance, the Mongol army was defeated by an army also composed heavily of horse archers; 'Ayn Jalut was only narrowly won, and the Mamluk victory likely owes much to 1) the defection of an 'Ayyubid ally on the Mongol flank 2) the Mamluks forcing the Mongols into close combat, where superior equipment and close quarters combat training of the Mamluks gave them an edge; and it was still a close run thing. Likewise in Japan, the Samurai at the time primarily fought as horse archers. Probably south-east Asia best marks the place where horse archers were inadequate; a fact recognized by the Mongols themselves as these armies consisted of many Chinese footmen. And still the Mongols enjoyed tactical victories there; just not ones that could be transformed into strategic victories. As I've researched the Mongol empire, military adaptability doesn't seem to be the issue; a lack of political (in terms of governmental and army command) will and the failure to allocate enough troops, supplies and gather required intelligence (hallmarks of earlier Mongol campaigns) seems the greater issue. So whereas attacks on the Song Dynasty were all carefully planned operations, Khubilai's campaigns against Japan and southeast Asia were, comparatively speaking, a bit closer to the Khaan pointing in a given direction, giving the command to attack, and expecting victory BECAUSE they were Mongols. The fact that these regions tended to be in terrain less favourable to Mongolian cavalry subsequently became a much greater disadvantage than it had been in previous years.
Chinggis Khan did not invade India because he really had other more important targets: Central Asian empires, the Chinese empire and trade routes to Europe! Much more important for him as the trade route - the famous Silk Road - meant commercial interest and trade with the rest of the world. Mongolia is a land-locked country. He wanted to control trade and commerce to the world outside. The move west provided that. China had many more riches close to hand, hence China became the target. India had no interest for him. Later, his descendents, did try to invade India up to 5 times but were defeated by Aluddiin Khalji. Remember that name and thank him for saving India from the Mongol yolk! *Mongol invasions of India* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasions_of_India

Mongols didn't attack India after defeating Muslims who rules India at a time.. Because of the religion. Mongols were never defeated by anyone.. And he was not Muslim, people with skipped history class confused with his name khan..
Delhi sultanate at that time fought with only 20k Mongol soldiers. Delhi sultanate lost when Babur brought 50k Soldiers with him. Numbers always matters
He did invade India. Where'd you get your history degree from, a box of Cracker Jacks? He invaded much as the Assyrians did. You either: 1) sided with him, and he treated you friendly; or 2) you resisted and he destroyed your Kingdom. Northern India is already ruled by Muslim traders and traded well with the Mongol Empier by the time Tsingut reaches India's borders--there is speculation why he did not invade..but there are many kingdom states throughout his empire he did not invade. He was more interested in trade vs. slaughtering people--and for decades, India's already been trading and has good reputation to Tsingut (no need to invade). By the time he reached India/Mesopotamia, this high culture of India borders open with trade persuaded him not to invade; however, due to the influence of Islam and leaders from what is now modern day Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan aligning with his later descendants, from 1299 on-- up to Timur a descendant of both Mongol and Turk, 200 years later, Mughals which traced their lineage and heritage/authority to rule back to Tsingut (Ghenghis Khan).. Gurkani did face opposition from India--the Mughals (Mongols) invaded India/ruled it from the 16th to 19th century.
What the hell are you talking about ? You start by saying he did invade, then explaining the exact opposite in a single comment. Besides, Genghis was long dead when Timur came into power, and even more when the Mughals took India.

How much could religion have played in this lack of action? Changez Khan's religion, Tengrism was fairly similar to Hinduism and Buddhism, all pagan cultures. Perhaps one reason could be he wanted to avoid conflict and bloodshed in India with people very similar to him? India qas the richest region inthe world back then. Conquering Ondia would have made him the rocheat guy in all of the world!
Fairly similar ? Well, in that case, any religions could be seen as "fairly similar". I don't see much relations between a polytheistic, vedic religion derived from Indo-Aryan faiths, and an animist, more or less monotheistic faith for steppic origins. Genghis Khan probably didn't care much about religion. Under his reign, some of his subjects were Christians, other Buddhists, other Muslims, or Tengrists, it didn't really mattered.
