Later Mongol Invasions of India
After more than 20 years of peace, major Mongol invasions again started during the reign of the Tughlaq dynasty, which replaced the incumbent Khalijis. In 1327, Chagatai ruler Tarmashirin attacked and besieged Delhi, and Muhammad bin Tughlaq had to pay a huge ransom to free Delhi from him. After Tarmashirin, no major attacks materialized by the Mongols against India until Babur in 1526, who was the descendant of Timur. With Ibrahim Lodhi’s defeat at the hands of Babur in the first battle of Panipat in 1526, a new era began in India’s history with the emergence of the Mughal Empire.
Mongol Invasion of India
Mongol Invasion of India: Mongol invasions were conducted by the Mongol empire in the Indian subcontinent between 1221 and 1327, with the Qaraunas of Mongol descent leading many of the latter expeditions. For many years, the Mongols ruled over portions of the subcontinent. The Delhi Sultanate launched a counterattack against the Mongols as they advanced into the Indian hinterland and arrived at the periphery of Delhi, resulting in significant losses for the Mongol force. One of the Sultan’s main responsibilities, according to Delhi Sultanate authorities, is to take revenge on the Mongols.
