Anyone else feels bad for Zafar? Talk about someone who shows loyalty to the end, even after being betrayed by his own lord, and even after receiving a great proposal...

[sultanbeybars]

Wow Zafar was a great and loyal warrior. He died like a true warrior.

For those interested, one of the main reasons Kaidu had beef with Kublai was Kublai's appreciation for Chinese culture. Kaidu considered Kublai a traitor of nomadic culture.

People living In Punjab And Sindh in 12 and 13th century:

Ahh shit Here we Go again.

[NoneOfTheAbove]

Mongols: Hey, it's nice piece of land you've got there.
Khilji: Hold my Khalibali...

[irfanahmed]

Alaudin Khilji became famous after this very Battle by destroying the Invincible Mongolian Army.History only talks about the King and not his Soldiers.A Commander and his Entire Battalion Sacrificed themselves for the sake of the Sultanate.And yet the King alone is remembered for his Victory.

[ElBandito]

It's crazy how far the Mongols had traveled, pre-Age of Sail. Heat was their enemy, while cold never bothered them much.

**India Exists**
Mongols : It's free real es..
Khiljis : *NO*

I studied about Alauddin Khilji and Jalaluddin Khilji in school but I never really understood what was going on. Now it's all coming together. Thanks for making a great video about Indian history!

How many kingdoms do you want to invade?
Mongols: YES!!!

[pikachu]

This alone is an example of the military ability of Delhi sultunate at that time, mongols were not an easy enemy being the most successful conquerors in human history, and with the sultanate defeating them decisively at every battle, shows they were better military then mongols.

[AliSherrr]

There are a few mistakes I think about Zafar khan and his role in the battle against Mongols. When Qutlugh Khuwaja was crossing over India and marching towards Delhi, Zafar khan was stationed at Multan and not Delhi. Alaudin Khilji was in Delhi himself but was informed very late of Mongol invasion and hence had a very little time to make preparations for the battle. Many suggested that they should fight from inside but Alaudin rejected and decided to face Mongols on the battle field. Zafar khan intercepted Qutlugh Khuwaja on many occasions but Qutlugh khuwaja refused to engage him in a battle because he wanted to reach delhi on the earliest. He famously once told Zafar Khan off when he tried to challenge him by saying that Kings only fight kings and that Zafar khan should join his king against Qutlugh Khuwaja. Upon his arrival and when battle formations were set, Alaudin explicitly told his generals to not chase mongols without his orders because he was well aware of Mongol tactics. Punishment for such disobedience was death. When the battle started and Zafar khan neglected Alaudin's orders he found himself surrounded by Mongols. He knew no help was going to come. Only way forward was death and hence he ordered his men to fight like hundreds. 500 men killed 5000. Zafar khan in a bid to redeem himself fought gallantly. Mongols who witnessed such courage lost morale and once Qutlugh was seriously injured, the battle was over.

12:45 *Pillars of Mongol Skulls constructed outside Delhi*


Alauddin Khilji took " *Mirroring Mongol Tactic* " thing way too seriously....lol...!

[arkadeepkundu]

Indian General: War Elephants!
Mongol soldier on his 1st Indian campaign: Hmm. That's a big, long-nosed horse, right?

Nepal is like, chill while all the lands around are burning

As an Indian Student who is studying the era for higher Studies, I would say that this video was brilliantly researched, especially for a Western person as they aren't as that interested in Indian History. Kudos!

[smartbaba]

Yesterday I and my friend were talking about 1299 Khailji success against Mongol Invasion. And now Kings and Generals made that very same content. Thanks for detailed information and excellent visual presentation.

[vineethdhuplae]

That's the reason why Sultan Allauddin khilji was called ' Sikandar e Sani ' which means " The Second Alexander".
