Kings and Generals Khaljī dynasty INDIAN DYNASTY WRITTEN BY: The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica See Article History Alternative Title: Khiljī dynasty Khaljī dynasty, also spelled Khiljī, (1290-1320), the second ruling family of the Muslim sultanate of Delhi. The dynasty, like the previous Slave dynasty, was of Turkish origin, though the Khaljī tribe had long been settled in Afghanistan. Its three kings were noted for their faithlessness, their ferocity, and their penetration of the Hindu south.

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.
and then some people make a movie on their savior and destroy his image
@@zaroonyakhyakhan4514 that doesn't mean he is a "savior" of anyone, he was a king which in modern terms would be called dictator. I am just comparing the military tactics, none of the political bullshit. It's completely normal for people native to India to call invaders what they were. What most king did was to please their own self rather then the public, and those who did cared for the public, history treats them with high regard. Even Ashoka the great was only considered "great" once he realised wars are a loss regardless of whoever wins.
No, the Mongols were declining after their division, they weren't as powerful as they used to be at that time. the khiljis were defeated many times by Rana kumbha and local Rajput kings
No....there is no military comparison between the sultanate and Mongols......it was just that when you're in a position where you have to defend rather than attack you automatically gain the upper hand.....secondly India's geography may have played an important role in the sultanate's victory..... moreover chengis Khan was not commanding the Mongols......so they weren't even close to the military they had in their prime
@@pikachu5647 Don't you know about the mongol atrocities against everyone they conquered? He saved India from Mongols and brought reforms which brought Industrialisation, and was also a good administrator
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.
Yes Zafar khan made a mistake on battle field but redeemed it with his life. Alauddin did the right thing
@Bishan Singh I don't know how your reply is relevant to mine?

It's crazy how far the Mongols had traveled, pre-Age of Sail. Heat was their enemy, while cold never bothered them much.
They conquered China. Heat would not be a problem. They can invade during winter time in Northern India. The reason they failed is, the great conquests of the Mongols which we are aware happened much before 1390's. The Mongol armies that the Delhi Sultanate faced was a shadow of the army under Ghengis, Jebe Subutai, Hulagu. Had the Mongols invaded while they were a united force India would have come under Mongol rule and I wouldn't be typing in English.
When Ghengis Khan had camped on the other side of the river Indus, the only thing that stopped him from crossing over was the pragmatic decision taken by the Delhi sultan of not assisting the Kwarezmian prince who had entered India and was seeking help from Delhi. If Delhi had supported him then, we might have seen the finest fighting force on the planet at that time breeze past the Delhi armies.
@@ramkrishnan8476 Any idea on how effective the elephants were against the Mongols? I feel like they would probably scare the shit out of any horses (and people) that had never been around one before.
@@corndogrequiem1728 Alexander the Great had also fought against the Indians and his army was effective against them. The elephants were fearsome without any doubt, but history would point out that an army with elephants had also lost. Example, when Timur the Lame invaded India in the later part of 1300's he was faced with an army that had numerous elephants. He devised an ingenious plan of setting the back of his camels on fire and forcing them to run towards the elephants. The result was that the elepahnats trampled their own men out of fear
@@corndogrequiem1728 Ghengis Khan had the ability of spotting talent. Subutai was a commoner and was elevated to the position of general. During his initial campaign against the Xi Xia Ghengis was having difficulties in breaking into the fort walls. It was the commoner Subutai who came up with a plan. It was to attack the gates and sure enough it would be repulsed with casualties. But while attacking the gate the Mongols carried a chest along with them. After killing the raiding party, Xi Xia general was curious to know what was in the chest. After making sure no Mongol was around he sent his party out to open the chest. When they opened it, they found birds inside which flapped their wings and flew away. This was the signal for the Mongols that Xi Xia soldiers had come out of the gate. They stormed the gate and the rest is history. Such brilliance, would have found a way to deal with the elephants, if it became too much of a threat to them.
Wow Zafar was a great and loyal warrior. He died like a true warrior.
Lie Zafar Khan defeated Mongols Mongol never win in India . This is lie propaganda videos . Everyone knows when Mongols win what they did kill all men population and marry women no such thing happened in India.
the Ptolemy dynasty ruled for nearly 300 years in Egypt they spoke greek and few spoke the local language
@transylvanian Mongol if they won would have looted India and slaughtered people and destroyed cities . That's what they mostly did
@transylvanian killing unarmed civilians doesn't require skills u don't have to be good at it .There were many kings who didn't slaughter even if they did they left women and children but mongol were pure savages .I don't say that only mongols did it.

The part where u say zafar khan was betrayed by his king is actually incorrect. Alauddin knew mongol tactics and told his generals not to chase the running enemy very strictly. Zafar made that mistake and redeemed it with his life. He also knew that Alauddin was not going to come. Although zafar and his men fought fiercely where some say they killed 10 men for 1.
Indeed.
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.
Wasn't a good person though. Powerful sultan but a tyrant at that.
Well my friend history is only written by the Victors
This is like that movie Troy when Achilles is the one who breaks the city of Troy and in the end it's only Agamemnon who will be remembered in history
Man Alauddin knowing mongol tactics, strictly forbade their commanders to follow a retreating enemy. Zafar made that mistake but he fought with his life to redeem his mistake. Zafar knew alauddin would not abandon his position so his men fought like they had nothing to lose.
@@dutcheastindies8354 Yet his era is the among the earliest forms of industrialization. His administration of India was very good and he knew any weakness from inside will tore it apart against such massive enemies on border.

@Dodadeus Baibars was one of the many circassians sold to egypt and became a mamluk slave soldier not to mention the golden horde was still selling more and more boy slaves to egypt to be trained to become mamluks aswell which pissed hulagu off lol berke khan also got pissed at hulagu for hogging the fertile and rich southern regions and leaving the golden horde with miles of empty steppe one of the main reasons coupled with the sacking of baghdad that caused the rift between them he also supported ariq boke against kublai khan in the toluid civil war alot of mongols sympathised with berke becuase hulagu trully was hogging alot of wealth in persia which angered both the chagatai and golden hordes

Zafar Khan's death made me quite sad. I can definitely understand why the Sultan didn't charge forward with him though. I read the Sultan commanded his generals to hold positions and stay on the defense, which Zafar disobeyed.

@Shaurya Joshi that was his grandfather jahangir .

@Shaurya Joshi it was for trading and it actually helped india at that time
@Shaurya Joshi go watch the video bbc hindi made , i dont know how to share it
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.
@ismart genius ismart genius Lol
I love your channel!
Map animation is very good. Keep it up also very informative
Mongols raised skull pillars everywhere. In India, they got the taste of 'Karma'.
this channel just keeps getting better, it's simply outstanding
2:05 It’s always amazed me how staggeringly massive the Mongol Empire was. That looks less like a historical map and more like a Civ game played on Settler (Easiest).
This part made me pause for a second. Sure most of that land is empty steppe but by god is it chilling to see nearly the entire continent turn blue at once.
AntiZion Caliphate of Sibir after the Golden Horde fell lmao
One of the least known facts is that actually Mongols were the minority in the Mongol Empire. They conquered most of the lands that Turkic people had conquered. That made them the Minority and eventually their Empire got mixed heavy and Turkicized.
a a lol no hes not
Very nice & informative video all should see and appreciate.
Very interesting & knowledgeable video. Thanks.

@Jancy Varghese muslim arrive in india in 7. century wthat the fuck is 1200 and before delhi there was so many muslim empires
@Jancy Varghese you say 1200 and now 1000 you changed history ?
@Jancy Varghese Dehli was a muslim city. Not a single hindu king ruled delhi as his own capital before the Muslims. The word dehli comes from the urdu word dehleez meaning threshold, boundary, entrance or edge, because dehli was the edge of muslim majority regions. From the 1200s when it was founded by the Muslim salatin starting from Aibek until 1857 it was a Muslim capital under the hands of Bahadur Shah Zafar when it was forcefully taken by the British. Dehli's entire history is stained and its soil is watered with the blood of the Muslims who defended it for their own purpose

This video has given detailed information about mongol invasion of India. There was so less information about this but kings and generals good work
That barlas tribesman named Timur was the great grandfather of Babur who was the founder of Mughal Dynasty which ruled almost all of Indian sub continent for 400 years. This Timur is the same person whose Epitaph in Gur-e-Amir in Samarkand reads- " When i rise from the dead, the world shall tremble." That's pretty Badass!
Babur put his footprints in India after the victory in Battle of Panipat in 1526. This laid the foundation of Mughal Empire in India. They were the largest power in India till the death of Aurangazeb in 1707. Unfortunately, his successors were incapable and in next 20 years, they were wiped out. So, in reality the Mughals ruled large parts of India for less than 200 years. So, calling 400 years of Mughal rule is just an exaggeration.
@@jpg4774 Mughal empire effectively ruled until 1868. Bahadur shah zafar was the last mughal emperor to Abdicate the throne. So essentially they ruled more than 300 years. I was somehow under the impression that Babur came to India in 15th century. My apologies for that but your facts aren’t completely right as well.
@@wazirfloyd Well if you consider the President of India as the Ruler of India, then you might consider yourself right, but in reality they were no more than Titular head of Mughal Empire with no power in hand. They is a joke in Farsi language that the reign of Mughal spreads from Red Fort to Palam. :) After 1720s, the Maratha were the protectorate of Delhi and Mughals were just Titular head. After downfall of Maratha, the British became the protectorate of Delhi until 1857. After that he was prisoned in Rangoon till his death 10 years later.
@@wazirfloyd Even in its heyday, the Mughal empire had pains in successfully controlling Central and specially Southern India. It was only under Aurangazeb that the Mughals truly controlled most of what is India today. So, claiming they ruled ALL of India for 400 years is a misnomer here.
@@shiveshsingh3169 That is why i said almost all of Indian subcontinent. When indians say british ruled india for 200 yrs then they are also wrong. They only had small territories of bombay, surat and Calcutta. Rest they captured slowly over the period of time. I hope you get the point. We cant be on both sides of the argument. Its the sentiment that matters. Hope this helps!
Great series!

Jesus, the amount of hate between Hindus and Muslims when it comes to Delhi Sultanate/Mughal empire. Northern India (Pakistan) was never entire Muslim, it was a melting pot of cultures and that's what made them so special, there's no need to fight over it. Both Muslims and Hindus can be proud of their shared ancestry. Northern (and southern) medieval India kicked ass 👍🏻
No Delhi meat for the Mongols. Now the decline begins.....(schemes in Russian and Chinese.)

@John Doe why are you jealous
@John Doe why tf are you spamming this entire video
@John Doe while you're right that most of them were raids but if you actually watched the video instead of spamming out of jealousy and bitterness you can see from 8:20 onwards how a force of 50000-60000 came with an intention of conquest, it wasn't a raid it was an invasion. Another final attempt at invasion was made after that which failed again.
great video once again guys! i've been always fascinated by medieval india
The Mongols trembled from Zafar Khan's name. When their horses didn't drank they said, "ظفر را می ریدی کہ اب نمی خوری" Which means have you seen Zafar that you are not drinking water.

Guys, Khiljis are Pashtuns. We call them Ghilzais and they are one of the biggest Pashtun tribes in Afghanistan. Yes, they might have some Turkic Ancestry but then again, all Pashtun tribes have some Turkic ancestry as we all are from Central Asia.
Khiljis are pure turkic tribe .

Had Mongols not been stopped, today India would have been another country like China where religion would die and people would only follow atheism. Forget Cow, Hindus would have everything like the Mongols. The Islam as blessing in disguise saved Hinduism from Mongols. Because only Islamic martyrdom could face the might of Mongol Expansion at that time.

This is the freaking reason when Bollywood industry made movie Padmawati... Many Hindus and Muslims were against this movie. Coz it truly showed wrong face of Ala Aldeen Khilji. He saved our forefathers from getting nailed by mongols blades putting him self in danger and never compromising and we make fun of him. Shame on indians media....

Hamed Rahimi so what ? Spain was colonized for 800 years by Muslim moors. What is your point? India is the only country where the people kept their culture and religion. In fact it was the colonizers who fell in love with Hindu culture and became Indianized.

@Aayush jha agree bro... All was India and we were great power... But I know some godse terrorist ideology people can't digest it... But u are not...
@Aayush jha But that was Vedic age and the Persian you are talking about were Zoroastrian. Islam of for that part even Christianity was nowhere near close their begining. That's the great Vedic age, some 4-5k bc and one of the first ever human civilization outside Africa and Egypt if not THE FIRST EVER ACTUAL POTENTIAL HUMAN CIVILIZATION OF THE WORLD. And it wasn't very pagan either like how we today use to usually think of them based on what we have today as their decendants. Indra was a righteous god back them and highly worshipped.
Great video
man i am loving your mongol series than anyone else(not that your others are bad ) but this is just my favourite
This is pretty much my favorite channel. Every video is awesome!
Thanks!
The guys on the Delhi left and center must have had a weird day. "Hell yes, we're crushing them on the right wing!" "Crap, it was a trap and now we have no right wing! We're all gonna die!" "Wait did we just win?"
Mongol prince dies. What were mongols supposed to do. Zafar challenged the mongol prince on a one on one battle at multiple occasions but he said Kings only fight with kings. Atlast he was killed by zafars attacks.
the mongol prince Qutlugh Khwaja was badly wounded
😂😂
That bloody but subtle feined retreat, gets me everytime!
Few mistakes are present in it. 1. Zafar Khan was ordered by alauddin khilji to not initiate attack unless Mongols do it themselves 2. After seeing bravery and military prowess of sultanate forces qutlugh Khan realized his folly 3. Mongols were hard pressed as far as provisions are concerned 4. The mounted archery was forte of sultanate forces which was major cause behind it's establishment and defeat of rajputs 5 unity among nobility of sultanate 6 one Hindu general of khilji also led sultanate troops and won a great victory over them

1) major props for bringing to light an oft-overlooked chapter in Indian & Mongol history (even the Wikipedia page is a stub) 2) props for pronouncing Chingis correctly 3) 1 demerit for ignoring Razia Sultana
Grazia indeed deserved a mention but technically she had no part in this story. Her short reign was filled with civil wars and this is a documentary of mongol invasions so I don't think razia should be mentioned though she was a great administrator and warrior
Feigned Retreat is a tactic used by the Mongols. Alaudin was aware of this and did not want to fall in the trap. Zafar Khan's animosity of mongols had been sharpened by his continuous engagement with them, so he threw himself with whole lot passion before .. unfortunately becoming surrounded. But this did the job of winning the battle. Neither was Alaudin suspicious of him, for he had left him at Delhi many times, when he was campaigning at other places. In the battle, when Zafar had gone too far, the Sultan was angry . Zafar Khan was a loyal commander, who did not risk his Sultan by retreating back, though he was facing death in front of him. Also we must consider the logistics of those ages with no satellite phone, no wireless or for that matter the communications with command centres. In those days, outcome of battles depended many times on the ability to take informed decisions and of course the bravery or courage of few to inspire the whole lot. Zafar was brave and his troops courageous. He fell like a hero that day for his Sultan.
Precisely said. That's the original fact.
In the Bollywood movie "Padmaavat" Allauddin khilji was played by famous actor Ranveer Singh. The battle in this video lasted for mere 20 seconds in that movie where Allauddin breaks the defence line of Mongols in the dust and comes with other side with a severed Mongol head in his hand.
and he was portrayed as a villain looool when he was actually a savior of india
