Mongol invasion of INDIA (Delhi Sultanate) |Battle of Ravi 1306|How Delhi constantly CRUSHED Mongol . It’s hard to find any nomadic alliance in history that can truly compare to the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. The sheer scale and power of their conquests were unprecedented. They didn’t just invade—they wiped out entire civilizations. To give you an idea, during Genghis Khan’s invasion of the Persian Empire in 1222, millions of people were killed in major cities. In Urgench, 1 million were slaughtered; Merv saw 700,000 deaths; Nishapur lost 1.7 million; Rey was left with 500,000 dead; and Herat suffered 1.6 million casualties. That’s almost 6 million people from just those cities alone.

Historians estimate that during this campaign, the Mongols killed about 1.5% of the world’s population at the time. Let that sink in—1.5% of every human alive back then. It’s no wonder people describe the Mongols as the equivalent of a pre-industrial nuclear war. Some Muslim chroniclers, such as Muhammad Aufi Bukhari in Delhi, even referred to the Mongols as Yajuj and Majuj—legendary destructive tribes believed to signal the end of the world in Islamic tradition.
Why did they earn such a terrifying nickname from Delhi Sultanate? That all because Soon after conquering lands stretching from the eastern shores of China to Central Asia, Iran, and beyond—to Eastern Europe in the west, and Levant and Anatolia in the south—the Mongols set their sights on the Indian subcontinent.

These regions were rich in resources, agriculture, and vital trade routes. Delhi, in particular, was a major hub. Its strategic location connected key regions and made it an important center for trade and commerce. Merchants from all over the world—Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia—flocked to Delhi to exchange goods.
Indian exports, like cotton textiles, silk, spices, and precious metals, were traded for horses, weapons, silks, and luxury goods from distant lands. Delhi’s bustling markets were filled with a wide variety of goods from different regions, creating a vibrant commercial atmosphere. The nearby Yamuna River facilitated trade, acting as a gateway for goods moving across the subcontinent and beyond.
