Why DIDN'T Chinggis Khan invade India?

Описание: In late 1221, Chinggis Khan defeated Khwarezm-shah Jalal al-Din Mingburnu on the borders of India: yet, India was spared the wrath of Chinggis Khan himself. Though Mongol armies would threaten the Delhi Sultanate later in the century, Chinggis Khan turned away from the subcontinent. Here, we look at the possible reasons Chinggis Khan did not invade India, as well as the impact his close presence did have, in the form of the fleeing Khwarezmian, Jalal al-Din.
