Question
"Timur Lung succeeded in invading India." Explain.
✓

Answer

The Sultan came to the throne after defeating the Chugtai Turk chief at Trans Osciana.
  • Then he sat on the throne of Samarkand.
  • Being so ambitious, he invaded Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
  • With success he prepared to invade India.
  • The weak political situation in India during the reign of Nasiruddin Mohammad, the weak heir of Sultan Feroze Tughlaq, gave him a fair chance.
  • Nasruddin Mohammad faced Timur as best he could but could not withstand him and fled the field.
  • As a result, Timur captured Delhi and plundered the entire city.
  • Suffered many atrocities including torture, murder, and rape.
  • He then conquered Meerut, Haridwar, Kangra and Jammu and plundered them and made them deserted.
  • Thus, Timur Lung succeeded in invading India.
