Delhi Sultanate: Slave Dynasty

Mongol invader Genghis Khan came through the northwest frontier of India during the reign of Illtutmish. Chasing son of the ruler of Khawarizm Shah Jalaluddin Mingburni, Genghis Khan reached the bank of Indus river. Jalal-ud-din- Mingburni sought refuge from Iltutmish. Iltutmish dared not risk the invasion by a dangerous and furious invader like Genghis. So, he prudently refused to give asylum to the Mingburni. Mongol invasion trouble also went back with Prince Mingburni in 1224 AD.
