Why did not Genghis Khan invaded India ?

hi

Genghis Khan was born in Delüün Boldog in 1162. He died in 1227 at the age of 65. According to legend, he was born with a blood clot in his clenched fist, foretelling his emergence as a great leader.

Khan was tall, had a long beard, and likely sported red hair and green eyes, although he would have looked oriental. This mixing of European and Asian characteristics was quite common in Mongolia at the time.

Khan founded the Mongol Empire when he united the tribes occupying the Mongol plains. These plains are situated between China and Russia in central Asia.

The Mongol Empire went on to become the largest contiguous empire in history, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to eastern Europe.

As well as modern day Mongolia, Khan’s empire included most of China, Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and some parts of Russia.

Genghis Khan believed the strength of a man was defined by the children he left behind. He had thousands of women within his harem and fathered children with many of them.

Khan's armies may have slaughtered more people than Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler's combined. His military campaigns sometimes involved eliminating an entire civilian population. As many as 40 million people were killed under his rule.

On Genghis Khan’s order, he was buried in an unmarked grave at an unknown location in Mongolia. In order to conceal the location, his funeral escort executed everyone in their path.

According to legend, Khan requested that a river be diverted over his grave so that he would never be disturbed. This followed the custom of burial for ancient leaders such as Gilgamesh and Attila the Hun.

Surprisingly, Khan promoted religious tolerance and was interested in the philosophies of other cultures. He studied Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity. When he attempted to befriend Persia, he sent a Muslim emissary.

Genghis Khan also supported ethnic diversity within his empire, allowing people from other cultures to administer his cities. The Mongolians lacked experience for this task, given their nomadic roots.

Women were also well respected in the Mongolian Empire, with Töregene Khatun ruling as regent for 5 years after the death of Genghis’ son, Ögedei.

Genghis Khan modernized Mongolian culture by adopting the Uyghur script as a writing system and by creating the Yassa code of law.

Before he united Mongolia, the plains were occupied by nomadic tribes including the Tatars, Keraits, Mongols, Merkits, and Naimans. Khan belonged to one of the Mongol tribes.

The Chinese Jin dynasty used to periodically switch their support between the tribes to ensure that none attained superiority. This made the Jin dynasty one of Khan’s first targets.

Genghis Khan’s birth name was Temujin, which was the name of a powerful warlord defeated by his chieftain father, Yesugei.

When Temujin was only 9 years old, Yesugei arranged for him to stay with Börte, Temujin's future wife. She was the daughter of a neighboring chieftain

Yesugei was poisoned by the Tatars, forcing Temujin to return home to claim leadership. However, he was outcast and forced to live in squalor for a number of years with his mother and brothers.

At the age of 10, he killed one of his half-brothers in a fight over hunting spoils.

At the age of 15, he was enslaved by a neighboring Mongol tribe but escaped with the help of a guard. This enhanced his reputation and gained him valuable allies.

At 16, he married Börte and allied with her Mongol tribe. As was tradition, he took numerous other wives during his life, but Börte was his only Empress.

When Börte was kidnapped by the Merkits, Temujin rescued her with the help of the Kerait tribe (who were allied with his father) and another Mongol tribe led by Jamukha.

Eight months after Börte’s capture, she gave birth to her first son, Jochi. This led to questions about the paternity and later challenges from Khan’s other sons.

With the Mongol tribes united and the Merkit tribe defeated, Temujin found himself at war with his previous allies, the Keraits. After defeating them, he destroyed the Naimans. In each case he was successful in convincing a greater number of tribes to become his allies. He was also helped by the alliance of the formidable general, Subutai.
