Why all the foreign invaders who invaded India wanted to establish their supremacy over Delhi?
Answers
Foreign invaders wanted to establish their supremacy over Delhi because Delhi is very strategically located. It is at the confluence of the Punjab region, the region of Rajasthan which had various Rajput states and the vast Northern plains of present day Uttar Pradesh. Hence, by controlling Delhi, invaders could control the fertile lands of the Punjab and the Gangetic plains. They could also keep an eye over the rebellious Rajputs. Therefore, all foreign invaders in India sought to control Delhi.

Answer:
During the reign of Muhammad Tughluq, the Mongols attacked only once. The Chaghtai Chief Ala-ud-din Tarmashirin of Transoxiana, attacked India in 1327 A.D. at the head of a powerful Mongol army. Dr M. Hussain contends that Tarmashirin was defeated by Amir Choban near Ghazni in 1326 A.D. and therefore, came to India as refugee.
Muhammad Tughluq gave him 5,000 dinars by way of help and then Tarmashirin returned. But this version of Dr Hussain has not been accepted by the majority of modern historians. They all agree that the Mongols came as aggressors and ravaged the country from Multan and Lahore to the vicinity of Delhi. However, these historians also differ as to how Muhammad Tughluq dealt with them.
