Answer:
The king requested Iltutmish to provide him refuge for sometime in India but the latter acted wisely and cleverly. He put him off on the pretext that the climate of Delhi would not suit him. In this way, he saved his country from Mongols’ invasion. On the other hand, Changiz Khan and his soldiers could not bear the heat of Indian’s summer and returned towards the western parts of the river.

A number of Mongol families settled in the region across the Indus River which was a permanent source of Trouble for India. They invaded India whenever Delhi was weak or confusion and disorder prevailed in Delhi kingdom.
