Explanation:
Timur’s Conquests:
Timur (1336-1405 A.D.) was a great military commander and conqueror of Central Asia. He conquered one kingdom after another.
In course of a fight, his one leg was wounded and he limped for the rest of his life.
Thereafter he came to be known as Timur-the Lame. The Persians called him ‘Timur-i-Lang’
Timur succeeded in establishing a vast empire which included Transoxiana, a part of Turkistan, Afghanistan, Persia, Syria, Qurdistan, Baghdad, Georgia and the major part of Asia Minor. He successfully looted southern Russia and several parts of India. Delhi was perhaps the worst sufferer. It is said of Timur’s invasions, “Wherever he went he brought about destruction, massacres, burning, looting and dishonour to women”.
Timur’s Invasion of India (1398-1399) : causes of Timur’s invasion:
Following were the chief motives of Timur’s invasion on India:
:
1. Timur’s ambition:
Like other great conquerors, Timur was also very ambitious. He wanted to bring under his sway more and more lands.
2. Eye on India’s wealth:
Dr. A.L. Srivastava has described this motive in these words, “The huge wealth of Hindustan had attracted his attention. Delhi Sultanate was tottering and this gave an opportunity to the Turkish conqueror to fulfil his ambition.” According to Dr. Srivastava, Timur had no intention of conquering Hindustan or ruling over it.
3. Spread of Islam:
In his autobiography, Timur has stated, “My object in the invasion of Hindustan is to lead an expedition against the infidels, to convert them to the true faith of Islam and purify the land itself from the filth, infidelity and polytheism.” Spreading Islam, he wanted to acquire the title of ‘Gazi’.
4. Unstable political condition of India:
Timur wanted to make the best use of the political chaos of India.
5. Fulfilling the task of Changez Khan:
It is said by some historians that Timur wanted to realise the dream of Changez Khan which he had seen at the time of Iltutmish.
