Great animation by the way. But you're showing the Indian sultans wearing Mughal dresses. The Mughals (who were Indian Mongols) did not arrive in India until 1526. In 8:45 I can see the Red Fort of Delhi which is a Mughal monument, not a monument of the Delhi Sultanate. The burning from the Red Fort scene in 16:36 would better fit in a video about the 1857 Sepoy mutiny.

The warriors in which the Mongols suffered the most severe defeats were the Mamluks. The Mongols thought they were relieved after defeating Jalal al-Din Mangburni after a tough struggle. But his predecessor Qutuz and Qutuz's friends (Baibars, Qalavun) completed the work that Al-Din had left unfinished. At the same time the Khiljis, who supported Jalal al-Din in the Battle of Parwan, defeated the Mongols. The Mongols won against Jalal al-Din but it was their defeat.

Example there is fort named Siri built by Sultan Alauddin Khilji it was built as a military cantonment by Sultan and later sultan would shift his personal residence there. It is said that heads of Mongol prisoners of war were burried within its foundations also word Siri translates to head in hindustani language. Similarly there is tower named chor minar(translated as thief tower) at Hauz khas which is said to have been spot where criminals were executed it is said that mongol POWs heads were buried within its foundations and were plastered between its bricks in the walls of tower.

Probably not much apart from further devastation and shallow vassal-making. In the Eastern part, several Rus principalities were destroyed and those who surrendered were made vassals. And, some years later, those who survived just substituted the ones who were destroyed and then thrived. Maybe Hungary would've been destroyed and later on Bohemia taken its place. Maybe the Teutonic Order would have survived further on at the expense of Lithuania. Or maybe a commited alliance could've had resisted them and driven the Mongols off. Who knows. But Europe was quite different from Persia, the Kwarazmian Empire or the immense and endless stepe. Conquering Europe means taking down a thousand castles and fortified cities while being 7000km away from your mainland. And even if they managed to "conquer" a good chunk of it, you just can't maintain such an empire united while having your capital at Karakorum. Most of the Mongol Khans were a bunch of obese drunkards, so Ogedei was going to die sooner or later. And his empire, broken as it was.
Before the rise of Genghis Khan Mongolic was spreading at westward and absorbing Turkic speakers (Janhunen, 2008). During the Mongol expansion, Turkic speakers whose tribes and states had been incorporated into the Mongol empire were so much more numerous than Mongols that, although Mongolian was the language of command, it was Turkic rather than Mongolic speech that was chiefly spread across Central Asia and the central and western steppe.

Lastly a good video on the topic
Isn’t the the first time India fought off a nomadic invasion, centuries before this, during the days of Rome, Alchon Huns invaded northern India which at the time was ruled by the Gupta empire though it was in a sate of decline as rebellion and the breakaway of now independent vassals. The huns devastated the land, destroying many cities and ancient Buddha shrines, the Gupta answered the call for help and with their former vassals now allies, drove out the huns. This was sadly the final epic of the Gupta empire as they would later fall to outside threats and internal struggle.
Sultan's Army cantonment and later personal palace was named "Dar ul Khilafat" but was popularly called Siri. Derived from word "Sir" meaning head, it was famous for having mongol skulls in the foundation of the walls. Some of the walls and still remain to this day and the area is still called Siri.

The Commander that fought Mongols wasnt a Khilji but a Punjabi commander called Zafer Khan from the city of Multan, Punjab. The army was also mainly Punjabi and Turk.
The video should be titled "how outsiders defended India from Mongols because the native inhabitants didn't have the balls to do so" according to hindu nationalists of nowadays.
One of the reason of not attacking India at that time was that he did not have enough force to meet a fresh and powerful army of Sultan of Dehli. Gengez Khan fought the last brutal battle with joint forces of Khawarzim shah and Afghan tribes which destroyed a large part of mongol army and suffering a crushing defeat. Later Gengez Khan attacked Khwarzim Shah and destroyed his forces at the cost of heavy losses which make them unable to continue his campaigns in India. This fact was proven later when mongols attacked India and suffered crushing defeats in the hands of Alauddin Khilji Sultan of Dehli. In fact mongol emire disintegrated as soon as they started fighting with Mamluks of Egypt and Mamluks of Dehli who inflicted crushing defeats on mongols resulting in disintegration of mongol empire. Gengez refrained from attacking India which was right decion otherwise they would have lost their power very early.

Ah, another great video from K&Gs, thank you 🙏 🤌☕️🥰
The name Mongol appeared first in the eighth-century Chinese records of the Tang dynasty, but only resurfaced in the eleventh century during the rule of the Khitan. At first, it was applied to some small and insignificant nomadic tribes in the area of the Onon River. In the thirteenth century, however, the name Mongol grew into an umbrella term for a large group of Mongolic and Turkic tribes united under the rule of Genghis Khan. It is not clear what the Mongols called themselves in their own languages. In fact, the specific origin of the Mongolic languages is unclear. Some linguists have proposed a link to languages like Tungusic and Turkic, which are often included alongside Mongolic in a hypothetical language group called “Altaic languages”, but the evidence for this is rather weak.

Evidence for calling medieval mongols as turkic people a lot. People just sleep on some nations and don't include Golden Horde, Moghulistan and Ilkhanate when learning so called Mongols history. All they study is Khublai dinasty and that's it. No one can even properly count and pronounce tribes of medieval mongols. But if they start learning those tribes they immediately come across Kazakhs, because unlike others turkic nations kazakhs still keep a genealogy traceability.

But there was so much effort and war from Northern Kings as I now see that prevented Mongol ruin of India.

Read your own sentences, "4 nation" .. Turk is not a nation but a race. Delhi sultanates ruled Delhi modern day India. So it's India that defeated them. In the 1965 war with Pakistan, President and head of the armed forces of India was Pashton. By that logic Pashtun has defeated Pakistan or India? Similarly the head of the armed forces in 1971 was a Persian. Try to learn the basics between race, and nation.
