Genghis Khan reached the north-western frontier of India (the Indus) during the reign of which Sultan of Delhi?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Iltutmish
In 1221 the Mongol leader Genghis Khan chased the Khwarazmian prince Jalaluddin Mangbarni up to the Indus. Jalaluddin asked Iltutmish (1211–1236) for shelter, and Iltutmish politely refused, which kept the Mongols away from the young Delhi Sultanate.
