Bravery Personified: Alauddin Khilji's Historic Response to Mongol Demands
During their time, the Mongol tribes were known as some of the most dangerous and barbaric people, whose brutality was said to make the earth tremble. The Mongol chief Oljittu sent an 18-man special force to Alauddin Khalji's court and demanded that he surrender his daughter to marry him.
For Alauddin, the insulting arrogance and thuggishness of the Mongols was intolerable. In a historic display of honor and bravery, this brave Muslim ruler crushed the head of every soldier in the Mongol army under the feet of his elephants.
He sent a terrible message to the Mongols that this is the answer to you in your own language from Alauddin Khilji, a Muslim zealot.
The Mongols, who rapidly conquered vast territories, faced their greatest challenges from Alauddin Khilji and were never able to establish dominance in India. Had it not been for a brave ruler like Alauddin, the historical and geographical landscape of India today would undoubtedly have been very different.
