At the Battle of the Indus, on November 24th, Mongol and Khwarezmian armies clashed. The battle ended in disaster for the remnant Khwarezmians. Prince Jalal ad-Din was forced across the Indus, where he would flee deeper and deeper into India. This particular battle would foreshadow events to come. Mongol armies had now positioned themselves on the borders of South Asia. Should any particular leader dare to cross the mighty Indus, then the riches of India would be theirs for the taking. And so, for over a century, Mongol armies would push into the Indian subcontinent over and over again, hoping to reap the benefits of Hindustanās immense wealth.
