	Battle of Indus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Indus was fought at the river Indus in today's Pakistan in the year 1221 between Jelal ad-Din Mingburnu, the sultan of the Khwarezmid Empire and his only remaining forces of five thousand, and the Mongolian horde of Chinggis Khan.
		Jelal ad-Din Mingburnu was fleeing to India with his men together with thousands of refugees from Persia, following the Mongol sacking of several cities, including Bukhara and Samarkand, the latter being the Khwarezmian capital.
		After having won the Battle of Parwan, near the city Ghazna (Ghazni) in eastern Persia, Mingburnu headed for India to seek refuge together with his army of some fifty thousand men and several thousand refugees.
