Qarachil expedition- In 1333, Muhammad Bin Tughluq led the Qarachil expedition to the Kullu-Kangra region of modern-day Himachal Pradesh in India. Tughluq originally wanted to cross the Himalayas and invade China. He wanted to annex the kingdom to his empire and secure his northern frontier from Chinese ( Mongol ) incursions. He faced local resistance in Himachal. His army was not able to fight in the hills and was defeated by the Katoch clan of Kangra, nearly all his 10,000 soldiers perished and he was forced to retreat.

Mongol Code-
Genghis Khan was a realist, he knew his rise to power had depended on the choices he had made in politics, in friendships, in strategy.
Divine protection, yes, but the Mongol god, external heaven, only helps those who help themselves
Loyalty was the moral equivalent of gold, rare, hard-won, easily lost....
