Jalal al-Din's Punjab Resistance

Timeline

1. 1221Punjab plains · Punjab ProvinceAfter the defeat on the Indus, Jalal al-Din entered Punjab with a small following, winning over local tribes and fugitive soldiers in the sultan's name, quickly growing to several thousand and establishing temporary bases on the plains.
2. 1221Punjab–Sindh border · PakistanJalal al-Din's forces launched guerrilla attacks on Mongol-held towns and communication lines, at times capturing posts and seizing supplies. Some local powers were ambivalent, fearing Mongol reprisal yet unwilling to openly swear to the exiled sultan.
3. 1221Sindh · Sindh ProvinceA Mongol detachment again marched south on Genghis Khan's orders; outmatched, Jalal al-Din abandoned his Punjab bases and fled through Sindh toward the Deccan in India. The brief South Asian resistance ended, and the main Mongol force later withdrew north without penetrating deep into India.
