In the year 1221, the great Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan stood victorious at the western bank of the Indus river with 50,000 soldiers, having just defeated Jalal-ad-Din, the Shah of Khwarazm. Across the river lay the richest country in the history of the world: India. A land of fabulous wealth. A land that accounted for over a third of the entire world's GDP. A land that would-be invaders fantasized about. A land that was groaning under foreign, Turkic occupation. India was his for the taking. All Genghis had to do was cross the river. Instead, he turned back. He spurned the heaven-sent, once-in-a-lifetime chance to conquer India. Historians have wondered for eight centuries why Genghis Khan refused to invade India. In this documentary, Abhijit Chavda solves the mystery and explains why.
