The first Mongol raids into India started during their conquest of the Shansabanid Empire, beginning with the Battle of the Indus in 1221. Shah Firuz V fled across the river into his Indian territories, pursued by two Mongol tumens, and set up a new capital at Delhi. The Mongols ravaged the Punjab, Sindh and Kashmir, forcing the various local rulers to pay tribute, before withdrawing to continue their campaigns elsewhere.
