The Turko-Mongol Tamerlane concluded his devastating campaign in northern India and, with his plunder from the destruction of Delhi, marched northeast into the Himalayan foothills against the powerful fortress city of Meerut. Tamerlane’s troops took the city by storm and massacred the garrison. The Mongols then deliberately destroyed Meerut before returning north to Samarkand.
