1. Amir Timur was indeed a military genius and a great leader men the like of whom history has seen few. Like Attila and Changis Khan he used speed and surprise, and mobility and concentration of force in all his campaigns.But he excelled both in appreciating logistics, and thread-bare planning and preparation.
2. It would be wrong to judge a man of centuries past by today's standards. The Amir was no better or worse than his contemporaries. We should remember that Western and Hindu historians have plenty of grudge against him-beside envy. They could produce none to equal Timur. Caesar, Alexander or Napoleon were no patch on Amir Timur.
3.The massacre at Delhi resulted from attacks on the soldiers of a victorious and tired army already infuriated at their behavior towards the local Muslims. One needs to read The Eighteen Fifty-Seven edited by Maulana Azad and published by GOI and the Last Mughal by William Darylymp to realize that the destruction and killings in Delhi carried out by the English Co in1857-58 far surpassed anything the city has witnessed in its history.It is to buffer this fact that English historians and their paid Hindu associates have exaggerated the retributions by Amir Timur and Nadir Shah.
4. The Amir was a champion of Islam and a servant in the way of Allah swt. Alas, if he could settle his issues with Byazid differently!
