Amazing they made a movie about the schizophrenic crazy homosexual called Alexander that burnt all cities and villages on his campaign in Asia but they don't make a movie about TimurThe brutal capture of Delhi (1398):
The battle took place on 17 December 1398. Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq and Mallu Iqbal's[59] army had war elephants armored with chain mail and poison on their tusks.[60] With his Tatar forces afraid of the elephants, Timur ordered his men to dig a trench in front of their positions. Timur then loaded his camels with as much wood and hay as they could carry. When the war elephants charged, Timur set the hay on fire and prodded the camels with iron sticks, causing them to charge at the elephants howling in pain: Timur had understood that elephants were easily panicked. Faced with the strange spectacle of camels flying straight at them with flames leaping from their backs, the elephants turned around and stampeded back toward their own lines. Timur capitalized on the subsequent disruption in Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq's forces, securing an easy victory. Delhi was sacked and left in ruins. Before the battle for Delhi,

He taught those stupid FATAites a valuable lesson on what happens when you are treacherous. Gets thumbs up from me.
How do you want to look at Timur (meaning Iron); as a ruler, as a military adventurer, as a lover of poetry & art or as a Muslim?
Without doubt as a military leader, there have been few better than him during the middle ages. One must never ignore that Birlas clan, even though racially Turk was part of the Chaghatai Ulus and thus heavily influenced by Changez Khan; who is arguably one of the greatest conquers of all time; thus you find Timur as barbaric as any Mongol warlord.
I have read 3 biographies of Timur, one written during Shah Jehan’ s time is considered spurious as it portrays Timur partiality towards Shia’s. However, from each, Timur emerges as a great warlord, second only to Changez in savagery as well as in military prowess. Modern Uzbekistan was his homeland and he is deservedly revered as a hero. On the other hand, his ransacking of Delhi and his treatment of the Ottoman Turks remain unequalled in savagery.
Simultaneously, his love of poetry and beautiful buildings is also admirable. While Changez's Empire lasted for nearly 500 years in the form of the ‘Golden horde’, Timur’s ranking as a ruler is quite low. His family ruled their homeland for barely a century after his death and it was only due to the exceptionally gifted Princes Babur and Akbar that Timur’s progeny ruled India for nearly 3 hundred years.
As Muslim I rank him very low indeed. Even tough Timur was a follower of Sufi Islam and respected Sufi saints; majority of his victims were Muslims. His destruction of the Ottoman army of Bayazid Yildrim delayed conquest of Constantinople by nearly 150 years.
In my view, he was a typical barbaric warlord; an exceptionally gifted general, generous to his supporters and extremely harsh & vindictive towards all who opposed him.
