The Sack of Delhi was a battle between Timur – founder of the Timurid Empire – and Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah, the Sultan of Delhi.[2][3][4][5][6] The Sultan had war elephants among his ranks, something unknown to the steppe warriors at the time. Timur might have had camels loaded with kindling that was set on fire, releasing them to spread panic among the Indian elephants, who then trampled the sultan’s soldiers.[7]
