Time for an uplifting story:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region)#Mamluk_period
[quote]The Mongol Empire reached Palestine for the first time in
1260, beginning with the Mongol raids into Palestine under
Nestorian Christian general Kitbuqa, and reaching an apex at the
pivotal Battle of Ain Jalut, where they were pushed back by the
Mamluks.[77][/quote]
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ain_Jalut
[quote]The battle marked the height of the extent of Mongol
conquests, and was the first time a Mongol advance had ever been
permanently beaten back in direct combat on the battlefield.[13]
...
It also marked the first of two defeats the Mongols would face
in their attempts to invade Egypt and the Levant, the other
being the Battle of Marj al-Saffar in 1303.
...
In 1260, Hulagu sent envoys to Qutuz in Cairo with a letter
demanding his surrender that read:
From the King of Kings of the East and West, the Great Khan. To
Qutuz the Mamluk, who fled to escape our swords. You should
think of what happened to other countries and submit to us. You
have heard how we have conquered a vast empire and have purified
the earth of the disorders that tainted it. We have conquered
vast areas, massacring all the people. You cannot escape from
the terror of our armies. Where can you flee? What road will you
use to escape us? Our horses are swift, our arrows sharp, our
swords like thunderbolts, our hearts as hard as the mountains,
our soldiers as numerous as the sand. Fortresses will not detain
us, nor armies stop us. Your prayers to God will not avail
against us. We are not moved by tears nor touched by
lamentations. Only those who beg our protection will be safe.
Hasten your reply before the fire of war is kindled. Resist and
you will suffer the most terrible catastrophes. We will shatter
your mosques and reveal the weakness of your God and then will
kill your children and your old men together. At present you are
the only enemy against whom we have to march.
— Hulagu, [23]
Qutuz responded, however, by killing the envoys and displaying
their heads on Bab Zuweila, one of the gates of Cairo.[14]
[/quote]
This is how you communicate with Turanians.
[quote]The first to advance were the Mongols, whose force also
included troops from the Kingdom of Georgia and about 500 troops
from the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, both of which had
submitted to Mongol authority. The Mamluks had the advantage of
knowing the terrain, and Qutuz capitalized on that by hiding the
bulk of his force in the highlands and hoping to bait the
Mongols with a smaller force, under Baibars.
Both armies fought for many hours, with Baibars usually
implementing hit-and-run tactics to provoke the Mongol troops
and to preserve the bulk of his troops intact. When the Mongols
carried out another heavy assault, Baibars, who it is said had
laid out the overall strategy of the battle since he had spent
much time in that region earlier in his life as a fugitive, and
his men feigned a final retreat to draw the Mongols into the
highlands to be ambushed by the rest of the Mamluk forces
concealed among the trees. The Mongol leader, Kitbuqa, already
provoked by the constant fleeing of Baibars and his troops,
committed a grave mistake. Instead of suspecting a trick,
Kitbuqa decided to march forward with all of his troops on the
trail of the fleeing Mamluks. When the Mongols reached the
highlands, Mamluk forces emerged from hiding and began to fire
arrows and attack with their cavalry. The Mongols then found
themselves surrounded on all sides. Additionally, Timothy May
hypothesizes that a key moment in the battle was the defection
of the Mongol Syrian allies.[29]
The Mongol army fought very fiercely and very aggressively to
break out. Some distance away, Qutuz watched with his private
legion. When Qutuz saw the left wing of the Mamluk army almost
destroyed by the desperate Mongols seeking an escape route, he
threw away his combat helmet, so that his warriors could
recognize him. He was seen the next moment rushing fiercely
towards the battlefield yelling wa islamah! ("Oh my Islam"),
urging his army to keep firm and advancing towards the weakened
side, followed by his own unit. The Mongols were pushed back and
fled to a vicinity of Beisan, followed by Qutuz's forces, but
they managed to reorganize and to return to the battlefield,
making a successful counterattack. However, the battle shifted
toward the Mamluks, who now had both the geographic and
psychological advantage, and some of the Mongols were eventually
forced to retreat. Kitbuqa, with almost the rest of the Mongol
army that had remained in the region, perished.
...
The Muslim Mamluks have defeated the Mongols in all battles
except one. Beside a victory to the Mamluks in Ain Jalut, the
Mongols were defeated in the second Battle of Homs, Elbistan and
Marj al-Saffar. After five battles with the Mamluks, the Mongols
only won at the Battle of Wadi al-Khaznadar.[34] They never
returned to Syria again.[/quote]

From what I read:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire
The founder of the Mughal Empire, Babur, was a descendant of
Timur and Genghis Khan through his father and mother
respectively.

Yes, but his grandson Akbar appears to have had some Aryan blood
(God knows how), as he promoted vegetarianism and outlawed
cattle slaughter..

"Akbar appears to have had some Aryan blood (God knows how)"
My guess:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maham_Begum
[quote]She was the mother of Babur's eldest surviving son and
eventual successor, Humayun.
...
Historian Annette Beveridge calls this family "quiet, unwarlike
Khwajas". Babur also references a certain Abdul Malik Khosti who
may also have been a relation of Maham's, though this is not
certain.[3]
Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak, the vizier of her grandson Akbar, states
that Maham was from a noble family of Khorasan, descendants of
the 11th century Sufi mystic Sheikh Ahmad Jami. This was a
lineage that she shared with her daughter-in-law, Hamida Banu
Begum.[4][/quote]
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamida_Banu_Begum
[quote]Hamida Banu Begum (c. 1527 – 29 August 1604), was the
queen consort of the second Mughal emperor Humayun and the
mother of his successor, the third Mughal emperor Akbar.[1][2]
[/quote]
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh_Ahmad-e_Jami
[quote]He was born in 1048 (441 A.H.) in Namaq (now Kashmar)
near Torshiz in Khorasan, and counted Jarir Ibn Abdullah, a
companion (Sahaba) of Prophet Mohammad as one of his ancestors.
His parents made their living by farming.[/quote]
