Completely wrong map, the Chagatai Khanate’s army was defeated by the Delhi Sultanate under Alauddin Khalji in 1299.
After the death of Mongkol Khan in 1259, Kublai and Ariq Böke were locked in a struggle for the throne, and the Mongol Empire disintegrated. After that, the Golden Horde did not recognise the suzerainty of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ilkhanate was only a nominal vassal. The conquest for Southern China, the Song Dynasty, did not take place until 1279, and the attempt to conquer Vietnam was even later and failed.

Some maps include Indian territories in depictions of the Mongol Empire due to the Mongols’ attempted invasions of India during the 13th century. These invasions, led initially by Genghis Khan and later by his descendants, targeted the region that is now Pakistan and parts of North India. Although the Mongol armies made several incursions into the subcontinent, they were not able to establish lasting control over these areas. The inclusion of Indian territories in such maps may reflect these military campaigns rather than actual governance or prolonged control by the Mongols. The maps might be using a broader definition of the empire’s reach, emphasizing the extent of Mongol military expeditions rather than settled rule.

This map is totally misleading.

India was never part of the Mongol Empire. This is likely a “claimed” map, by which only a portion of India was occupied before the Mongols were utterly defeated and expelled from India.
I would consider it propoganda. Like how some countries use historical claims in order to inflate their modern ones.

Lol even the museum beneath the giant Genghis Khan statue outside of Ulaanbaatar doesn’t have a map that claims that India was part of the Mongol Empire!

I guess it’s counting the Mughal Empire as a continuation of the Mongol Empire? The Mughal emperors were direct descendents of Genghis Khan, so it’s not entirely insane.
Just mostly insane, there’s a time gap of a few centuries in there.

The map is wrong . Confusing Mughals with mongols .

I know it’s obscure, but in the very first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus they do a skit where they re-enact famous deaths. One of the deaths in Genghis Khan. It always bugged me because they introduce him as “Genghis Khan, Conqueror of India”
The only thing I can think of is that maybe some definitions have migrated over time. Like maybe India used to more generally mean “the East” from a European perspective. In that case it would kind of make sense. But it always stuck out to me because the Monty Python crew were well-educated guys, and I’m fairly sure a big error like that wouldn’t make it past them. So I’m more inclined to believe it’s an anachronism (or whatever the word for that is- it was OK at that time but no longer makes sense)

Blud downright confused with mongols and mughals. Not the same thing. Not even in the same era. And some part of India? It shows almost 85% of India being covered.
