*Pic depicts mass hindu genocide done by Taimur*
He is portrayed as a blood thirsty monster which he wasn't. The fact that historians tend to glorify genocidal barbarics like Taimur, Aurangazeb, Iltutmish and Jalaluddin who were definitely more blood thirsty and monstrous signifies the tampering of history according to convenience.

No doubt there are significant similarities in Mongolian and Indian culture to this day.
