Explanation

Timur's invasion of India occurred in 1398, during the reign of Nasiruddin Mohammad (also known as Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah Tughlaq). This invasion exposed the weakening of the Tughlaq dynasty and caused widespread devastation across northern India. Nasiruddin Mohammad was ruling from Delhi when Timur's forces arrived, and the invasion significantly accelerated the decline of Tughlaq power.
