One of the Generals of Alauddin Khilji writes a letter to his father telling him about his experiences and future course of action in case of a Mongol attack.
A LETTER FROM GENERAL KABIR
Dear Father,
This is to
update you on the current situation in the battlefield. We are expecting the
Mongol army to attack us soon. This is their fifth attempt and just as in the
past we are prepared to successfully defeat them due to our strong tactical
defense system prepared under our able leader, Sultan Khilji.
The forts along
the expected attacks have been repaired and the best of the Generals, including
me, have been placed at susceptible frontier areas. The army has been
strengthened and enlarged. We are in a highly organized state and capable of
squashing the Mongols.
Do pray for our
safe return.
Your Son,
General Kabir
1301 CE
