In 1398, Timur invaded northern India, attacking the Delhi Sultanate ruled by Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq of the Tughlaq dynasty.
After crossing the Indus River on 30 September 1398, he sacked Tulamba and massacred its inhabitants.
Then he advanced and captured Multan by October.
His invasion was unopposed as most of the Indian nobility surrendered without a fight, however he did encounter resistance from the united army of Rajputs and Muslims at Bhatner  under the command of Rao Dul Chand, the Rao initially opposed Timur but when hard-pressed he considered surrender.
He was locked outside the walls of Bhatner by his brother and was later killed by Timur.
The garrison of Bhatner then fought and were slaughtered to the last man.
Bhatner was looted and burned to the ground.

While on his march towards Delhi, Timur was opposed by the Jat peasantry, who would loot caravans and then disappear in the forests, Timur had 2,000 Jats killed and many taken captive.
But the Sultanate at Delhi did nothing to stop his advance.
