Question

Though Delhi survived the Mongol wave of conquest, it was still heavily influenced by the Mongols. The attempted conquest by the Mongols made the leaders in Delhi very cautious toward them. And the success the Delhi leaders had in repelling the Mongol conquest greatly strengthened their rule. To hold off the Mongols, the Delhi leaders increased their power and invested heavily in roads and a postal service within the kingdom. The presence of the Mongols in northwest India also contributed to an increased flow into India of goods, people, ideas, and technologies from the Islamic lands of Persia and Mesopotamia. This led to an Islamic influence on art and architecture around northern India.
