india was always a big economy, especially under muslim rulers!! so it had a lot to offer to mongols. and security wise khwarzimian empire was no match to that of altamash and later balban. i had read somewhere balban had established many strong forts on the borders. his technique was to weaken the adversaries as much as possible before they reach the mainland.
