However, he was later defeated by Genghis Khan himself at the Battle of the Indus River, where he famously leapt on horseback into the river to escape, a feat that reportedly impressed Genghis Khan
Jalal al-Din fled to India, spending time in the Punjab and the Sindh region. He attempted to rebuild his power base in exile
Later he returned to Iran and Iraq, waging a guerrilla-like war against Mongol allies and rivals such as the Seljuks of Rum, the Abbasids, and local rulers
