the Persians in this Battle of Karnal, fought just 110 kms from Delhi resulted in a
plunder of the city of Delhi by the victorious Persians who under the command of
their leader X killed 30000 civilians.
The plunder seized from India was so rich that X stopped taxation in Iran for a
period of three years following his return. The Mughal ruler, Muhammad Shah
kept delaying the Mughal response to X’s approach towards Delhi and acted
only when he was 110 kms away.
This delay in action is often cited as the main reason for Mughal defeat. When
asked to act, Muhammad Shah repeated the phrase Y.
This phrase is used till date to scare Indian procrastinators.
