The Mughal deluge having receded, the Sultan embarked upon the conquest of Rajputna. He sent an army to Ranthambhor in 1300 A.D. and himself went to the scene of action after some time. The Mughals kept quiet for some time, firstly because they had seen the strength of the Indian soldiers and secondly because they were busy with their internal affairs in Central Asia.⁵⁵ All this time 'Alāūddīn was planning further conquests. Towards the close of the year 1302 A.D. he despatched an army towards the Deccan via Bengal and himself proceeded to the conquest of Chittor in February 1303. While 'Alāūddīn was at Chittor the Mughals regained strength enough to invade Hindustan again.
