Iranian king Nadir Shah returned back to Iran after looting and plundering the city of Delhi. He practically looted so much that he didn’t have the need to come back to Delhi again. He let the Mughal governor Zakaria Khan control Lahore for a 2 million rupees gift along with an agreement to pay annual tribute to Persian Empire.
At the battle of Karnal on 13 February 1739, Nadir Shah easily defeated the Mughals even though Nadir’s force was less than one-fifth the size of Mughal force. The battle lasted for less than three hours and the Mughal emperor, Muhammad Shah surrendered. Both the rulers now entered Delhi on 12 March 1739 and Delhi was handed over to Nadir Shah, along with all its treasures. He occupied Shah Jahan’s royal suite in the Red Fort and held a great durbar in the capital the next day.
However, as soon as Nadir Shah ascended the throne of Delhi, riots sparked off in the streets of Delhi in which a number of Persian soldiers were killed. When, Nadir Shah saw the bodies of Persian soldiers in the streets, he was disturbed and enraged and thus, ordered a general massacre of Delhi citizens. During this massacre, the citizens of Delhi were looted and raided. Many locations of Delhi like Dariba Kalan, Fatehpuri, Chandni Chowk, Hauz Qazi, Faiz Bazar, Lahori, Johri Bazar, Ajmeri and Kabuli gates, were soon covered with corpses of both Hindus and Muslims. There were many who resorted to killing themselves and their wives and children instead of submitting to the Persians. Nadir Shah slaughtered everyone in the city for 6 hours in a day and killed lakhs of people in the city. The exact figure was not known. After the massacre, the bodies were simply buried in burial pits or cremated in mass funeral pyres.
The whole city of Delhi was destroyed, looted, women were raped and killed, plundered and ruined by the army of Nadir Shah. Nadir Shah took with him the Peacock throne built by Shah Jahan. He also took the legendary Koh-i-noor diamond. Besides this, he plundered gold worth 10 million rupees, 600 million rupees worth of jewellery, and coins worth 6 million rupees. Historian said that his overall collection after invading India, was 700 million rupees worth, including 7000 craftsmen, 200 carpenters, 100 stone-cutters and thousands of elephants, horses and camels, which he took with him to Persia.
Nadir Shah’s invasion of India was a clear depiction of brutality and inhumane treatment meted out to the people of the city. The massacre of Delhi left the Mughals so weak that they could not fight against other enemies or regain their strength. There was irreparable damage done to the Mughal Empire by this invasion. Mughal provinces were surrendered to the Persians. Nadir Shah’s successor Ahmad Shah Abdali, following his tactics, too invaded India many times between 1748 and 1767 and raided Delhi.
It is said the booty collected from Delhi was so massive that taxation was stopped in Iran by Nadir Shah, for a period of 3 years, after he returned to his kingdom. Now that Nadir Shah was victorious against the falling Mughal Empire in the East, he could not pay much attention towards the West to face his Ottoman enemies, which led to the Ottoman-Persian War in 1743.
Historians say that Nadir’s campaign against India led the British East India Company to know about the weakness of the Mughal Empire and paved their way to enter India and fill the power vacuum. Historians say that had Nadir not invaded India, the British would have entered India late or would not have come at all.
