Conquest of Jammu was the military confrontation between the timurids and rajputs of Jammu. Timur, the timurid ruler attacked the jammu which was under the command of Mal dev. The conquest ended up with the victory of Timurids over rajputs of Jammu^[1].

Conquest

On February 27, 1399 AD, Timur sent his army towards the fortified town of jammu, called manu. The people of Jammu sent off their wives and children to the tops of the mountains, and they prepared themselves in their villages for fight. Timur ordered his soldiers not to go towards them, but to attack and plunder the town of Jammu. Accordingly, his forces fell to plundering, and secured an enormous booty and wealth^[2]^[3].

On the morning, Timur put some of his forces under the command of experienced general and tell to conceal themselves in the jungle. Timur himself crossed the river of Jammu and encamped on the chinab river^[4]. Sometime later, The officers, whom timur ordered to stay in jungle, came to him and say that when he (Timur) marched away, then the Raja of Jammu with his warlike rajputs came down fearlessly and began to give battle in the plain. The forces of sultan fell upon them like a pack of wolves fell upon their prey and they killed many of the infidels, few were wounded and some fled to the jungle. Mal dev and some other fifty rajputs were taken prisoners and timurids brought them to the Timur^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8].

When timur saw maldev, fear stuck in the heart of maldev and he begged for life and accepted islam by eating beef with musalmans^[9]^[10]^[11].
