Alauddin Khilji's reign is marked by his successful defense against which foreign invader?
Mongols
Mongols is correct.
Alauddin Khilji (ruled 1296-1316) faced repeated Mongol invasions from the Chagatai Khanate. His armies defeated the Mongols at Jalandhar (1298), Kili (1299), Amroha (1305) and Ravi (1306), and he strengthened frontier forts and maintained a large standing army to protect the Sultanate.
To pay for this army he introduced market (price-control) reforms, branding of horses (dagh) and descriptive rolls of soldiers (chehra).
Mahmud of Ghazni raided India long before (1000-1027), while Timur (1398) and Babur (1526) invaded after Alauddin's reign, so they could not have been resisted by him.
