The correct answer is Chenghiz Khan. While he reached the banks of the Indus River in pursuit of the Khwarazmian ruler Jalal-ud-din, he did not cross the river in significant force to launch a full-scale invasion or attack on India itself.

Chenghiz Khan’s presence near the Indus threatened the Delhi Sultanate under Iltutmish, but a large-scale invasion was averted.

Mongol invasions and raids into India, crossing the Indus, became more frequent under subsequent Mongol leaders like Tair Bahadur, Abdullah, and Qutlugh Khwaja during the reigns of various Delhi Sultans like Alauddin Khalji and the Tughluqs.
