This guy is a historian? https://twitter/DalrympleWill/status/527817062068924417 He seems unaware that Ibn Battuta who died in 1377 recorded that Hindu Kush got its name from the large #s of Hindu slaves who used to die while being transported abroad by Muslims. Timur invaded North India in 1398 while Battuta died in 1377, so how could Timurs invasion have given rise to the name? see: koenraadelst.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/meaning-of-hindu-kush.html … Either Willy doesnt know or he is lying
