Baghdad 1258: How Hulagu Khan Ended Abbasid Rule | Hindi Documentary

How did Baghdad, a celebrated centre of knowledge and learning, lose its place as the Abbasid capital? This historical documentary explores the fall of Baghdad in 1258—from its beginnings as the “City of Peace” to Hulagu Khan’s arrival, the failed negotiations, and the end of Caliph al-Musta’sim’s rule. Discover the scholars, translators and bookmakers who helped shape Baghdad’s intellectual legacy. Follow the decisions surrounding the Mongol siege and learn what the conquest meant for the city’s people. We also examine the famous story of the Tigris turning black with ink, distinguish historical evidence from later legends, and explore how learning continued after the conquest.
