I like approaching new regions and epochs of #history through well-researched #HistoricalNovels.
In the case of #Temüjin who became #Genghis Khan and his heirs, I can recommend the fascinating 4 books of #ConnIggulden's #Conqueror Series: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conqueror_(novel_series)You can check them out at the #InternetArchive, which could use some donations in its legal battles against the media multinationals.

Thanks for sharing this.
Being an admirer of #GenghisKhan, I had read about his descendant's conquest of #India. (Though by far not as in-depth as you.)I was therefore appalled about this #censorship by the #ModiGovernment.
I'm not sure if you got my repost, but you might want to dig deeper, alas, it does make sense from a political point of view (there are at least 3 layers of chiefly geopolitical threads by now):

...seen in the West, as society is much more homogenous (I am aware of the big social divide b/w cities and the countryside, but still).
This as a starting point for #China.
(I can really recommend #TheEconomist's podcast series on China, like #DrumTower and the biography of President #Xi.)

...#CCP is now even able to control the narratives on all social and other media within the #GreatFirewallOfChina, not only apply effective #centureship. They even have been using #Orwellian #ThoughtControl techniques, prohibiting the use of certain words, sometimes temporarily.

Yes, if there weren't so many other books unread, I'd re-read the series about the first #Mongol #khans again anytime.If you'd like to have a more personal prospective, there is a #podcast miniseries done by natives. The #English is a bit difficult to understand in some episodes, but that other, additional perpective made it worthwhile, I think.
BTW, there is a transcript.
