Ghengis Kahn’s decedents ruled into the 20th century.
Where? The Qing/Manchus were Manchus not Mongols. The last Mughal ruler of any part of India was Bahadur Shah II, who was deposed in 1857, and he was descended from Timurlane, not Temujin/Ghengis Khan. Temujin was famous for bedding and raping his way through Asia and he had many, many children, and many of his children were rulers with large harems. 8% of Asians are descended from him, so I'm sure there are other leaders out there. I just can't think of any. I guess, that if you include female descendants of Ghengis Khan, you may be correct.

"Where"

I'll try to find it. I know I read it in "Ghengis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" by Jack Weatherford.
