History of the Punjab - Volume III

History of the Punjab, Volume III examines the region during the Delhi Sultanate period, from approximately A.D. 1000 to 1526. This era brought major political, religious, social and cultural changes that profoundly influenced the subsequent history of Punjab.

Written by a distinguished group of historians, the volume traces the Ghaznavid and Ghurid invasions, the Khalji and Tughlaq administrations, Timur’s invasion and the rule of the Sayyids and Lodis. It also examines government institutions, political thought, religious practices, social and economic conditions, and the development of language and literature.

The concluding chapters explore the cultural interaction between Hindu and Muslim communities and the reformist traditions that emerged during the period, including the teachings and travels of Guru Nanak.
