Description
This work, originally written in Persian and dating back to 1606 AD, has come to be regarded as a classic and still maintains a high place as an authority.
The author, Mohamed Kasim Shah Ferishta, a noted Persian historian, has tried to give a true account of the sovereigns of Delhi and of the Bahmuny kings of the Deccan. He also wrote in detail the histories of all the other Mohomedan princes who held independent sway in India during the 17th century. He wrote facts in simple language. "The History of the Rise of the Mohamedan Power in India" (in 4 volumes bound in 2) is the honest performance of the author.
Ferishta presented the first draft of his history to Ibrahim Adil Shah in 1606 AD and spent the rest of his life in revising it. The work has come to be regarded as a classic and still maintains a high place as an authority.
