    The present volume deals with the history of Islam in India from its first appearance in the eighth century A.D. to the fall of the Mughal Empire in the eighteenth century A.D. The back ground of Hindu India has not been lost sight of. While principally concerned with the political history of the Cresent in India, I have not ignored its social and cultural aspects. Readers will, perhaps, find that I have essayed inter pretentions at places which may not be quite in agreement with the views of more profound scholars than myself. But I have written with the conviction that 'History must from time to time be re-written, not because new facts have been discovered, but because new aspects come into view, because the participant in the progress of an age is led to stand-points from which the past can be regarded and judged in a novel manner.

    • PREFACE

      This brief study of Medieval Indian History has been designed to meet the requirements of under-graduates in our Colleges. It is to be considered as no more than an Introduction to a subject which has been attracting increasing attention of late in our Universities. The theme is as fascinating as it is vast. At every step, the temptation to follow up its diverse ramifications has been resisted to attain lucidity even at the risk of what scholars might consider a lack of fullness. This dominating desire will also explain the economy of footnotes. But 1 has given sufficient references in the text to indicate my sources. More detailed documentation for the latter. part of this work will be found in my Mughal Empire in India of which it is an abridgement. The earlier portion has been written here for the first time.

      The present volume deals with the history of Islam in India from its first appearance in the eighth century A.D. to the fall of the Mughal Empire in the eighteenth century A.D. The background of Hindu India has not been lost sight of. While principally concerned with the political history of the Crescent in India, I have not ignored its social and cultural aspects. Readers will perhaps find that I have essayed interpretations at places that may not be quite in agreement with the views of more profound scholars than myself. But I have written with the conviction that History must from time to time be re-written, not because new facts have been discovered, but because new aspects come into view because the participant in the progress of age is led to stand-points from which the past can be regarded and judged in a novel manner. With what result is for others than me to judge I shall be satisfied if this study acts as an appetizer.

      My indebtedness to the various writers named in the text is great, and I acknowledge the same with gratitude.
