Description

Wonderfully well researched engrossing, enlightening--- The Hindu The Delhi Sultanate period (1206-1526) is commonly portrayed as an age of chaosand violence-of plundering kings, turbulent dynasties, and the aggressive imposition of Islam on India. But it was also the era that saw the creation of a pan-Indian empire, on the foundations of which the Mughals and the British later built their own Indian empires. The encounter between Islam and Hinduism also transformed,among other things, Indias architecture, literature, music and food. Abraham Eraly brings this fascinating period vividly alive, combining erudition with powerful storytelling, andanalysis with anecdote.
