The Foundation of Muslim Rule in India: A History of the Establishment and Progress of the Turkish Sultanate of Delhi, 1206–1290 A.D. c5.28

c5.28

What should prove, when published, a documentary source of first-rate importance, is an original *firman* of the Shansabani conqueror, Muizzuddin Muhammad b. Sam, now in the possession of Mr. Hasan Barani, advocate of Bulandshahr, United Provinces. It purports to confer offices and grant lands in settling the administration of Baran after its conquest from Chander Sen, the Dor raja, and is dated 588 A.H. Mr. Barani has promised its early publication; in the meantime he was kind enough to enable the author to see the document and has, at his request, very courteously furnished an abstract of its contents, printed as an appendix to the present work.
