History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c5.20

c5.20

The casual remark of Barani that ‘Alāuddīn spent one whole year on the expedition does not seem to be correct and lacks corroboration in other contemporary writings. Discussing the siege of Ranthambhor Barani again writes that the siege of the fort lasted for one year (p. 279) while Khusrau gives definite dates. Barani’s dates are generally faulty.
