²⁴ Early in the seventeenth century, Muhammad Sharif Hanafi, the author of *Majalis-us-Salatin* (composed A.D. 1628) and a much travelled man, carried the same impression about the Southern region of the country. Writing about Carnatic he says: "all the people...are idolaters. There is not a single Musalman. Occasionally a Musalman may visit the country deputed by Nizam Shah, Adil Shah or Kutb Shah, but the natives are all infidels". E and D, VII, p. 139..
