The Legacy of Muslim Rule in India c6.s1.2

c6.s1.2

This historical material has certain peculiarities. Firstly, medieval Muslim chroniclers wrote with a strong religious bias. To some belief in the superiority of the Islamic faith was an obsession, to others it appeared as a patent fact. Therefore, whenever they referred to non-Muslims, they did not fail to use the most uncomplimentary epithets against them. It is sometimes argued that theirs was just a style of writing and no serious notice should be taken of their choice of words. But the manner of their writing surely reflects their psyche.
