History of the Qaraunah Turks in India c10.96

c10.96

Badaoni alone says that the Sultan sent them to Ghazni in exile, but afterwards recalled them thence and put them to death. Ranking, Al-Badāoni, I, p. 312. It is not clear on whose authority Badaoni says so. The author of the Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi simply says that they returned and were punished. Nizam-al-Din Ahmad and Firishta also say that they returned without permission. Barani's account is trustworthy. He is corroborated in material particulars by Ibn Batūtah and Nizam-al-Din who wrote prior to Badaoni.
