The Sultanate of Delhi, 711–1526 A.D. c5.3

c5.3

The author is well aware of the imperfections of this volume, as the entire work was dictated to a stenographer. The plan of the book being what it is, repetitions could not be avoided. In fact, the concluding chapters, discussing in a connected manner the evolution of our medieval administrative, social and cultural institutions, could not but be summaries of the measures undertaken during the various reigns. In order to help the students to picture in their minds the evolution of institutions or the culmination of a career, it has been thought desirable to provide matter, as far as possible, in one place. The book is written in the simplest possible language so as to make it intelligible to our under-graduate students.
