Promotion of Learning in India during Muhammadan Rule (by Muhammadans) c10.309

c10.309

Another college was at Fīrūzābād and known as Fīrūz-Shāhī-Madrasah. Its brilliant description by Barnī gives us to understand that both in literary reputation and in the beauty of its architecture and finish, it far surpassed all the other Indian madrasahs of the time. Indeed, it is no wonder that Fīrūz Shāh in his love for his new capital and his zeal for the cause of learning should gather up and use all the vast resources he could command as an Emperor to found a college in which nothing would be left to be desired either in external splendour or in the internal arrangements for its inmates.
