Promotion of Learning in India during Muhammadan Rule (by Muhammadans) c2.2

c2.2

The work, as its title indicates, relates to the promotion of learning and not to the quality of the learning. It is generally stated, though not on unreasonable grounds, that India was devoid of Muhammadan scholarship of the type found in the centres of Muslim learning outside India, and that the Muhammadan literati of India lagged far behind the scholars of such places as Baghdād, Dimashq, Cairo, Cordova, Makkah, Shīrāz, Samarqand, etc.
