A History of Agriculture in India v2.c61.2

v2.c61.2

THE Muslim historians give detailed accounts of the victories of the Sultans, court intrigues, murders, quarrels and rebellions, but they do not mention what crops and fruit trees were grown by the Indians. The solitary record of crops and fruit-trees in the Sultanate period is by Ibn Battuta. When he entered the city of Sarsati (Sirsa), he mentions that it was a large town with quantities of rice of an excellent sort, which was exported to the capital, Delhi.
