Book excerpt: Wonderfully well researched . . . engrossing, enlightening' The Hindu The Delhi Sultanate period (1206-1526) is commonly portrayed as an age of chaos and violence-of plundering kings, turbulent dynasties, and the aggressive imposition of Islam on India. But it was also the era that saw the creation of a pan-Indian empire, on the foundations of which the Mughals and the British later built their own Indian empires. The encounter between Islam and Hinduism also transformed, among other things, India's architecture, literature, music and food. Abraham Eraly brings this fascinating period vividly alive, combining erudition with powerful storytelling, and analysis with anecdote.
Book Synopsis The Sultanate of Delhi (1206-1526) by : Aniruddha Ray
Download or read book The Sultanate of Delhi (1206-1526) written by Aniruddha Ray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an integrated view of the Delhi Sultanate government from 1206 to 1526. It is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the political events and the dynastic history of the Sultans and the second part with the administration, different land issues, social life including two major religious movements and other cultural aspects including architecture and sculpture. The growth of the city of Delhi has been shown here perhaps for the first time. Most of the books on Delhi Sultanate mainly narrate the political events. Here other aspects have been included to show the real character of the Sultanate. It may be mentioned that the English officials from the end of the eighteenth Century had termed the medieval period of India as a ‘dark age’ – a statement that has been accepted by several Indian writers. It is to negate this view that an integrated narrative has been provided here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrations: 2 Maps Description: The Administration of the Sultanate of Dehli by Ishtiaq Husain Qureshi is a comprehensive work on this most important period of Indian history. It covers the period between A.D. 1206, when Qutb-ud-din Aibak ascended the throne, and A.D. 1555, when the last of the Surs, Sikandar Shah, was overthrown and Humayun, the Mughal emperor, re-established himself at Delhi. Unlike the other works on the subject, the Surs have been included under the purview of the work since the rule of the Surs was, technically, a ministration of the state. In fact, Sher Shah, the founder of the Sur dynasty, started anew the administrative machinery of the Sultanate. In this comprehensive study, the primary sources, the numismatic and epigraphic evidence and the relevant works on law, politics and statecraft have been fully utilized. In eleven chapters, details about the sovereign, the royal household, the ministers, finance, the army, justice and police, religious affairs, education and public works, provincial and local government and the spirit of the government have been discussed. A detailed bibliography with certain topics relevant to the subject make this book a work of permanent value to the students and the scholars alike.
Book Synopsis Turkish Slaves in Delhi Sultanate by : Caroline Mutuku
Download or read book Turkish Slaves in Delhi Sultanate written by Caroline Mutuku and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2017 in the subject History - Asia, grade: 1.2, , language: English, abstract: After the Mu’izz al-Din Ghuris Indian campaign and the consolidation of the conquered territory under his subordinates in the last decade of the twelfth century, the Turkish bandagan occupied many positions of influence and power in North India. Thus, when there emerged a politically paramount sultanate of Delhi under IItutmish, all the strategically important positions were given to the monarch’s senior slaves or the elite bandagan-I khass. By the end of IItutmish rule, the influence of the Turkish slave soldiers on the political structure of the sultanate administration was disproportionate to their social status (Al-Sahli, 2013). Although the Turkish slave soldiers had undergone traumatic alienation and been introduced to the Islamic faith as well as the decorum of the court as part of their training, their Turkish heritage remained unchanged. To a large extent, the early Delhi sultans, who were of Turkish origins created in their slaves the Turkish identity in order to create new bonds and identities through the process of divesting the slaves from their old relations. Scholars have noted that the sultans deliberately gave their slaves Turkish names rather than Arabic ones which would have been in tandem with the Islamic faith which they professed (Kumar, 2009). A shared Turkish ethnicity was used to reinforce the bonds between the slave soldiers and the sultan; however, it did not imply that they alienate the non-Turkish slaves. Thus, the slave soldiers were an integral part of the reproduction and sustenance of the authority of the Delhi sultanate.

Book Synopsis Symbols of Authority in Medieval Islam by : Blain H Auer
Download or read book Symbols of Authority in Medieval Islam written by Blain H Auer and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the execution of the Abbasid caliph in Al-Musta'sim in 1258, Sunni authority and legitimacy in Baghdad began to disintegrate, and the recently established Delhi Sultanate became a new focus for the development of Muslim societies amidst a global shift in Islamic authority. Here Blain Auer investigates the ways three historians living in India during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Minhaj Siraj Juzjani, Ziya' al-Din Barani and al-Din Siraj 'Afif, narrated the religious values of Muslim sovereigns through the process of history writing. Aiding the project of empire building, these historians and intellectuals drew up an idea of an Islamic heritage that invented and reinterpreted conceptions of a historically rooted Muslim authority. With fresh insights on the intersections between religion, politics and historiography, this book will be indispensable for all those interested in Islamic studies, history, religion, politics and South Asia.

Book Synopsis Composite Culture Under the Sultanate of Delhi by : I. H. Siddiqui
Download or read book Composite Culture Under the Sultanate of Delhi written by I. H. Siddiqui and published by Primus Books. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the cultural orientation of the sultanate of Delhi, a subject on which little work has been done so far. The architects of the sultanate introduced a new system of governance with novel social and cultural institutions, and Persian as an official language. These were significant moves as they served as catalysts for social change. Alongside, the emergence of new urban centres as well as setting up of colonies of foreign immigrants from lands of more advanced culture in the old towns led to the transfiguration of culture in the sultanate. Structurally, it is divided into three parts. The first explores the role played by the metropolis of Delhi as an integrating nucleus, and examines the cultural and social relationship between Hindus and Muslims, and the intellectual and diplomatic atmosphere of the times. The second part focuses on the nature of the relationship between the sultans of Delhi and the Mongol rulers of Central Asia. The third part examines the life and position of women and the attitude of different classes of society towards their women folk during the sultanate period. As in his earlier works, the author marshals an impressive array of sources to underline his argument and offers a paradigm shift from conventional historiography, and in doing so opens up vistas for further research in the history and culture of the sultanate period.
