Mediaeval India Under Mohammedan Rule AD 712 to 1764 is a comprehensive historical account of the period of Muslim rule in India, spanning over a thousand years from the arrival of the first Arab conquerors in 712 AD until the decline of the Mughal Empire in the mid-18th century. Written by the renowned British historian and Arabist, Stanley Lane-Poole, the book covers the political, social, cultural, and economic developments of the period, as well as the religious and intellectual movements that shaped the Muslim world in India.The book begins with an overview of the early Arab invasions and the establishment of the first Muslim dynasties in India, including the Ghaznavids, the Ghurids, and the Slave Kings. It then traces the rise of the Delhi Sultanate and the subsequent Mughal Empire, highlighting the achievements of notable rulers such as Akbar, Jahangir, and Aurangzeb, as well as the challenges they faced from rival dynasties, rebellions, and foreign invasions.Throughout the book, Lane-Poole explores the complex interactions between the Muslim rulers and the diverse cultures and religions of India, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. He also delves into the intellectual and artistic achievements of the period, from the development of Urdu literature and the Mughal school of painting to the construction of grand mosques and mausoleums.Drawing on a wide range of primary sources and secondary scholarship, Mediaeval India Under Mohammedan Rule AD 712 to 1764 provides a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most fascinating periods in Indian history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of India, the Muslim world, or the interactions between different cultures and religions.1903.
