Summary: The history and culture of the Indian people, particularly during the Delhi Sultanate period, has been enriched through numerous literary sources, including works by renowned authors like Amir Khusrav and Mushtaqi. These chronicles provide a detailed account of the Muslim conquest of India and the transitions within the ruling dynasties. The incorporation of historical themes in prose and poetry by these authors has significantly contributed to the understanding of the political history of the era. The inclusion of personal sources and first-hand experiences in some accounts, such as Mushtaqi’s “Wagqi‘at-i-Mushtaqi,” ensures a more authentic narrative of Afghan rulers in India. The translations and interpretations of these works by scholars like Habib and Mirza have shed light on the life and works of significant personalities like Amir Khusrav, further enhancing the understanding of medieval Indo-Persian literature and culture and the influence of Sufi mysticism in Indian society.
