Descrizione

About the Book:-This rare discourse is intended only for the general reader, or the traveller in India, and was written in the hope of making some of these realize a little of the fascination of the history of India, published in 1912. A very lively account of the fortunes, both waxing and waning, of the city of Delhi under the Islamic invaders and dynasties. Written in the form of a story it traces the inception of the city and its progresses under various dynasties. Prefaced by a short mythological sketch of the city, the narrative begins with the invasion of Ghazni from AD 1000 and since then, how Delhi was the centre of a succession of mighty empires and powerful kingdoms. Due to its strategic location the successive rulers made Delhi its capital – the Delhi Sultanate, the Tughlak kings, the Lodis, the Mughals. The book takes us through the brief history of these dynasties. The illustrations are reproduced by permission from drawings and miniatures in the India office. The portraits of Timur are merely conventional. This book is informative on the historical point of view.
