Alberuni's Tahaqiq-i-Hind

Alberuni, the famous historian of medieval period, wrote this book in Arabic. Its English translation was done by C. Saachau. Later on, Rajini Kant Sharma translated it into Hindi. Alberuni was born in the territory of Khiva. When Mahmood Ghaznavi conquered his native land Khiva in A.D. 1017 he was one of the war prisoners but soon he was released and permitted to lead a free life. Mahmood’s invasions pertured is mind so much that he refused to live in Ghazni, nor did he accept my job in th Sultanate. Soon he left Ghazni and travelled along with invading armies of Mahmood as a freelance observer. During Mahamood’s Indian invasions Alberuni was with him. He studied Sanskrit and wrote the accounts of the country, entitled Tahqiq-i-Hind, one of his most significant works.

This book is an authentic primary source of information about the socio-religious condition of India and her cultural heritage. He also analyzed in a proper way the reasons of defeat of the Hindus. He best utilized the Sanskrit sources to prove his viewpoint. He has painted an impartial picture of the contemporary political, social, economic and religious conditions of India.
