Tarikh-i-Firozshahi
Tarikh-i-Firozshahi |
This famous
book was written by Ziauddin Barani who was the greatest historian of early
medieval India. He was born in A.D. 1285 in an aristocratic family. His father
Sayyad Muwaid-ul-Mulk was in the service of Balban, hence Barani was brought up
in the capital in a royal atmosphere. He received high education and was
appointed in a respectable position in the imperial court, under
Muhammad-bin-Tughluq. As Firoz Tughluq withdrew his patronage, Barani had to
pass his later life in a miserable way. He suffered poverty and died a
broken-hearted man in the Khanqah of Shaikh Nizamuddin Auliya.
History of
one century from A.D. 1259 to 1353 had been described in Tarikh-i-Firozshahi of
Barani. His book is a continuation of the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri as it begins from
where the book of Minhaj ends. Besides the political events, administration,
society, economy and justice have been described. It is an important source
material of medieval Indian history.
