Description

This book provides a political history of north India under Afghan rulers in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.

Focusing on interconnections between religion and politics, it also raises questions of paramount concern to an understanding of Islam in medieval north India.

The book is divided into three sections. The first section explores the Afghan attempts at empire-building under the leadership of Sher Shah Sur.

Discussing the incorporation of the Rajputs in the Afghan imperial project, the second part deals with the prevalent ideals and institutions of governance.

The last segment investigates the social and political role of the Sufis.

Questioning the overemphasis on the Sultanate and Mughal periods in Indian history writing, Aquil projects a dynamic view of the Afghan period.
