History of the Rise of the Mahomedan Power in India, till the Year AD 1612 - Ferishta, Mahomed Kasim

This four-volume work, published in 1829, was the first major English translation of Persian chronicler Ferishta's monumental history of the Muslim presence in India. Notable as the most reliable of contemporary accounts of the Mughal empire, Ferishta's seventeenth-century work is a valuable source on life in India before British colonisation.
