The political chronicles of the Delhi Sultanate are among the most important literary sources for reconstructing the political history of medieval India. Written mainly in Persian, these chronicles were generally composed by court historians, administrators, religious scholars, and intellectuals associated with ruling elites. They provide information about the establishment and expansion of the Sultanate, succession struggles, wars, administrative measures, rebellions, court politics, and relations between rulers and nobles. However, their usefulness is accompanied by significant limitations arising from their political, religious, and aristocratic perspectives. One of the earliest important chronicles is Minhaj-us-Siraj Juzjani’s *Tabaqat-i-Nasiri*, written during the reign of Nasiruddin Mahmud. It covers the history of the Ghurids and the early Delhi Sultans, particularly the Slave dynasty. Minhaj provides valuable information about Iltutmish, Razia, Balban, Mongol invasions, and the political structure
