The period from the 13th to the 17th century in Bharat witnessed profound political, cultural, and social changes. Understanding this era requires careful attention to both literary and historical texts that provide insight into the rise and fall of kingdoms, the administration of empires, cultural synthesis, and the interactions with foreign powers. Textual sources from this period are diverse, ranging from chronicles and court histories to travel accounts, inscriptions, and religious literature, each offering a different perspective on historical developments. One of the most significant categories of texts for this period is the Persian chronicles, primarily produced in the courts of the Delhi Sultanate and later the Mughal Empire. Among these, the works of Ziauddin Barani, such as the *Tarikh-i-Firoz Shahi* (written in the 14th century), provide a detailed account of the Delhi Sultanate, particularly the reigns of Alauddin Khalji and Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Barani’s work is invaluable for understanding the political strategies, economic policies, and social conditions of the time. Similarly, Amir Khusrau, a contemporary poet and historian, wrote extensively in Persian, blending literary and historical narratives. His writings, including *Khazain-ul-Futuh*, offer a firsthand perspective on courtly life, military campaigns, and the patronage of arts under rulers like Alauddin Khalji and Muhammad bin Tughlaq. For the later Sultanate period, the *Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi* by Yahya bin Ahmad Sirhindi and the *Tabaqat-i-Nasiri* by Minhaj-i-Siraj are critical sources. The *Tabaqat-i-Nasiri*, completed in the 13th century, is one of the earliest comprehensive histories of Muslim rule in India, providing insight into political events, administrative structures, and socio-economic conditions during the Delhi Sultanate. These texts collectively allow historians to reconstruct the governance mechanisms, military organization, and cultural policies of the sultanate rulers. The Mughal period, beginning in the early 16th century with Babur’s conquest of northern India, is rich in literary documentation. Babur himself authored the *Baburnama*, a memoir written
