Illustrations: 2 Maps Description: The Administration of the Sultanate of Dehli by Ishtiaq Husain Qureshi is a comprehensive work on this most important period of Indian history. It covers the period between A.D. 1206, when Qutb-ud-din Aibak ascended the throne, and A.D. 1555, when the last of the Surs, Sikandar Shah, was overthrown and Humayun, the Mughal emperor, re-established himself at Delhi. Unlike the other works on the subject, the Surs have been included under the purview of the work since the rule of the Surs was, technically, a ministration of the state. In fact, Sher Shah, the founder of the Sur dynasty, started anew the administrative machinery of the Sultanate. In this comprehensive study, the primary sources, the numismatic and epigraphic evidence and the relevant works on law, politics and statecraft have been fully utilized. In eleven chapters, details about the sovereign, the royal household, the ministers, finance, the army, justice and police, religious affairs, education and public works, provincial and local government and the spirit of the government have been discussed. A detailed bibliography with certain topics relevant to the subject make this book a work of permanent value to the students and the scholars alike.

This book provides an integrated view of the Delhi Sultanate government from 1206 to 1526. It is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the political events and the dynastic history of the Sultans and the second part with the administration, different land issues, social life including two major religious movements and other cultural aspects including architecture and sculpture. The growth of the city of Delhi has been shown here perhaps for the first time. Most of the books on Delhi Sultanate mainly narrate the political events. Here other aspects have been included to show the real character of the Sultanate. It may be mentioned that the English officials from the end of the eighteenth Century had termed the medieval period of India as a ‘dark age’ – a statement that has been accepted by several Indian writers. It is to negate this view that an integrated narrative has been provided here.

The Delhi Sultanate ruled northern India for over three centuries. The era, marked by the desecration of temples and construction of mosques from temple-rubble, is for many South Asians a lightning rod for debates on communalism, religious identity and inter-faith conflict. Using Persian and Arabic manuscripts, epigraphs and inscriptions, Fouzia Farooq Ahmad demystifies key aspects of governance and religion in this complex and controversial period. Why were small sets of foreign invaders and administrators able to dominate despite the cultural, linguistic and religious divides separating them from the ruled? And to what extent did people comply with the authority of sultans they knew very little about? By focusing for the first time on the relationship between the sultans, the bureaucracy and the ruled Muslim Rule in Medieval India outlines the practical dynamics of medieval Muslim political culture and its reception. This approach shows categorically that sultans did not possess meaningful political authority among the masses, and that their symbols of legitimacy were merely post hoc socio-cultural embellishments.Ahmad's thoroughly researched revisionist account is essential reading for all students and researchers working on the history of South Asia from the medieval period to the present day.
