Arabic, Persian and Urdu Inscriptions of West India

From Jatland Wiki
Arabic, Persian and Urdu Inscriptions of West India (Hardcover) Book by Dr. Ziyaud-Din Abdul-Hayy Desai

About the Book :

The List is mainly based on the official epigraphical publications of the Archaeological Survey of India, like Annual Reports on Indian epigraphy, Epigraphia Indo-Moslemica and its continuation Epigraphia Indica Arabic and Persian Supplement, reports of the State archaeological departments, private publications in Persian and Urdu including periodicals and journals, not easily available to scholars and research students. It provides the most important but sadly neglected source-material for medieval history.

Apart from providing a comprehensive list of more than 2,000 inscriptions from West Indian states of Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, its topographical list of places and nine exhaustive indexes-States, Districts, Dates, Dynasties, Kings, Persons, Findsports, Subjects and Buildings, Places, Professions, Terms, etc. mentioned in the epigraphs-will enable one to immediately lay his hand on an inscription of any place, and date, any dynasty, any king, total inscriptions from a district, a state, of a dynasty, a king, etc.

The List can truly claim to be a very useful tool for researchers in the multi-dimensional history of medieval India.

About the Author :

Dr. Ziyaud-Din Abdul-Hayy Desai (b. 18 May 1925) has had an exceptionally brilliant career throughout topping the list of successful candidates at the B.A. and M.A. examinations of the undivided Bombay University. After teaching Persian at University level for about six years, he joined the Archaeological Survey of India as the head of its Perso-Arabic epigraphy section in 1953 and finally retired as Director (Epigraphy) after a distinguished career of three decades.

During his tenure, thousands of inscriptions were copied from all over India and listed in the Annual Reports on Indian Epigraphy and hundred of them published with texts, English translations, historical notes and facsimiles in the Epigraphia Indica Arabic and Persian Supplement of which he edited twenty bulky issues.

Dr. Desai is the author of a dozen and a half works and more than 350 articles on Indo-Muslim history, art, architecture and numismatics, Indo-Persian literature, old Urdu (Gujarati language), etc. He is currently engaged in the History of Shah Jahan in the words of his court historians.
