Tarikh-i-Firoz Shahi
•Barani is the greatest of
all the contemporary historians of early medieval India, was
an exact contemporary of Ghiyasudheen Tughlaq.
•In fact, Barani was famous as the
elites of the Delhi Sultanate.
•His work, Tarikh-i-Firoze Shahi
preserves the history of the Delhi Sultanate for one full Century (from the
1250s-1350s).
•Work
started with Balban and
came down to the 6th
year of the reign of Firoz Sha.
•The
work was completed in 1359 AD and thus
was the most important work on the Khalji period, the reign of Muhammed and
a part of Firoz Sha Tughlaq.
•The
chief merit of the book is that, as the author held an important post in the
revenue department, he was fully acquainted with revenue administration, which
he has been described in details.
•Although
Barani knew the duties and responsibilities of a
historian, he was not free from prejudice.
•As a
member of the court, no doubt this work is considered to be a first rate
authority on subject.
