Description
Excerpt from The History of India, Vol. 1: By Its Own Historians; The Muhammadan Period
The great objection to this arrangement in an his torical work is that it separates, more than necessary, materials relating to the same person and the same sub jcet. Thus the Tarikh-i Bade''u''mi of ''abdu - l Kadir is particularly valuable for the details it gives of the reign and character of Akbar under whom the writer lived. But this is a general history, and so would be far removed from the akbar-rama of Abl''i-l Fazl, which is a special history comprising only the reign of Akbar. A simple chronological succession, irrespective of the general or special character of the different works, seems with the single exception of the Sindian writers to be the most convenient historical arrangement, and it will therefore be adopted in the subsequent volumes. This plan will not entirely obviate the objection above noticed, but it will tend greatly to its diminution.
