عہد سلاطین کے فارسی تاریخ نگاروں کی تاریخ نگاری کا مختصر جائزہ

Abstract

It is a fact that prior to the rule of Muslims, the subcontinent Indo-Pakistan did not know about the Art of Historiography. The Salateen-e-Dehli and their related Ulema-e-Tareekh got the honor of introducing this art in the subcontinent, in Persian language, as they belonged to Central Asia. Although, the Muslims started this art during the period of Holy Prophet and Sahabah-e-karam preserved the history of Ghazwat and Ahadees, in their hearts and written scripts, but after Sahabah this art was promoted to peak by Tabaeen, TabaTabaeen and their next generations. The rule of Salateen has unique distinction that the Muslim historians became leader and founder of History of subcontinent. They also translated rich Arabic history into Persian. Another distinction 0f historiography during this rule is that while covering Muslim society, it also throws light on the impact of the Hinduism and Buddhism. AlBeruni, Ibne Batoota, Hasan Nizami, Ameer Khusro, Ziauddin Burni, Shams Siraj Afeef, and other prominent historians played very important role in historiography of the subcontinent. In the following article the work of these great historians has been examined and summarized.
