The pre-Moghul Muslim presence in the subcontinent holds significant importance from various perspectives. During this period, the foundation of an efficient administration was established, with Ala-ud-Din Khalji playing a pivotal role. His administration not only ensured the prosperity of his subjects, but also kept the treasury well-stocked. Under his rule, literature, art, architecture and public morality reached new heights. It is a lamentable irony that we lack an accurate and detailed historical record of the achievements of such a great ruler. Unfortunately, Sultan Ala-ud-Din has not always been relatively portrayed by historians for various reasons. This book, with its scholarly approach, seeks to present an accurate representation of this remarkable Sultan. Dr Niazi has carefully reviewed the accounts of all known contemporary and early writers. Based on authentic and widely accepted facts from these sources, he offers a portrayal of the Sultan that stands apart from traditional narratives. The fresh perspective in this work reflects a deep scholarly understanding and erudition of the subject, promising to stimulate the intellect of the reader.

Dr Ghulam Sarwar Khan Niazi is a renowned historian, scholar and author, celebrated for his detailed research in South Asian history. His expertise is prominently showcased in this acclaimed book, The Life and Works of Sultan Ala-ud-Din Khalji, which offers a comprehensive exploration of one of India's most potent and transformative rulers. Through meticulous analysis, Dr Niazi skillfully navigates challenges such as language barriers, historical context and personal biases, providing a nuanced and balanced portrayal of Sultan Ala-ud-Din Khalji's character, achievements and legacy. His work sustains as a significant contribution to the understanding of medieval Indian history.
