Composite Culture under the Sultanate of Delhi, By Iqtidar Husain Siddiqui.

Hard Bound With flap Cover, 206 Pages, 

This book gives the cultural orientation of the sultanate of Delhi, a subject on which little work has been done so far. The architects of the sultanate introduced a new system of governance with novel social and cultural institutions, and Persian as an official language. The were significant moves as they served as catalysts for social change. Alongside, the emergence of new urban centres as well as the setting up of colonies of foreign immigrants from lands of more advanced culture in the old town led to the transfiguration of culture in the sultanate. Thus, this book examines those aspects of culture and have hitherto not been paid adequate attention.
