(Redirected from Tarikh-e-Sher Shah Suri)
The Tarikh-i-Sher Shahi (Urdu: تاریخ شير شاہ سوری) (history of Sher Shah) dating 1580 CE, is a historical work compiled by Abbas Khan Sarwani,[1] a waqia-navis under Mughal Emperor Akbar, detailing the rule of Sher Shah Suri. The work was commissioned by Akbar to provide detailed documentation about Sher Shah's administration - Akbar's father Humayun had been defeated by Sher Shah.[2]
Abbas wrote the Tarik-i Sher Shahi using his own local cultural style not in the style and language of standard Persian.[3]
Modern historiography
The history of medieval India has benefited greatly from this compilation, thanks to the efforts of K. Qanungo, H. Haig, A. Rahim and I. Siddiqui.[4]
