History of Muslim Rule in India

From time immemorial, the Indian sub-continent had constantly been attracting the avaricious attention of the invaders for its rich culture and wealth. With the advent of Islam Muslim invaders had their field day when they invaded India. With new hitherto unheard of warfare, Hindu kings fell like nine pins. Muslim rulers' might and their penchant for islam had started changing the religious contours of India. For the first time Indians had to subserve the interests of an alien ruler whose faith was also alien to them. Starting from Muhammad bin Qasim, Mahmud ofGhazni, Ghoriand Delhi Sultanates down to the Mughals Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shahjahan and Aurangzeb one can finr a detailed presentation of their rules in this work. Their idiosyncrasies, megalomaniac tendencies, amorous behaviours, administrative capabilities innovative approaches, utter callousness and brutality are detailed in this book. The book presents both the darker and brighter side of the rulers and the readers can be the judges.

A voracious reader and prolific writer, N Ramkumar is a history-buff and self-educated historian, despite the fact that he has never aspired to be on any teaching faculty. For him, history is not just a record of the past events, as he does not go by the official or popular version of history. With his meticulous attention to detail and relentless pursuit of knowledge, he delves deep into history and comes out with Truth which has been distorted, twisted and dictated by left-leaning historians and chroniclers of India's political and social history of a Hindu India. He has authored several books on subjects like history, literature and society. His book Living as Equals deals with the evolution of the caste system, boldly exposing its shortcomings in Hindu literature. His other works such as Harappa, Tamil Sangam, and Rig Veda continues to evoke the inquisitiveness of the reader, while paving the way for passing open judgments by the readers. He completed his education from Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamilnadu.
