Book Description

About the Book "Sher Shah" by John Dowson is a biographical work that chronicles the life and achievements of Sher Shah Suri, the 16th-century ruler of the Sur Empire in India. Dowson provides a detailed account of Sher Shah's rise to power, military conquests, administrative reforms, and his significant impact on Indian history. This book offers valuable insights into the political dynamics and socio-cultural milieu of medieval India under Sher Shah's rule.

About the Author John Dowson (1820-1881) was a British historian and linguist renowned for his expertise in medieval Persian literature and Central Asian studies. His translations and annotations of Persian texts provided valuable insights into the region's history and culture. Dowson's scholarly contributions continue to be highly regarded in the field of Oriental studies.

Preface THIS work was written by order of the Emperor Akbar,. and its author bestowed upon it the title 'Tuhfat-i Akbar Shahni; but Ahmad Yadgar, who wrote the 'Tarikh-i Salatin-i Afghana' a few years afterwards, calls it the 'Tarikh-i Sher Shahi, and so it continues to be known. The author of the work was 'Abbas Khan, son of Shaikh 'Ali Sarwani. Nothing is known of the author beyond the little which he incidentally mentions in the course of the work, that he was connected by marriage with the family of Sher Shah, and so had peculiar sources of information as to the life and character of that adventurous and successful chief, whose craft and valour won a crown. 'Abbas Khan certainly had high connexions, but he attained no great distinction in his own person. He received the command of 500 horse from the Emperor Akbar, of which, by the intrigues of his enemies, he was soon deprived. This so wounded his feelings that he resolved to "return to the country of his fathers." But the Khan Khanan took com-passion on him, and being informed of his own history and that of his ancestors, procured for him "a clear 200 rupees a month", which he appears to have lost soon afterwards. The work is valuable as the production of a contemporary writer who had excellent means of obtaining in-formation, although its literary merit is but slender. It is a biography, not a history, and its method is one that requires a vigorous and versatile writer.
