The history of pre-Mughal India has not received the attention 1f deserves. Except for a few text-book and some monographs, it still lies buried in the original sources. Long ago Vincent Aquila Smith wrote that ‘‘the reign of ‘Alauddin requires critical study in a separate monograph’’. The present work is an effort to satisfy the long felt need. It covers the study not only of the reign of ‘Aladddin but of the Khalji dynasty as a whole.

The historical material on the Sultanate Period is scanty, but whatever has been available to me in Arabic and Persian chronicles, in the accounts of travels and in the more recent works in English, Hindi and Urdu, I have tried my best to collect, sift and utilise. I have tried my utmost to be judicious in my conclusions, and have neither explained an act or policy to the extent of excusing, nor have I uncritically dispraised or blamed.

My study of the period has reduced the extent of Alauddin’s empire, and has removed to a very large extent the charge of bigotry so often levelled against him. I have arrived at the conclusion that the Khaljis belonged to the Turkish stock, and believe that the story of Padmini is nothing more than the growth of a legend. I have been able to throw some fresh light on the causes of the family quarrels of ‘Alaiddin, his first expedition into Devagiri, Ulugh Khan’s expedition to Gujarat and ‘Aladddin’s conquest of Jaisalmer. I have also given a sketch of the life, society and institutions of the early Mongols, and have brought out the causes of their successive invasions of India.
