Question
With reference to the sources of information about the Delhi Sultanate, give the significance of the following:
Inscriptions
Solution
Inscriptions: These are valuable supplements and not the sole sources of information on the Delhi Sultanate. The inscriptions are found on coins, monuments, milestones, and tombstones. Some of the inscriptions are in Sanskrit, some in Arabic and some in both the languages. For example, the first coin issued by Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khilji bears both Arabic and Sanskrit inscriptions. Similarly, the famous traveler Ibn Batuta noticed a commemorative inscription in the Jama Masjid in Delhi, which he deciphered.
