About Book - Zafarnamah, Rauzat-us-Safa and Habib-us-Siyar are three great reliable Persian sources on Amir Timur Gurgan and his successors, who ruled in Central Asia from the later half of the Fourteenth to Sixteenth Centuries.
The present book contains the English translation of Habib-us-Siyar dealing with the rise and fall of the successors of Amir Timur Gurgan during the Fifteenth Century and is a very authentic and reliable account.
The mentality, outlook, doings and ways of lives of these Moghul rulers of Central Asia and their nobles depicted here help us better to understand the rise and fall of the Mughal Empire in India.
