Question

Do you think the authors of tawarikh would provide information about the lives of ordinary men and women

Answer 1

No. The authors of tawarikh did not provide information about ordinary men and women. This was because they wrote in expectation of rewards by the sultan.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, I don’t think because of the following reasons:

• The authors of tawarikh lived in cities (mainly Delhi) and hardly ever in villages.
• They often wrote their histories for Sultans in the hope of rich rewards.    They had nothing to do with common people.
• These authors advised rulers on the need to preserve an “ideal” social order based on birthright and gender distinctions. Their ideas were not shared by everybody.
