If history relies upon written records produced by city-based literati, nomadic societies will always receive a hostile representation". Do you agree with this statement? Does it explain the reason why Persian chronicles produced such inflating figures of casualties resulting from Mongol campaigns?
Answers
Yes, I agree with the statement that the nomadic society used to plunder the cities. That’s why city based societies always hated them. The same thing is applicable on Persian chronicles. They produced inflated figures of causalities resulting from Mongol campaigns which prove their cruelty as cruel assassins. Due to the transcontinental span of the Mongol Empire the sources were written in different languages.

Answer:
“If history relies upon written records produced by city-based literati, nomadic societies will always receive a hostile representation”.
This is a True statement.
Explanation:
The given statement is True because:
a. The records which are there in history have always emerged from settles societies. So, their perspective about the nomadic people is completely different. So, city-based societies have never liked the nomadic societies.

c. Similarly, Persian chronicles also produced exaggerated figures of casualties as a result of Mongol campaigns to show that they were cruel killers.
