The Life and Works of Sultan Alauddin Khalji
The Pre-Moghul Muslim Presence In The Sub-Continent Is Very Important From Many Angles. In This Phase The Basic Structure Of An Efficient Administ¬Ration Evolved And From This Point Of View Alaudin Khilji Holds A Cardinal Importance. His Administration Result¬Ed In The Prosperity Of His Subjects And Kept His Treasury Filled. Literature And Learning, Art And Architecture And Public Morality Reached A New Peak.It Is A Deplorable Irony Of Time That We Do Not Possess An Accurate And Detailed Historical Record Of The Achievements Of Such A Great Ruler.
