The Tarikh-I-Rashidi of Mirza Muhammad Haidar, Dughlat - Dughlat Muhammad Haidar

Another short section of the Tarikh-i - Bashidi is found in Elliot's History of India told by its Own Authors - a work that consists of extracts (by various translators) from Asiatic writers, only when these relate to the history of India. The translation, in this instance, is by Professor Dawson, and com prises the one episode of the battle of Kanauj in 1540, when the Afghans, under Shir Shah, won for a time the ao-called Moghul Empire of Hindustan. But even this has not been given in full: only the actual account of the battle being thought necessary, by the editor, as an illustration of the events of the period, while some rather lengthy passages, con taining the author's views of the policy to be adopted by the Moghuls at that critical moment, have been omitted.
