One day when Tughluk Timur Khn was feeding his dogs with swine's
flesh, Shaikh Jaml-ud-Din was brought into his presence. The Khn
said to the Shaikh: "Are you better than this dog or is the dog
better than you?" The Shaikh replied: "If I have faith I am the
better of the two, but if I have no faith this dog is better than I
am." The Khn was much impressed by these words, and a great love
for Islm took possession of his heart. -from Part I: Chapter 1:
"Beginning of the Tarikh-I-Rashidi" When the history of the Moghuls
of Central Asia, which covered several tumultuous centuries, was in
danger of being lost entirely, one of its players, the military
general and ruler of Kashmir MIRZA MUHAMMAD HAIDAR DUGHLAT
(1499-1551), took it upon himself to write it down. The result was
the legendary Tarikh-i-Rashidi, and this 1893 work-from the all-but
anonymous "N. Elias and E. D. Ross"-represents the first full
translation into English of one of the great firsthand documents of
global history. Elias and Ross's extensive introduction puts the
work itself in its historical context and begins to present us with
the world it depicts, one of strife and adventure. The grand story
that follows is one of kings and invasions told with enormous pride
by a participant in the very history we are witnessing. Little
known outside academic circles but vital for understanding how
Central Asia was shaped, this is an extraordinary work of history.
