Indo-Persian historiography

Indo-Persian historiography refers to the written history and narratives produced in Persian language and culture about India's history, especially during the Mughal period (16th-18th centuries). It combines Persian literary styles with local Indian events, highlighting political, cultural, and social developments. Persian historians often served court interests, blending fact with interpretation to shape perceptions of power and identity. This historiography played a key role in documenting India's rich history from a Persian-influenced perspective, influencing regional identity and cross-cultural understanding within South Asia.
