Account by Muslim polymath and traveller Alberuni (973-1048) of Indian political and social life in the medieval period.

Alberuni claims that his work is not polemical in nature, but a simple historical record of facts, and he commends the learning of the Hindus in philosophy, mathematics and astronomy.
