Author Info: Mahomed Kasim Ferishta, a Persian historian was born at Astrabad on the borders of Caspian Sea in 1570 AD. He came to Bijapur in 1589 and spent remainder of his life under the immediate protection of Ibrahim Adil Shah II, who commissioned him to write the general history of the Mohammedans in India. Contemporary scholars and historians variously write that the works of Ferishta drew from Tabaqat-i-Akbari by Nizamud-din, Tarikh-i-Rashidi by Mirza Haider and Baraniâs Tarikh. Ferishta's account is the most widely quoted history of the Adil Shahi, and is the only source of information about the Ottoman origin of Yusuf Adil Shah, the founder of the Adil Shahi dynasty. Ferishtaâs account continues to be a very popular story and has found wide acceptance. The best as well as the most complete translation is the one by John Briggs.
