Alberuni’s India, translated and introduced by Edward C. Sachau, is a detailed exploration of India through the lens of the 11th-century scholar Al-Biruni (Ab?Ray??nMu?ammadibnA?mad al-B?r?n?). Originally written in Arabic as Ta?q?qm? li-l-Hind (meaning "Verifying All That the Indians Recount, the Reasonable and the Unreasonable"), this work offers a rare glimpse into the society, religion, science, and culture of medieval India from an outsider’s perspective.
