"In his History of Mediaeval India (1925) written for Indian college students, Professor Ishwari Prasad devotes himself mainly to political history, sees the political issues of the medieval period indeed in terms of Hindu-Muslim relations and betrays pride in the resilience of Hindu culture under Muslim political domination ; but the latter had merits over that of the British as the Muslims made their per- manent home in India and did not drain the wealth of the country abroad."
