Book: Alberuni’s India:an Account Of The Religion, Philosophy, Literature, Geography, Chronology, Astronomy, Customs, Laws And Astrology Of India About A.d.1030 It was in 1017 AD, at the behest of Sultan Muhmud of Persia, that Alberuni, aka Al-Biruni, travelled to India to learn about the Hindus, and to discuss with them questions of religion, science, and literature, and the very basis of their civilisation. He stayed in India for thirteen years, studying and exploring. Alberuni’s scholarly work has not been given the due recognition it deserves. Not for nearly eight hundred years would any other writer match his profound understanding of almost all aspects of Indian life.
