The writing of Delhi Sultanate in Indian history is a complex phenomenon today with total neglect of research and writing on the period. Almost nothing is being written on the period with the Mughal period hogging all the academic attention Mughals were replaced by the British and naturally were closer to the collective historical memory than the Delhi Sultanate. Another factor could be the availability of sources as most sources in Sultanate period are either not easily available and are hardly available in English. Both ways the researchers are not able to access the sultanate sources with ease. The nature of the sources is also such that they contain mostly information on state, war and the Muslim elite and they can be used for a very limited type of researches. Or least this has been argued by historians. It has often been suggested that the Sultanate sources are not varied and reliable to construct a dynamic history of those centuries.
