chatanga1 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Tahmas Miskin wrote this book about Panjab's history covering the years from around 1748 to 1765.Does anybody know if there are any copies of this online? Have looked but haven't been able to find anything.There is one copy in the British Library, may be the original, but otherwise there is no info about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Have you checked Grewal and Habib's Sikh history in Persian sources? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Grewal and Habib just give the Sikh related content. I was thinking of the whole text. Amardeep, the writers name is Tahmas Khan, his takhalas is Miskin.Grewal/Habibs' book tells us there is a manuscript in Lahore, and a copy in Aligarh Uni library. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one in Khalsa College library. I would love to see this library. Going to try next I go Panjab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 wouldn't know where to start. I can read Urdu/Farsi script in printed form to the standard of a ten year old. But am quite lucky to have an Iranian friend who helps me with harder Persian stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
