Al Biruni's Kitab-ul-Hind was written in ______.
Arabic
The correct answer is Arabic.
While Mahmud's interactions with India were primarily military and economic, Al Biruni's interest was intellectual and scholarly. He spent years residing in India, interacting with local scholars, and studying Indian texts and practices firsthand. This dedication allowed him to produce the detailed and relatively unbiased account found in Kitab-ul-Hind . His mastery of Sanskrit and his deep understanding of Indian thought systems set his work apart from accounts by other contemporary Muslim historians who relied on secondary information.
