This paper examines the historiographical significance of V.D. Mahajan’s History of Medieval India , a text that has served as a foundational resource for Indian civil services aspirants and undergraduate students for decades. By analyzing the text’s structural organization, interpretative frameworks, and pedagogical utility, this paper argues that Mahajan’s work represents a transitional phase in Indian historiography—bridging the gap between colonial narratives and the nascent nationalist school, while prioritizing political chronology over socio-economic synthesis. The paper further explores the limitations of the text in the context of modern historiographical trends, specifically its treatment of the "Delhi Sultanate" and the "Mughal Empire." history of medieval india vd mahajan pdf
