Brajadulal Chattopadhyaya is the author of 'The Making of Early Medieval India' (B-4), a seminal work on the transition from the ancient to the medieval period. Peter Jackson wrote 'The Delhi Sultanate: A Political and Military History' (C-1), providing a detailed account of the Sultanate's evolution.
