Abstract
The establishment of the Delhi Sultanate, 1206, marked the infusion of a new cultural stream to which the religiously neutral term ‘Persianate’ is now attached. Indeed, it added to Sanskrit another language of learning in India, namely, Persian. The change, however, was not just one of an addition to India’s list of literary languages. There was a recognisable extension of knowledge (and area of reflection) alongside the intrusion of an external language. The present article attempts a survey of the developments in different aspects of science (including practical activity related to it) during the period of the Sultanate (1206–1526), considered in two parts, according to the respective languages of the texts, namely, Sanskrit and Persian.
