Shaikh Inayat-Allah Kamboh (1608–1671) was a scholar, writer and historian. He was son of Mir Abdu-lla, ''Mushkin Kalam'', whose title shows him to also have been a fine writer.〔The History of India, as Told by Its Own Historians, 1877, p 123, Henry Miers Elliot, John Dowson〕〔Shah Jahan, 1975, p 131, Henry Miers Elliot - Mogul Empire.〕 Shaikh Inayat-Allah Kamboh was elder brother and teacher of Muhammad Saleh Kamboh Salafi, the famous historian of Shah Jahan's court and teacher of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.〔Modern Asian Studies, 1988, p 308, Cambridge University Press Online Journals, JSTOR (Organization) - Asia.〕〔〔Muhammad Saleh Kamboh was ''Shahi Dewan (Minister)'' with Governor of Lahore.〕 He died in 1671 AD at Delhi,〔The Shah Jahan Nama of 'Inayat Khan: An Abridged History of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, Compiled by His Royal Librarian: the Nineteenth-century Manuscript Translation of A.R. Fuller (British Library, Add. 30,777), 1990, p xxviii, Inayat Khan, Wayne Edison Begley, Z. A. Desai, Ziyaud-Din A. Desai.〕 and his Maqbara is located in Guband Kambohan wala on Empress Road near Railways Headquarters, Lahore. Inayat-Allah Kamboh spent his early life in the military service of the Mughals and was a "Mir Munshi" (''Inspector General'') of Shah Jahan and held a mansab of 800 horses. ''But he after a period of service, he retired from the world and lived besides the sacred shrine of Qutb-ud-Din Bakhtiyar Kaki at Delhi''.〔 Like his brother Muhammad Saleh, Inayat-Allah is also stated to be an accomplished Hindi singer.〔〔Persian literature in India during the time of Jahangir and Shah Jahan, 1970, p 171, M. Lutfur Rahman, Persian literature India History and criticism.〕 Inayat-Allah Kamboh wrote several historical works. He is most famous for his collection of tales entitled ''Bahar-i-Danish'' (Springtime of Knowledge), completed in 1651 AD, which became one of the most popular textbooks of Persian. Historian Muhammad Saleh Kamboh, younger brother of Inayat-Allah Kamboh, praised ''Bahar-i-Danish'' as a model of sophisticated workmanship.〔See: Muhammad Saleh Kamboh, Vol. 2, 1660: 862.〕 It became part of the syllabuses of Persian schools and is mentioned in a manuscript-copy of ''Khulasatul Makatib'', written in 1688. From its popular use in Persian schools, educated men and women, both Muslims and Hindus, were commonly acquainted with it in Mughal India. During British rule too, according to education reports, it was taught in nearly all schools and its ''style and idiom'' were ''regarded as the best models of composition'' (Reid 1852: 54).〔See: Language, Ideology and Power : Language-Learning among the Muslims of Pakistan and North India , p 127, Tariq Rahman (2 May 2002) - Oxford University Press, USA.〕 His another important work of Kamboh is the ''Takmilah-yi-Akbar-Namah'' which is a continuation of Abu-al-Fazl’s ''Akbar-Namah'' and narrates the last four years of emperor Akbar’s reign. He also wrote two more books known as ''Dalkasha'' and ''Asharaf-al-Sarayaf''. ==See also== *Kamboj in Muslim and British Era * Delhi * Mughal Empire * Shah Jahan * Muhammad Saleh Kamboh 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shaikh Inayat Allah Kamboh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
