There are many kinds of sources that the historians use to write South Asia's history. Indo Persian is a term used for language and culture that evolved out of the confluence of Central Asian or Perianate culture with Indian or South Asian culture. Many Persian or Indo Persian writings and manuscripts are available from 12th century onwards that are rich sources of history of that era.
