Tarikh-i-Khan-Jahani

The Tarikh-i-Khan-Jahani (lit. 'The Khan Jahan's History')^[2] is a 17th-century Persian language text describing the history of the ethnic Afghans. Versions of the work are referred to by the names Makhzan-i-Afghani (lit. 'Afghan Treasury')^[1] and Tarikh-i-Khan Jahani Wa Makhzan-i-Afghani.^[3] It was sponsored by Khan Jahan Lodi, a high-ranking noble of the Mughal emperor Jahangir, and its principal author was Nimat Allah al-Harawi, a waqia-navis (news-writer) serving the Mughal Empire. It represents the earliest comprehensive history of the Afghans, and the first to tackle their ethnogenesis, codifying several oral histories of the Afghan community. It also contains a biography of Khan Jahan Lodi. The work served as the basis for subsequent written histories of the Afghans.
