*Prominent books
*Muslim Political Thought and Administration by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Munhshiram Manoharlal; 1st Indian edition (1981); 215 pages This book is a comprehensive study of the political theories of Muslim thinkers. His survey of Muslim political thought begins with the Ideal State as depicted in the Quran. He provides an insight into the working of the political minds of some of the most eminent Muslim thinkers of each era. Alongside the author provides a running commentary about the workings of the political institutions under which they lived in order to find out whether there was any connecting link between their political ideas and the atmosphere in which they flourished. *The Bahmanis of Deccan by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Ltd. New Delhi, India 1985; 364 pages Bahmani history covers a very important part of the history of medieval India and corresponds to the period of a unified Deccan. Pre-Bahmani medieval Deccan extended to just half century when the land was governed rather precariously by the Sultans of Delhi, while the two countries between the fall of the Bahmanis and the establishment of the Asaf jahi rule was a period of complete disunion. Perhaps the first attempt at a comprehensive history of a part of the Bahmani rule was made by Professor Sherwani in his book, Mahmud Gawan, the great Bahmani Wazir which was published in 1941. The book was exceedingly well received. The age of Mahmud Gawan forms only a small though a glorious part of the history of Bahmani Deccan which is now being presented to the learned public. *Studies in the Foreign Relations of India, from the earliest times to 1947 by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, India 1975. *Cultural Trends in Medieval India: Architecture, Painting, Literature & Language by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Bombay, New York, Asia Publication House 1968. *History of Medieval Deccan, 1295-1724 by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Printing and Publication Bureau, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh (1973) *Cultural Understanding in Medieval India by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Hyderabad, Deccan; 1962 *History of the Qutb Shahi dynasty by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers (1974); 739 pages *The Bahmani Kingdom by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: National Information & Publications (1947) *Mahmud Gawan, the Great Bahmani Wazir by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Allahabad: Kitabistan, 1942. *Muhammad-Quli Qutb Shah, founder of Haidarabad by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: London, Asia Publication House, 1967. *Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Karachi, Pakistan Historical Society, 1962. *The Origin of Islamic Polity: the Qur'anic State by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Hyderabad : Deccan, 1936. *A Muslim Political Thinker of the 9th century, A.C. by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Allahabad: Kitabistan, 1942 *Muslim Colonies in France, Northern Italy and Switzerland by Haroon Khan Sherwani Publisher: Pakistan : Sh.
