Firishta

Firishta or Ferishta, full name Muhammad Qasim Hindu Shah , was a Persian historian who was born in 1560 and died in 1620. The name Firishta means angel or one who is sent in Persian.

Firishta was born at Astrabad on the shores of the Caspian Sea to Gholam Ali Hindu Shah. While Firishta was still a child, his father was summoned away from his native country into Ahmadnagar, Hindustan, to teach Persian to the young prince Miran Husain Nizam Shah, with whom Firishta studied.
