'Abd al-Hamid Ghaznavi

'Abd al-Hamid Ghaznavi
   While serving as a clerk in the Delhi sultanate during Muhammad bin Tughlaq's reign (1325-1351), he commenced compiling Dastur al-albab, a Persian text that furnishes valuable information on the subject of taxation. This book was com-pleted by 'Abd al-Hamid during Firuz Shah Tughlaq's reign (1351-1388) in 1364-1365. Like other Muslim theorists of the Delhi sultanate, 'Abd al-Hamid characterizes the Hindu subjects as zimmis, that is, subjugated people from whom a poll tax (jiziya) could be col-lected.
