 In India, Persian inscriptions are usually found on buildings such as mosques and tombs, or on secular edifices including forts, palaces, gateways, water tanks, wells, gardens and bridges.Certain movable objects such as seals, signets, vases and eating utensils often bear inscriptions too.Most Indian Islamic and Persian inscriptions in India date from the last decade of the 12th century A.D., when Muhammad Ghori (Guri) conquered Delhi and established his sultanate there.
