About the author
Born in 1877, Salahuddin Khuda Bukhsh was an Indian historian and essayist whose work centered on Indian and Islamic subjects. Library and catalog records consistently credit him with books including Studies: Indian and Islamic, Essays Indian and Islamic, and Khuda Bukhsh: Founder of the Bankipore Oriental Public Library.
The surviving records suggest a writer deeply interested in history, religion, and intellectual life. A scan of his 1909 book on Khuda Bakhsh identifies him as Salahuddin Khuda Bukhsh, M.A., B.C.L., and archival authority records describe him plainly as a historian and essayist.
He died in 1931. While detailed biographical information appears to be scarce online, his books remain available through major digital libraries and catalogs, which have helped preserve his place as an early twentieth-century voice in Indo-Islamic historical writing.
