Ok.I will definitely buy that book.Bus samajh lo aa gayi....

You are right.Thats why at first I decided to go through the books.Now I am clear with things only notes are left.

That's quite good.You know tomorrow I was making notes of M.B.Qasim and I was just putting all the stuff like pirates,ships,treasures,etc on paper.And I thought that I was just copying all the material.
So I think at first I should try to distinguish between what is important and what is ''aewain'' I mean unimportant for notes.

5: Religion: Spread of Islam, Sufism
6: Move to Egalitarianism: Class structures of india shattered
7: Education
(there can be many more added to this list)

Critical Analysis:
- Pre-existing indian culture changed by islamic conquest
- Introduction of islam as a cultural element in india.

Conclusion:
-Islamic culture augmented indian society
-Cleared ambiguities, promoted egalitarianism, laid basis for progress.

This is how i make my notes. basically they're just outlines of all the important topics so that it will take me a lot less time to go over them and refresh my mind when exams are right around the corner inshAllah. I hope this helped.
Outline is very good.I got your point.That's quite easy and I think it will save my lots of time too.Less things to copy I suppose.

Thank you so much Salman for your time.Thanks a lot.
