According to me... Bhatti has written from purely examination point of view and his book is in question answers form....it is quite exhaustive as well......so u may concentrate on Bhatti's and also Bhatti,s MCQ's are good for objective types .However,if you want in depth analysis and some best quotations to cite specially on the questions pertainnig to culture and society ...Dr. S.M Ikram's "Mulim Rule in India and Pakistan" is good(BUT AS AN ADDITIONAL READING FOR REFERENCING).....it is not bulky.......However at the moment you may concentrate on Bhattis...According to me K.Ali is good but bit sketchy while Bhatti though not being an historian/history teacher has consullted/taken from veriety of books and compiled it.....
