Professor Khaliq Ahmad Nizami was one of very well-known historians of Medieval India. He was a prolific writer and he wrote extensively on Sufism and Political history of Delhi sultanate. He was among the first to activate academic interest to the study of ulama and Mashaikh of India. He maintains that the study of medieval Indian history has a long-centered monopoly of courts and camps of kings and we have got in the habit of surveying historical landscape from the point of view of royal throne as it has to be seen through other perspectives as well. He considers this Sufi literature is a rich source of constructing and understanding the religious and social history of medieval India. My paper deals with a study of the life of Khaliq Ahmad Nizami, his academic career and his contribution to Sufi studies. In this paper I will highlight some of his major works on Sufism along with their basic introduction. He wrote more than 40 books and 200 papers in Urdu, Arabic, Persian and English dealing with various aspects of medieval Indian History, culture, sir Sayyed and Aligarh.
