Yahya bin Ahmad Sirhindi (nisba of Sirhind in Punjab) was a 15th century Indian Muslim historian who wrote Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi, a Persian language chronicle of the Delhi Sultanate.
Written during the reign of Mubarak Shah, his work is an important source of information for the Sayyid dynasty.
Therefore, he wrote Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi and presented it to the Sultan, hoping to win the royal patronage.
[2] Several earlier royal chroniclers had written texts describing the 13th-15th century history of the Delhi Sultanate.
[3] For the events up to 1351, Yahya selectively borrowed from the earlier writers, and arranged the material in a chronological order.
