A biography is Mohammad Habib, Sultan Mahmud of Ghaznin, 2nd ed. (1967). The chapter on the Ghaznavids by Wolseley Haig in The Cambridge History of India, vol. 3 (1965), provides a reliable account of that period; as does Pranab Kumar Bhattacharyya, Historical Geography of Madhya Pradesh from Early Records (1977). Ramesh Majumdar et al., An Advanced History of India, 3rd ed. (1967), includes a short sketch of the period. Also useful are the relevant portions of Mohammad Ali, A Cultural History of Afghanistan (1964); S.M. Ikram and Percival Spear (eds.), The Cultural Heritage of Pakistan (1955); and Romila Thapar, Somanatha: The Many Voices of a History (2004; reprinted 2015).
