He also says that the historian Tasneem Ahmad obtained a Ph.D. and published a book in his name that was only a copy of an earlier work by Dr. Parmatma Saran.

The foreword to that book was written by the "very eminent" Irfan Habib, who according to Tasneem Ahmad "encouraged and guided me at every stage of the work" and examined "with care every intricate problem , arising out [sic.] during the course of work."

I have reverted those edits. This article merely reports that this book by shourie makes those accusations.-Bharatveer 04:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AHCI

Arts and Humanities citation index is not dependable source of information about the number of citations--It is an index to journal articles, not books, and it is very incomplete, listing only those from a few journals. See WebofScience. I suggest checking in Book Review Digest, and in a general index such as Proquest or the equivalent. (Or first Google Scholar. which might well have some)DGG (talk) 01:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
