Explanation

Al-Biruni (Alberuni) was a Persian scholar who accompanied Mahmud of Ghazni during his invasions of India in the early 11th century (around 1017-1030 CE). He wrote the famous book 'Tarikh Al-Hind' (History of India) documenting Indian culture, science, and religion. He did not come with Timur, Alexander, or Babur - these were different conquerors who came to India in different time periods.
