Abu Rayhan al-Biruni (973–1048), the scholar who came to India with Mahmud of Ghazni and wrote the Kitab-ul-Hind, was born at Kath in Khwarezm, a region that lies in present-day Uzbekistan.
He wrote in Arabic on astronomy, mathematics, geography and Indian religion and society, and his account of eleventh-century India remains one of the most valuable outside descriptions of the country.
