Khulasat-ut-Tawarikh (Persian: خلاصة التواریخ, "Epitome of History") is a Persian language chronicle written by Sujan Rai Bhandari in the Mughal Empire of present-day India. It deals with the history of Hindustan (northern Indian subcontinent ), and it also contains details about the contemporary Mughal Empire.
