In contrast to his father who had come to Hindustan from the outside, Khusraw was born and bred on the soil of Hindustan and, therefore, he considered himself a Hindustani (of Hindustan) while also identifying himself as a Turk,- a "Hindustani Turk".

He was all praise for the high artistic talents of some of the contemporary Indian masters (Kalâvantân-i Hindî) but was very critical of Hindu musicians in general because their level of understanding and achievement was poor.

Here, it will be worthwhile to mention the historical background that lead to the compilation of "Makhzan-i-Afghani" and consequently to the emergence and evolution of this theory.
The theory was current till the beginning of the 20th century when it came under severe criticism from scholars for a number of reasons; mainly for its contradictions with Hebrew Scriptures, its historical inconsistencies, and the linguistic characteristics of Pashtu that classify it an Aryan Language instead of Semitic.
The Bani-Israelite theory, and correspondingly Makhzan-i-Afghani, have degraded to a fairy-tale in their worth as a plausible interpretation of Pakhtoon origin as a result of the research of the 20th century.

This is well-researched historical fiction but it does include some element of fantasy; the diamond endows Filippo with a sixth sense.
