His account, written in early 17th-century English, gives the following information. William Finch reached Lahore in February 1611 (only 11 years after the supposed death of Anarkali), to sell indigo he had purchased at Bayana on behalf of the East India Company. The earliest Western accounts about the love affair between Salim and Anarkali were written by two British travellers, William Finch and Edward Terry. There are many supporting and opposing views such as the ones mentioned below. There is disagreement among scholars concerning the authenticity of Anarkali's accounts and legend. Anarkali was first mentioned in the journal of an English tourist and trader, William Finch, after he visited the Mughal Empire on 24 August 1608.
