This book on astrology was written by the famous astrologer Roop Lal at the end of the 19th century and published by the Lahore Publishing House in India before the division of the country. The text was written in Urdu, as both Muslims and Hindus could read this language at that time. Legal proceedings were conducted in this language and, in fact, it was the main language of Punjab, which, before the division of the country, spread from Delhi to the borders with Afghanistan. Pandit Girdhari Lal, a resident of Pheruvala Noormahal of Jallandhar district, published it in 1952, and (almost simultaneously with this publication) Lal Kitab was published by a Pandit named Atma Ram from Rahan village of Nurpur Tehsil of Kangra district.

This book was popular in northwestern India, Pakistan, Iran and other countries. But if it were not for the efforts of the two wonderful astrologers mentioned, today it would be completely forgotten. Mr. Rup Lal, the Author of this work, was not only an excellent astrologer, but also a real sage who could lift the veil of the unknown and look into the future.
