  • Hook is not remotely interesting. WBGconverse 15:05, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Proposing a hook based on Captain Medusa's suggestion:

  • ALT1 ... that the Arab Serai, a 16th-century roadside inn in Delhi, may have been built to shelter three hundred Arab priests who had accompanied the Mughal emperor's widow on her hajj to Mecca?

I am not familiar with the subject matter and I'm not confident with my rewording (it could probably be rephrased), so Royroydeb please clarify if there are any inaccuracies with ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 15:06, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
