UPSC NDA-2 – 2017
The correct answer is Ibn Battuta’s Rihla.
Ibn Battuta, a famous Moroccan traveler and scholar, visited India during the reign of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq (1325-1351 AD) and served him for several years. His detailed travelogue, ‘Rihla’ (meaning ‘journey’), provides invaluable insights into the political, social, and economic conditions of the Delhi Sultanate under Muhammad Bin Tughlaq.
Francois Bernier, Niccolao Manucci, and Jean-Baptiste Tavernier were European travelers who visited India much later, during the Mughal period (primarily the 17th century), and their accounts describe the Mughal emperors like Aurangzeb, Shah Jahan, etc., not the reign of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq of the Delhi Sultanate.
