Ibn Battuta, the famous Berber-Moroccan traveller, visited India during the reign of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq of the Delhi Sultanate. Impressed by his learning, Muhammad Tughlaq appointed him as the Qazi (chief judge) of Delhi.

Ibn Battuta served as Qazi of Delhi for several years before being sent on a diplomatic mission to China. His travelogue, ‘Rihla’ (The Journey), provides invaluable information about political, social, and economic conditions in 14th-century India under Muhammad Tughlaq.

Al-Masudi, Abu Zaid, and Ibn Haukal were earlier Arab travellers and geographers who visited or wrote about India, primarily in the 9th and 10th centuries, long before the reign of Muhammad Tughlaq.
