Ibn Battuta Travels In Asia And Africa 1325 To 1354

bn Battuta, a Moroccan traveller, visited India during the latter half of the fourteenth century. His travel accounts not only make the most reliable source on the history of the sultanate under the Tughlaq Dynasty, but also give details on the social, political, cultural, religious and economic state of medieval India in general. The present selections, which have been translated afresh from the Arabic text, treat Ibn Battuta as a traveller and not as a writer of geography.
