Which of the following traveller compared the Indian conditions with that of "west"? |
Marco Polo François Bernier Duarte Barbosa Al Biruni |
François Bernier |
Bernier travelled to several parts of the India and wrote accounts of what he saw, frequently comparing what he saw in India with the situation in Europe. He dedicated his major writing to Louis XIV, the king of France, and many of his other works were written in the form of letters to influential officials and ministers. In virtually every instance Bernier described what he saw in India as a bleak situation in comparison to developments in Europe. |
