Medieval India: Through the Eyes of Travellers

Question:

Which of the following is correctly paired?

Options:

Ibn Battuta - Rihla

Al-Biruni - Travels in the Mughal Empire

Francois Bernier - Kitab-ul-Hind

Abdur Razzaq - The Mughal India

Correct Answer:

Ibn Battuta - Rihla

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Ibn Battuta - Rihla

The correctly paired combination is:

1. Ibn Battuta - Rihla

Ibn Battuta was a famous Moroccan explorer and author who documented his travels in a book called "Rihla." This book provides valuable insights into his extensive journeys throughout the Islamic world and beyond.

The other options are not correctly paired:

2. Al-Biruni was an important Islamic scholar, but "Travels in the Mughal Empire" is not one of his works.

3. Francois Bernier was a French physician and traveler who wrote about his experiences in India, but his work was titled "Travels in the Mughal Empire" or "Voyages dans les États du Grand Mogol," not "Kitab-ul-Hind."

4. Abdur Razzaq was a 15th-century Persian diplomat and traveler, but "The Mughal India" is not a title associated with his writings.

So, the correct option is [1].
