Question -

 Compare and contrast the perspectives from which Ibn Battuta and Bernier wrote their accounts of their travels in India.



Answer -

Both have written them accounts in their different prospectives. While Ibn Battuta describe everything that impressed and excited him because of his novelty, Bernier had followed a different intellectual tradition. He wrote whatever he saw in India.
Bernier wanted to pin point the weakness of the Indian society and considered the Mughal India Inferior to European society. In his description, Ibn Battuta recorded his observation about new culture, people, believes and values.
