Ibn Batuta (also spelled Ibn Battuta) visited India during the reign of Mohammad bin Tughlaq from 1333 to 1342 CE. The Moroccan scholar and traveler came to India specifically to meet the Sultan and stayed for several years, even serving as a judge in Delhi. Balban and Iltutmish ruled earlier, while Alauddin Khalji died before Ibn Batuta reached India.
