Explanation

Ibn Battuta visited India during Muhammad bin Tughlaq's reign (1325-1351), arriving in 1333. He spent about eight years in the subcontinent, serving as a qadi (judge) in the Sultanate court. His travelogue 'Rihla' provides valuable insights into 14th-century India under Tughlaq rule, describing administration, society, and the Sultan's ambitious schemes.
