About Through the Eyes of Travellers
This CBSE Class 12 History chapter explains Through the Eyes of Travellers by using foreign travel accounts as sources for medieval Indian society. It covers Al-Biruni's Kitab ul Hind, Ibn Battuta's Rihla, Francois Bernier's observations, urban centres, trade, social customs, and comparative views of India. The chapter shows how travellers recorded unfamiliar practices through their own cultural assumptions and experiences.
These accounts help students understand markets, cities, caste, gender, administration, and everyday life from outside perspectives. For board exams, school tests, and revision, the chapter is important for evaluating travel writing, comparing travellers' observations, and explaining both the value and limitations of such historical sources.
