Al Beruni from Persia (1024-1030 A.D.)

Al Beruni was an Islamic philosopher “appointed” by Mahmud of Ghazni to compose Kitab fi tahqiq ma li’l-hind, a vast commentary on Indian philosophy and culture. “His insights on Indian realities, institutions of knowledge, social conventions, religion… are possibly the most penetrating made by any traveler to India,” historians say today. This tourist, born in Uzbekistan, spent thirteen years in India studying its culture and literature.

Marco Polo, the Venetian traveler, is possibly the most famous traveler. In 1288 and 1292, he is reported to have gone South India twice, seeing a tomb of St. Thomas “in a certain small-town” that he does not name.
