Views of foreign Travellers on women and slave in medieval India
Explanation:
- Francoise Bernier, a French Traveller, had written about the Sati practice. He wrote that some women happily embraced death, however other were forced into Sati
- Women labourers were vital to both non-agricultural and agricultural production
- Women who hailed from merchant/trader families used to take part in commercial activities
- Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan traveller, wrote that Women slaves were used for keeping watch on nobles and for the service of the Sultan (these slaves were expert in dance and music). The slave prices, in particular women domestic labor slaves, were very low, that at least one or two of women slaves were kept by those families who could afford this. Many women slaves were captured in expeditions and raids .
