Question

Which tourist mentions that slavery was practiced in India?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slavery in India was largely established during the Islamic rule of India, but was rarely practiced in ancient India.[1] However, the study of its practice in ancient times is problematic and contested due to the debate surrounding the translations of terms such as dasa and dasyu.[1][2] Slavery was banned during the reign of the Mauryan Empire.[3]

Slavery in India escalated during the Muslim domination of northern India after the 11th-century, after Muslim rulers re-introduced slavery to the Indian subcontinent.[1] It became a predominant social institution with the enslavement of Hindus, along with the use of slaves in armies for conquest, a long-standing practice within Muslim kingdoms at the time.
