Answer / Gopal Ji
Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan traveler and scholar who journeyed extensively during the 14th century, provides valuable insights into the existence of slavery during his time. His travels took him across North Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.nnIn his accounts, Ibn Battuta frequently encounters slaves in various contexts: laborers on plantations, domestic servants, market vendors, and even military personnel. He describes the markets of Constantinople (now Istanbul) as bustling with the sale of slaves from different regions, such as Black Africans, Circassians, and Turks.nnHe also mentions the presence of slave traders along his routes and offers examples of slaveowners who treated their slaves harshly or kindly. These anecdotes serve as evidence for the prevalence of slavery during Ibn Battuta's time.
