The Persian traveller who visited India (and is often asked about in exams) is Abdur Razzaq (also written Abdul Razzaq Samarqandi).

He was:

  • A Persian Islamic scholar and diplomat.
  • Ambassador of Shah Rukh of the Timurid dynasty of Persia.
  • A visitor to India in the 1440s, especially to Calicut and the Vijayanagara Empire during the reign of Deva Raya II.

So, for the question “the persian traveller who visited india was” , the expected answer is: Abdur Razzaq (Abd al-Razzaq Samarqandi).

Note: Sometimes another famous Persian associated with India is Al- Biruni , an 11th‑century Persian scholar who came with Mahmud of Ghazni, but when the question is phrased like yours (especially in school/competitive exam style), it almost always refers to Abdur Razzaq of Vijayanagara‑Calicut fame.
