FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

Francisco Pelsaert, a Dutch factor in Agra, extensively documented the economic and social conditions of the Mughal Empire in the early 17th century in his work 'Remonstrantie'. His account vividly describes the 'widespread poverty' and exploitation faced by the common people, noting it as a land of 'stark want and bitter woe'. Pelsaert's observations provide a crucial, albeit critical, European perspective on the wealth disparity and the plight of the peasantry under Mughal rule. Peter Mundy was another European traveler, while Seydi Ali Reis and Mahmud Wali Balkhi were respectively Ottoman and Central Asian travelers, none as noted for their detailed descriptions of widespread poverty in early 17th-century India as Pelsaert.
