Magyarországról származó utazók a 19. századi Indiában

Abstract

For centuries, India has been of special importance to Hungarians due to its accessibility and cultural richness. As early as before the twentieth century, many Hungarians or travellers of other nationalities from historical Hungary visited the subcontinent. In this study, along with drawing attention to some lesser-known travellers, I will examine the social backgrounds, the motives and interests of all the people who we know at present reached India before the twentieth century.
