Al-Biruni came with Mahmud of Ghazni in the early eleventh century and wrote Kitab-ul-Hind, so D is earliest. Afanasy Nikitin travelled to the Bahmani kingdom in the 1470s, so C is next. Duarte Barbosa wrote about the west coast in the early sixteenth century, so A follows. Antonio Monserrate, the Jesuit at Akbar's court, came in the 1580s, so B is last.
