  • The Role of India's Adil Shahi Dynasty in Spreading Persian Language
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION e-ISSN: 1306-3065 OPEN ACCESS 2018, Vol. 13, No. 2, 211-220 The Role of India’s Adil Shahi Dynasty in Spreading Persian Language Mansour Nikpanah 1* 1 Higher educational complex of Saravan, Sistan and Baluchestan, IRAN * CORRESPONDENCE: [email protected] ABSTRACT Iran and India are countries with a common language, culture, race, religion, etc. But they have been away from each other for different local and foreign causes so that these people having the same root in the past have become strangers today. By returning to the Indian history we can clarify that the center of Persian language and mores was located in this land. This case is not only exclusive to the northern areas of the Indian peninsula but also included the southern states and some prominent poets among the natives there started to talk in Persian. Bijapur is one of these areas receiving myriads of writers and scholars following the policies of Bahmani and Adil Shahi dynasties. In this article this region’s position is going to be investigated regarding its attention toward Persian language and poetry in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Keywords: Bijapur, Adil Shahi Dynasty, Ibrahim Adil Shah, Persian language INTRODUCTION Poetry has been a perpetual companion of human since the advent of history and has brought about unique and exceptional moments for mankind with its appearance. So, according to Sir Philip Sydney: “Nature never depicts the world with so many colorful patters as different poets have created” (Yousefi, 1992, p. 312). Although poetry is the result of poet’s self-development, by taking a glance at the literary past we will realize that some rulers of those times have paid attention to poets and poetry.

  • History of Iranian-Georgian Relation
    IRANIAN HISTORY HISTORY OF IRANIAN-GEORGIAN RELATION By: Keith Hitchin Between the Achaemenid era and the beginning of the 19th century, Persia played a significant and at times decisive role in the history of the Georgian people. The Persian presence helped to shape political institutions, modified social structure and land holding, and enriched literature and culture. Persians also acted as a counterweight to other powerful forces in the region, notably the Romans (and Byzantines), the Ottoman Turks, and the Russians. But the Persian-Georgian relationship was by no means one-sided, for the Georgians contributed substantially to Persia's military and administrative successes and even affected its social structure, especially under the Safavids. Information about relations between the Achaemenids and the inhabitants of present-day Georgia is fragmentary. During the Achaemenid domination of eastern Anatolia and Transcaucasia (546-331 B.C.E.) proto-Georgian tribes were, according to Herodotus (3.94), included in the 18th and 19th satrapies (T. Kaukhchishvili, ed., pp. 10-11). Although the territory of present-day southern Georgia fell within the Achaemenid state, the Achaemenids apparently never brought those tribes living further to the north under their control. When they tried to do so their aggressiveness led to the formation of large associations of northern proto-Georgian tribes (Melikishvili, pp. 235, 273). Xenophon was aware of the changed conditions in 401-400 B.C.E. when he noted in the Anabasis that these tribes, including those of Colchis (q.v.), had ceased to be under Achaemenid rule (Mikeladze, ed., pp. 13-14). By this time proto-Georgians were moving into the Kura valley, where, merging with indigenous tribes, they eventually formed the Georgian people (Lang, 1966, pp.
