MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA India Evacuates Its Citizens from Iran OE Watch Commentary: When COVID-19 Hit Iran, Qom Quickly Became Its Initial Epicenter
MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA India Evacuates its Citizens from Iran OE Watch Commentary: When COVID-19 hit Iran, Qom quickly became its initial epicenter. Close to Tehran, Qom is the site of pilgrimage to the Shrine of Fatima Masumeh, the second most sacred site inside Iran for Shi’ite Muslims after the tomb of Imam Reza in Mashhad. Beyond pilgrimage, however, Qom is a center for study, second only to Najaf in Iraq. Thousands of foreigners study in its religious seminaries. The excerpted article from the Mehr News Agency, an outlet owned by the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization, details a meeting between India’s ambassador to Iran and the governor of Qom as the two governments sought to evacuate the 1,200 Indian pilgrims and students stranded in Qom during Nowruz and after the coronavirus lockdown. In early March, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar Indian pilgrims in Tehran demand evacuation against the backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic. reported 6,000 Indian nationals were in Iran, including 1,100 Source: Idat.ir, https://idat.ir/upload/attach/573/20200312-1840070.jpeg from Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Maharshtra, 300 students from Jammu and Kashmir, and 1,000 fishermen from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat. The article highlights the many special measures that authorities in Qom took for the safety of Indian citizens and notes that the Indian Ambassador “praised the management of the province in hosting and treating Indian citizens...” India and Iran have always maintained close cultural links. Persian is an Indo-European language and was for centuries the lingua franca across the Indian subcontinent; it was the official language of the Mughal Empire until 1835, when the British Empire imposed English in its stead. -
