Abstract

Persian language and literature showed its manifestation in India in Sultan-Mahmood’s Period and gained a widespread popularity in that area. The immigrants’ travelling to India caused a further cultural interaction. Such relations got expanded in all respects in 10th century (A.H) during Safavid dynasty in Iran and Teymori dynasty in India. Some Persian poets migrated to India for a variety of reasons such as the lack of proper attention to poets by the Safavid kings and enormous encouragement by their Indian counterparts. We can observe a remarkable instance of such a migration in the 11th century. Furthermore, Persian Language was invariably regarded as the formal, political and diplomatic language until 1857 when the Teymori dynasty came to an end. Qotbshahi and Adelshahi were ruling in Golkandeh (918-1098 A.H)'Bijapoor (895-1097 A.H) and Dakan respectively. Due to their similar ideological viewpoints to the Safavid Kings, a greater number of poets migrated to India. We can cite more than 70 poets comprising about 10 percent of poets’ migration to India.
