The glory of old Persia

hello everyone. Haletan çetor e

welcome Khorezmian Turk

as you know the Ghaznavids,Ghorids,Seljuks and Khorezmians all spoke Farsi

anyway I am now a TWC Librarian!

Ghaznavids,Ghorids,Seljuks and Khorezmians leaders and warriors is Turk but mainly bureaucrats is Fars and official language is Farsi

of course they were Turks but they spoke Farsi .

Otherwise Mahmud of Ghazni wouldn't have understood Firdausi's Shahnama!

This is the Armenian college in Calcutta to cater for Armenians whose ancestors arrived from Isfahan,300 years ago:



A statue of Vladimir Lenin,since Bengal is Communist




There is more of a British influence in Calcutta however:

Hi everyone. There is less than a month remaining to new year; so I find it a good idea to post some pictures of "Norooz" and "Haft-seen".

I uploaded pictures of Shah Abbas I and Shah Abbas II,two great rulers of Iran.

Thanks for the pics. Uploaded some pics about Nowrouz.

Two more pictures and this group is at the top condering picture numbers.

The Mughals used to celebrate Nowruz as well.

Compulsory watching for this group :

awesome Chaghatai! But I had saw it before.

yeah

well I love it

I doubt that anyone in Iran would believe this,but this is true:

Ruhollah Khomeini was born in September 1902 in Khomein, a small town between Isfahan and Tehran. He came from a family of seyyeds (descendants of the Prophet) whose patriarchs had been mullahs for many generations and may originally have come from Nishapur. In the eighteenth century one of his ancestors had moved to India, where the family have lived in Kintur near Lucknow, before his grandfather (known as Seyyed Ahmed Musavi Hindi) moved back to Persia and settled in Khomein in about 1839.

When I was in Lucknow, I was thinking how Khomeini's family had once lived near to there.
