Civilisational Contributions of Iranian Physicians in Gurkani Royal Court

Immigration of iranian elites to the indian subcontinent has already been studied by researchers. however, what the present study aims to explore is the way and the reasons for which iranian physicians immigrated to india, as well as their impacts. preliminary studies revealed that the progressive trend of such immigrations was the result of an impulsive atmosphere in iran, on the one hand, and attractive forces in india, on the other. tracing the ways through which iranian physicians gained entry to gurkani royal court, we can study their roles in academic, literary and artistic domains. their inventions, actions and interventions in cultural, political, and academic affairs in indian royal court helped the development of medical, political, governmental domains and eventually paved the way for integration and penetration of iranian culture. what is concluded is that such immigrations not only familiarized indians with iranian thoughts but also the attempts made by iranian physicians proved effective in the development of islamic-iranian culture and civilization there. a descriptive-analytic approach was adopted for this study and the related evidence was extracted from old and historical documents.
