Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Historiography in Iran is a deep and enduring thought that from the very beginning of Islam"s entry into Iran, historians have benefited from it in insight and writing. Iranian historiography has undergone a transformation in every century. Persian historiography was so magnificent that it influenced other nations in its neighborhood. After the establishment of Muslim governments in India and the entry of Iranian scholars and writers into that land, the writing of the history of the Sultans and Muslim rulers of India was felt more than ever.

METHODOLOGY: The study examined the influence of Indian historiography in the 13th - 16th centuries of Iranian historiography with a descriptive-analytical look based on library sources. The book of the Nazarene classes and the history of the firzushah, which is one of the most important Chronicles of the period in question.

FINDINGS: The style and method of Indian historians borrowed from the thought of Iranian historiography in the fifth and sixth centuries ah. In addition to examining the historiography of two Persian historical works of the fifth century AH written in the geographical field of Iran, this research criticizes the books and historiographical thoughts of Indian historians taken from Iranian ideas.

CONCLUSION: Important Iranian history books such as the history of bihaki and the history of the tour influenced the style of Indian historiography. Jowzjani in the Nazarene classes is a great masterpiece of the Persian language in Indian historiography in terms of writing. He classified the book based on Iranian dynasties, and Bernie followed a teaching style specific to Iranian historiography. The most important reason for the influence of Iranian historiography ideas on Indian historiography was the influence and spread of the Persian language.
