Iranian Peoples of India

Nowhere in the world outside the Greater Iran have the Iranian People reached prominence as they have in India. The history of Iranic and Indic peoples is very much intertwined. As they both are the descendants of Indo-Iranian people who separated some 5000 years ago. Subsequent Iranian Empires have successively controlled north-west and north India through the history. Starting with the Persian Achaemenid Empire, followed by Bactrian Empire, Parthian Empire, Kushan Empire, Indo-Saka Empire, Indo-Parthian Empire, Hephthalites Empire, Sassanid Empire....etc,etc. This has caused a continuous stream of Iranic people penetrating India and settling in different parts of this land. Many people in India can claim and do claim descendants from Iranian Tribes. For example Jat, Gujjar and Rajput are believed to have descended from the Xantii "Saka" tribes, Kouchari "Tokharians" and a mix of Pahlava and Indo-Saka. Or the Kambo being the Descendants of "Ashvaka" and "Kambojas" who were archaic Iranic Peoples Living in northern Afghanistan. After the Islamic conquest of northern India many Iranic people converted to Islam and many new Iranian people settled in India following the Islamic armies such as Those of Qhaznavi, Ghuri and Mughal Empires! It was mainly During the Mughal Empire that Persian Culture played a prominent role In northern India, However Persian influence was already very present during the Sultanate of Dehli. One can Still recognize Persian influences in all aspects of daily Indian life, from language to cooking and from Music to Clothing. One of the most prominent groups of Iranian People living in India is the Parsi and Irani,Zoroastrian, community. They have contributed a lot to economy, politics, industry and arts of India since their arrival in early 8th century A.D.. Also many Iranic people of Pashtun/Pathan and Tajik origin have settled in India from Pakistani and Afghanistani parts of Greater Iran. And are mainly prominent in Film Industry and Entertainment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Per... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sassanid... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kambojas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_As... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokharians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_...
