As a Turk I can confirm few things he said here such as the shalwar,tandoor,mihrab we use these words as well.and it is probably due to our intertwined socio culture with Persians who we lived side by side and time to time together by our dynasties taking over theirs and vice versa. Westerners don’t want to admit it but even their Greco Roman origins are influenced by the ancient Persian culture. But of course they will not bring that up due to some of their friends in holy land
i am from Persian background, And i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove India, as though its my second or third home. thanks for posting, Hello from a Iranian Woman in Sweden Nicki Rafiei
we Indians also love Iran...
thank you so much
Nicki Rafiei What about Pakistan?Pakistan is more associated with iran through culture nd language.Persian is speaking in Pakistan.Do u know Allama Iqbal(Eghbal lahorie) which persian know from this name.
offcorse i know aulama Eghbal he was also the one who wrote the patreotic song sare jahan se achcha Hindustan Hamara and also now that you have mentioned pacistan the national anthem qaumi Tarana is almost compleatly in Persian with the exeption of one word ka let me quote the line oh Sarzameen Ka nizaam the line could have bin oh Sarzameen E nizaam but i think it will loos its meaning so lets leave it at that and ameer Khusrow also wrote in Persian to for example the word for mony in Urdu is Zarr witch is a very old Persian word for Gold and our word for mony is pol witch in hindi and urdu is iquivalent to flower phool but you can also say Gol aswell and also for the name Rose in Urdu is Golaab witch is the iquivalent to Persian word for Rosewater and i could go on and on and there is also a nother interesting example the word bozorg means big in Persian but in Urdu it can refere to an elderly man or somebody who is of quite old age witch we in Persian call Pir i have herd the word pir being used in Urdu sometimes but not frequently but yah its just interesting how much close we are you can say that we Iranians are your next door knaeighbors concidering the flight time between Dehli and Teheran is just 4 hours I like finding cimilarities between many cultures and the Indian Subcontinent is one Example ok I will stop here Khudah Hafez Nicki
Nicki Rafiei Write u say do u like urdu.Because during partition urdu is moved from dehli or india to Pakistan .In india know hindi is frequently speaking.Urdu is know speaking Pakistan frequently
Love India from 🇮🇷🇮🇷. I like Indian music very much. I had different view towards Indian music due to fuckin racist English TH-cam channels but Indian ancient sounds are very calming. Also love arejit singh, magical voice.
Oh woow u have great taste of music if u love Arijit lots of love from india 💕🙏🥰
Actually hindustani music is an amaazish of Iranian and indian melodic systems , pioneered by amir khusrow for Sufi music, it's one of those beautiful gifts that arises from the confluence of two brilliant cultures , so in a way it belongs to you too
Very beautiful and well written scripts about the two cultures. I found so much similarities just in 6 minutes, even in language so many similar words like "shalwar" "tanour/tandour". I guess I can understand and be understood if I travel to India and try to use our similar words. from brother country Iran I thank you for this great video!
Yes, I can attest very well to similarities between Farsi and Indian languages. I am from Nepal, and can speak Hindi ok/well and my roommate in grad school was an Esfahani dude. I discovered many similarities between Hindi/Nepalese and Farsi ... it was quite eye opening to the level our food names especially was influenced by Iranian names (or vice versa) . I will go in Farsi-Hindi order ... Siv-Sev/Syau, Piaz-Pyaaz, Anar-Anar ... umm memories greyed out .. but one other interesting discovery was that in Iran, Potatoes were called "Siv Zamini " ... apple from the ground hehe .. that was hilarious yet striking : )
Iran is derived from Aryans....Indian culture is derived from them....Hence, we are Aryans too👍
I love indian
art, handycrafts,music , vedic culture ❤❤❤
From the16th century onward Iran itself changed in ways that departed siginficantly from the classical Persian culture and traditions that India inherited from the Persianized Turks and Timurids of Central Asia. Indeed, Persianate India probably had as much or more in common with Ottoman Turkey to the west than it did with Safavid Iran. I say this because I notice a naive tendency among some commenters to equate historical, trans-national Persian culture with modern Iran. (This is not meant to denigrate Iran in any way; I have visited Iran myself and have a great affection for the country.)
Even my mother language Punjabi was hugely influenced by Persian culture. One of its scripts uses the Nastaliq or Perso-Arabic script.
You mean Nashtaliq script?
It's a dark history. Some Punjabi territories were forced to use it.
Also Nashtaliq is fully Arab script forced on the lands muslims conquered
@Baby Sama 48 what bullshit lol. Why would they? Same thing happened to the traditional Chinese text in mainland China. From Persia to almost all parts the califate took over and raised influence lost their traditional text script. That's why Indian languages still use Devnagari.
@@armstrong2450 So Baba Bulleh Shah and Baba Farid Shah were ‘forced' to write their scriptures in Shahmukhi Punjabi? Lmao must be early in the morning where you live. Most of our important literature (like famous Heer-Ranjha quissa) was written in Perso-Arabic script by important Sufi poets up until late 15-16 century when Sikh gurus gave birth to a second equally important script Gurmukhi which was the meat-potato for all Sikh scriptures and standardization of Punjabi in countries like Canada. Now, Urdu is a different story. Urdu may have had a dark past like you said but not Punjabi. Punjabi was much older at the time and started to be written in Perso-Arabic script and wasn't forced by anyone. Before Shahmukhi, Landa Punjabi was used for our writing.
So our mother tongue can either be written in ਪੰਜਾਬੀ(Gurmukhi, not Devanagari) or پنجابی.(Shahmukhi) And both are valid.
@@leviathandiabolo6296 Then you tell me. Why there is not a single language in India using nashtaliq script except Urdu itself? But Rather every language in Pakistan is using it? Punjabi was written in Indic type text from the time it existed. Only Islamised Punjab write it in nashtaliq.
Im just asking. Not mocking you.
Love India from Iran
You did the right thing not converting to Islam
wish we were like you
bushi bushi you should check the statistics of Indian Muslim it’s over 4 times of our population
I hope you are safe there brother. Just stay strong and never give up on your culture. Iran will always be Zoroastrian country, not Islamic Republic regardless of its current situation
Dont worry bro, U iranians have nothing with india, it was central Asian Farsi and culture that influenced India not Iranian
Suhail Saboor
Ustad ahmad lahori and ustad isa shirazi were architects of taj mahal...
It's enough for you
bushi bushi can’t do anything the Mughal came and then they forced Indians to be Muslims at that time
India called golden sparrow at the time of ashoka samrat.
You just correct yourself.
Better you do....it's quite shocking to know people don't know about their Aryan culture.
Wow just amazing
Yes....Farsi culture dominated India for 900 years....Now, it is in our roots.....A big Salam to Farsis for making Hind culture beautiful and magnificent....we will not be able to pay the debt...Alhamdulilah...
I find concept of local and foreign quite divisive and unrealistic. Thanks for great short video for making the point in simple words. Fully agree.
I am from Persia or Iran living in France. Thanks for this nice video. I love Indian culture too. I dislike Islam and generally all religions. But I believe on people and their kindness. With a good education we don’t need religion. We have many Farsi origin people in India. Tajmahal was made by Iranians in north and there are many actors and actresses or business men with Persian origins. 800 years of Farsi as official language is just amazing.
Persia was a magnificent civilization. The Parsi businessmen you are talking about are still Zoroastrians. If good religions should exist, Zoroastrianism is one of those which should survive.

Persian culture have been present in India from 500 BC in north of India and in Punjab the Wordis Persian ( five waters five Rivers)
Then it has been present in India and used since A very long time and mostly from 1000 A.D. to British colonization of India that replaced Persian by English
Persian was also the language of the Mogul empire present in India from 1200 Ad and the Indian court of justice even today many of words have Persian roots old Persian or Avestic is the almost the same than Sanskrit. Some pronunciation are different.
Kh or H in Parsi ( Persian) modified in to S
P to B or F
Z To J
And in many words Indians or in Sanskrit they add an A at the end of the word.
ex : the word week Hafté or Hafta became Hapté or Hapta H =S = Sapta.

The Impact of Persian Language on Indian Languages
Safavi (2006) argued that “all Indian languages like Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, and Hindi etc. contain a great number of Persian words and phrases for which they have no synonym”( p. ix). Persian language was spoken Middle East, and Asia countries roughly from 1000 AD to 1800 AD and it was used as lingua-Franca of many countries over the world.
The Persian language was used as a second language in South Asia it was served as the language of culture and education in several Muslim Courts in South Asia and became the sole official language under the Mughal emperors. During the power of Mughal in India, the culture and education of India was influenced by Persian language and the relationship between two nations in literature and science was at its peak and Persian language was official language of India. In this time, almost all languages of India have been influenced by Persian language not only in India literature but also in the speech of the common people. Persian language has had strong influenced on Urdu, Punjabi, and Sindhi in India. Other Indian languages like Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, and Rajasthani have borrowed a great number of Persian words and phrases from Persian language. Safavi (2006, p. ix) indicated that “Mughal kings patronized Iranian poets and scholars and the impact of Persian culture and language is discernable on all aspects of intellectual and socio-cultural life of India. Indian officers and nobles employed at the court, wore Iranian dress, spoke Persian language and enjoyed Persian poetry”. She added that “From the East to West this synthesis of two cultures can be observed in architecture, painting, music, and poetry. Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, the Deccani mosques and mausoleums, Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s forts, many Gurdwaras, Akbar’s tomb at Sikandra and of course the Taj Mahal are eye- catching examples of the Persian influence”( p. ix). According to Nizami (2013), the Persian language had influenced on all aspects of Indian life, such as political, literary, cultural, and religious aspects. He added that in the history of India during the medieval period, a number of Iranian cultural streams in the realm of polity, social traditions, literature, historiography and mystic thought seem flowing in every direction enriching the soil and contributing to the variegated culture pattern of India. It was generally believed in India during the Sultanate period that kingship was not possible without emulating Persian customs, ceremonies and principles of government.
The role of Persian language in India was very important and it was used as the second official language of India, The Persian language considered as the language of culture and science of Subcontinent, before the British colonized India. The Persian language was replaced by English Language in India in 1832. Before 1832, the Persian language was spoken by people from Sind to Bengal. The Farsi language is used among the Indian people as only the same language

@@amiralkook1 even Iran is islamic but the persian culture is still alive many Iranian festivals are pre islamic long live India and Iran
@@priyeshbagade6610 islam for Iran and British government for India were terrible period for Iran and India.
##Long live Hind- Farsi culture...Zendabad
Hindi language didn't even exist 150 years ago... When British defeated Indian mutiny in 1857, they established English and Urdu as the official language of India. Urdu and Kashmiri have 60% Persian vocabulary.
Lol just babber anything right?
All the regional Languages were used in british courts.It was in mughal courts where only Persian was allowed but like urdu became hybrid of regional North Indian and Persian language
Devnagri script (hindi) has been there for quite a long time
So what you said makes zero sense
Hindi script older than 4000 years, so have some knowledge
Actually sitar was present before arrival of Delhi Sultanate.
awesome

Thanks for the info! Just one correction:
4:30 Sufism is not an Islamic Mysticism. Sufism is rooted in teachings of Zarathustra (message of personal development and one god), Mani (message of righteousness and art), and philosophies of Mithra (message of love and light). But of course it has Arabic loanwords too. Sufism has been proposed to humble the invaders of Persia/Iran, make them respect the pre-Islamic culture of Iran, and played the greatest role in flourishing the science and art after Islam.
Very interesting , Sufism is indeed very spiritual and accomodating , to this day , shrines of Sufi saint in india are most revered by Hindus and muslims alike
wow nicely explained.. share this to the cow vigilantees.. that india is but diverse
It was Central Asian Farsi that influenced into India not Iranian,
Greetings to our forever friends India from Afghanistan.
Bruh are you serious? It was the Iranians who influenced India, the central Asian people are actually Turkic but they speak Persian because they got also influenced by Iranians.
@@LaNa-sz2gb that was due to invasions of Persian Empire. Invasions have a huge impact on cultures. If India wouldve never been Indvaded there would have been no partition and everyone would speak pure Hindi, eat local foods and dishes etc
@@observer0222 these people were ethnic Persians tho.
Love to Greater Afghanistan 🇦🇫
