چکیده:
The present article examines the relations of the Safavid Iranian Empire with its eastern neighbor, namely the Indian state. Using multiple sources, it shows that although Iran and India attempt to reduce tension factors in their mutual relations due to proximity and maintaining good neighborliness, and for this purpose, expand their diplomatic relations, the military conflicts that occurred over control of the strategic region of Kandahar showed that despite political formalities, both states were intensely pursuing their economic-political interests and were in no way willing to compromise on them. Over time, the importance of Kandahar did not diminish. Mahmud Afghan's attack from Kandahar and the subsequent problems that arose for the Safavid state from this side showed that the attention of the Safavid sultans to this region was not without reason.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Using various sources, it shows that although Iran and India, due to proximity and the observance of good neighborliness, attempt to reduce tension factors in their mutual relations and expand their diplomatic ties for this purpose, the military conflicts that occurred over control of the strategic region of Kandahar showed that despite political formalities, both states were intensely pursuing their economic-political interests and were in no way willing to compromise on them.
But when Alimardan Khan incurred the wrath of Shah Safi and was forced to seek refuge in India, Kandahar was left undefended and the Indians captured this city, which marked the beginning of numerous conflicts that, during the time of Shah Sultan Husayn, provided the causes for the fall of the Safavids.
According to the writings of Hasan Beg Rumlu, during this period only ambassadors were exchanged, and Kandahar remained in the hands of Kamran Mirza, the son of Babur, who, based on his father's memoirs, tried not to take any action that would cause conflict between the two states.
(6) (In 1028 AH / 1618 AD, one of the princes of India, known as Mirza Barkhurdar Khan and famous as Khan-i-Alam, came to Iran as an ambassador, and Shah Abbas kept him in Iran with full respect for two years, and finally in 1029 AH / 1619 AD allowed him to return and sent one of his commanders named Zainal Beg Shamlu with him, accompanied by a friendly letter and abundant gifts.
