Ignorance about India-Iran relationship history!
by Ahmad Nawaz on Jul 22, 2008 11:50 AM

I am an Indian who is 1/2 Mughal and a scholar of Hinduism and Islamic history. I am surprised to see the lack of knowledge on part of those making ridiculous statements about everything on this board. Let me start by stating some basic facts. Pakistan and Iran are and have had and still have a fractured relationship. Pakistan is a Wahabi Militant State funded by Saudis. The Wahabis in Pakistan and Afghanistan under Taliban killed more Shia muslims than anybody else. Iran is a majority Shia Muslim state. Currently Saudis and Pakistan's ISI are hell bent on spreading their brand of religion amongst Indian Muslims who up untill now have mostly been regular Sunni Muslims. Ask any Iranian or Shia Muslim and they would tell you that they would be more comfortable trusting their life over to a snake rather than a Wahabi. This distrust and animosity lead Iran to ALWAYS speak in favor of India's arguemnt about Kashmir at the UN!!!! Iran is the last country that would want Kashmir to be annexed by Pakistan! The Aryans or the High Caste Pundits of Northern India are direct decsendents of Iranians (which literally in Persian stands for Aryan). Iranians being ethnocentric always considered Indians to be off shoots of their own race or their cousins if you may. These three HUGE factors have always and still seem to bind Iranians to Indians.
