Abstract :

The land of Deccan in South India has attracted the attention of many Muslims since the first centuries of the rise and spread of Islam, and groups of Muslim merchants and Sufis entered this region for the purpose of trade and also to propagate Islam. The migration of these people had many consequences in the fields of literature, art and religion in Deccan.The present research aims to answer the question of what were the causes and factors of the migration of Iranian Shiites to the Deccan region (Bahmanian rule) in this period, and the literary and artistic effects of this, using the historical research method which is based on description and analysis. Check immigration?The findings of the present research show that the roots of the Shia religion, which was established during the Bahmani period, and their support for Shia immigrants who migrated from Iran and Arab lands to the Deccan led to the spread of the Shia religion, the spread of Iranian-Islamic culture and civilization in Daccan. One of the most important results of their presence as cultural missionaries was by creating educational institutions and using the presence of scholars to create a suitable environment for literary support. Valuable works that were written in this period brought the Persian language to its peak.
