How Iran Found Its Feet in Afghanistan

24th October, 2019 · admin 99 Comments

Foreign Affairs: Iran wants to see stability in Afghanistan. The Soviet occupation and subsequent instability sent an estimated three million Afghan refugees into Iran, where their presence strained resources and public services in many towns and cities across the country. Moreover, Tehran fears that Saudi Arabia will exploit volatility in Afghanistan to cultivate proxies on Iran’s eastern flank. Click here to read more (external link).

      On the contrary; the fact is,
      that
      the
      Iranians actually found their
      heads,
      looking for great opportunities
      inside
      Afghanistan, ever since the great invasion of 2001- check

            Afghanistan, Iran and all other surrounding countries have strong Islamic foundations that they could easily build up on their diplomatic
            relationships-
            they do not need flaky nationalism and distorted,
            (mostly-made-up historical models),
            to divide themselves as rivals and even deadly enemies.

          and

          Their local language skills,

    of
    people who would have had been able to exclusively dominate the region as; so called, ARYANS and/or any other groups of people, for a long time.

    Nonetheless; various parts of the South Asia and at one point or another were indeed happen to turn as
    major historical players
    in and around
    the region, on temporary basis items or even for hundreds of years. You might even could possibly be able to discover their huge impacts through layers of long historical times; but, it does not mean exclusivity under lights of so man thousands and upon thousand of years of extreme turn overs.

    of
    the region from
    Iraq all the way to Central Asia and Northern India, since the expansions and consolidation of Islam during first half of the second millennium.

    The “modern Farsi” language
    formation has its roots from the heavy absorption of Arabic vocabulary and the adaptations of its alphabets, from the early phases of Muslim expansions up until late 8th century.
    .
    It rapidly spread out and solidified from
    eastern borders
    of
    Iraq all the way
    to
    Central Asia and northern India.
    •

    • BAGHLANI says:
      October 27, 2019 at 4:58 am

      The roots
      of
      the modern
      “Farsi language
      actually developed, introduced and promoted by the orders of the early Muslim Arab leaders who were initially directly ruling those vast areas up until most early parts of 9th century.
      .
      The modern Farsi language was heavily mixed up with local languages; as Islam kept sweeping through and rapidly expanded towards Central Asia and northern India.

      The early Arab Muslim leaders of those regions were calling the new language “Farsi”,; as it was initially getting mixed up and interacting with frontier languages
      in
      Fars province of modern Iran and was spreading fast
      beyond, under newly-developing Arabic grammar and alphabet formats.

      Early Muslim Arab rulers; Islamic scholars; prominent religious figures and esteemed poets were, most likely, behind the rapid refinements that surfaced its mature form; sometimes, after the local dynasties appeared on the scene as ruling elite
      during new political phases
      of
      9th and 10th centuries.
      .
      Regional dynasties; such as,
      Samanid dynasty (819 to 999)
      of
      Central Asia an
      Safaryans (861-1093)
      of
      Zarange were the two major impetus behind rapid developments, expansions and refinements of the new vibrant language,
      .

      • BAGHLANI says:
        October 27, 2019 at 5:12 am

        The newly-developing
        Farsi language, directly and/or indirectly, was heavily interacting with other languages. It was also embracing, quite a bit, from Chinese, Sanskrit and highly developed local languages.

        • BAGHLANI says:

          Again’ the nomenclature,
          “FARSI”, was, most likely, coined by earlier Arab ruler of the 7th venture who had picked it up, basically, from its earlier versions before the spread of Islam.
          .
          The Muslim fullers
          took overs the region east of Iraq from the deeply-rooted coalitions of
          regionally-unitef
          dynasties that the Arabs were calling it as neighboring
          “FARS EMPIRE,
          ((AMPA-RAHTOARI
          OF
          FARS))
          •
          =================
          The Fars empire clearly had it roots from the ancient Mesopotamia- most of the ancient
          Fars capitals located either inside the modern Iraq and /or near its shifting eastern borderlines.

          Therefor;
          Fars empire was, either a Mesopotamian Empire and/or its close Settlite.on the eastern margins of ancient, (proper), Mesopotamia.

    The Tang Dynasty was pushed out east from fertile Farghana valley region, (750 A.D.) right at the junction when Islamic power shift took place ((from
    Amawweds to Abassed rules
    in
    BAGHDAD, IRAQ (around 750 A.D.)).

    Similarly; at the same fast rate, Islamic faith was expanding and spreading south towards north-east Sub-continents ((under the Himalayas range and towards Decan interior highlands
    of
    the Sub-continent)).

    Ghaznavid dynasty (977 to 1186)
    was
    clearly the remnants of the
    religiously-devoted original
    Farsi-speaking Arabs and local domains which inherited the power from the declining Samanids of Central Asia.
    .
    SOOLTAHN MAHMOOD
    OF
    GHAZNA
    established the most
    powerful and literarily enlightening period
    of his time in heartlands
    of
    Afghanistan.
    .
    Sooltahn Mahmood’s domains included
    All of Iran; Pakistan; Azerbaijan; some parts of India and Central Asia.
    .
    He was the
    original founder of the one of the
    most powerful Islamic empire in heartlands
    of
    medieval Afghanistan- his tough religious philosophical leanings and advocations of Arabic/Farsi language had tremendous impacts on subsequent
    literary and cultural
    lives
    of
    the common folks of the whole region across Central Asia, Iran; Caucasus and Sub-continent India.

          Farsi language can
          be
          best,
          ((my personal *opinion)), categorized
          into
          three very simple regionally-based
          dialects.
          ==================
          1- Ghaznawi Farsi: (spoken in Eastern, northern and Central Afghanistan.
          .
          2- Khorasani Farsi:
          ((spoken in northeast Iran and northwest Afghanistan))- mostly developed during the earlier rules of the original Arabs and later reign of the Taymoryans of
          Central Asia ((Summarkand and Bokharah)).

          Early MERVE AND HERAT turned into major literary and military strongholds and centers during the rules
          of
          various Arab, up to early 800’s A.D., local and Taymoryan dynasties
          (1400’s A.D.).
          .
          3- Seljuki. Farsi:
          ((spoken in west of Iran; including Tehran)).
          The Turkic Seljuks politically dominated whole of Iran, for several centuries, after wresting the control of the areas from the Ghaznawis
          in
          1040 A.D.

    GHAZNAVID EMPIRE
    ================
    ===============•
    It actually, quietly branched off from the declining Samanid dynasty, at the closing days of first Millennium (around 1000 A.D.)
    .
    Alip-Tageen was the top commander of the most powerful Korassan division,
    (near MERV), of of the Samanid empire which (at various times) were being ruled out
    of
    Summarkand and and Bukhara
    in
    Central Asia proper.
    ===============
    ==============••

    Under the lights of the resurgent
    Kara-Khanid persistent attacks; (late 900 A.D.); weakening of the Saminids power bases, a dispute over the succession for the new king arose, all, after the death of
    Abdul Malik
    of
    Samanid
    in
    961.
    .
    Alip Tageen threw his support for another family member of the royalty other than the designated prince.
    .
    Initially; it looked like Ali-Tageen’s
    choice was going to ascend to the throne as the
    ruler of the Samanids; but, due to the royal court firm support the, prince ( Mansur I) was eventually triumphed.
    .
    That awkward turns of events soured
    the top general’s relations with the Samanid
    Cory elite
    ========•
    Apparently( after that incident;
    Alip-Tageen, (acting on his own initiatives), along his supporters,
    took an urgent flight out
    of (MERV AND ITS IMMEDIATE VICINITIES),
    Khorasan and made their way south in a bet to wrest the control of strategic
    Ghazni big town. He stayed in charge of the city; in spite of still remaining under Samanid authority at large.
    =========
    Sabuktigin (the son in law
    of
    Alip Tageen) ) founded the
    Ghaznawi dynasty, (977–1163),
    (sometimes a few years later),
    after the death
    of
    his
    father-in-law.

    Sooltahn Mahmood took active parts in his father’s earlier military campaigns
    to
    unite all the earlier Islamic domains, all the way to Iraq border which meant all
    of
    today’s Iran and Azerbaijan before he initiated and embarked on any major campaigns to Islamize India..

    He had all extreme rich domain and fertile land under his authority and totally devoted subjects already to rely on before he set out
    to
    Islamize India- he was basically a medieval religious extremist that wanted to enlighten the way he though was best for the locals in India..

    I am (%100 sure) he was not invading India
    to
    plunder and/or inflict random damage for no reason- again; it was extreme religious mind set
    back then that had to be done certain way that is not acceptable any more at all.

    A lot

    are still
    insulting him, and (in fact) Muslims, as well, for something that was happening more than one
    thousand years ago- which
    was
    a
    norm back then and have absolutely nothing
    to
    do with state of the current global affairs.

    more than
    50 odd years
    to
    build one of the most

    before

    set it all up

        Deadly struggles
        ((between the two brothers)),
        in
        GHAZNI
        that

          The
          Ghaznawids
          eventually lost
          all of the territories
          across

    Examine
    historical notes
    from
    early 960’s
    to
    1030 A.D.
    when
    Sooltahn Mahmood of Ghazna
    and
    his
    father
    built
    a
    huge, United
    and
    powerful
    empire. The next decade-long internal wars
    of
    attritions that followed, caused
    stagnations and disintegrations- all due
    to
    greedy family
    feuds
    and
    hot clashes
    of
    the two twin brothers
    to
    gain the upper hand.

      Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and Pakistan basically were living under one common history in the same area and still culturely
      closely-aligned.

  28. BAGHLANI says:
    October 31, 2019 at 3:41 am

    Under the reign of Massood I, they lost Iran and Central Asia to Turkish Seljuq dynasty after
    the
    Battle of Dandanaqan (1040)
    near Metv in Khorassahn (south of today’s Turkmenistan.
    .
    Iran remained under
    Turkish and
    Khawarizm Shahans
    of
    Central Asia
    up until the invasion and annexations
    of
    the Mongols in and around 1220- the Mongol rule lasted till the invasion
    of
    the
    Ameer Taymoor of Summarkand
    (around early 1360’s to around 1400A.D., who defeated and drove elite Mongol elite underground
    in
    Iran.
    =============
    =============
    Herat was always
    a
    part of the
    greater KHORASSAN

    during 1400’s
    and
    never came under full control of the
    Safawis and/or later
    KAH-JARIS who actually invaded the region with.the initially-active blessings of the English empire
    in
    India
    back then in early 1830’s and 1840’s was conceiving a huge plan of conquest of Afghanistan.
    They never succeeded in Herat.
    ===================
    I would like to add that the English historians have had been distorting the facts of the attacks
    of
    Afghanistan during numerous attacks of their Indian troops and/or their proxies around the undefined borders of Afghanistan, back then
    in
    1800’s.
