Indo-Persian Literature

Indo-Persian literature refers to the body of literary works produced in South Asia, primarily in Persian, during the medieval period, especially under various Islamic empires like the Mughal Empire. It blends Persian literary traditions with local languages and cultures, resulting in rich poetry, prose, and historical writings. Prominent figures include poets like Mirza Ghalib and historic texts such as the "Baburnama." This literature not only highlights themes of love, spirituality, and nature but also reflects the cultural and philosophical exchanges between India and Persia, shaping the region's artistic heritage.
