The thirteenth century
The late twelfth century coincided with the start of the ministry of Ghulam Sayed Khan, known as Aristotle Jah(218-1195 / 1804-1781), the Shiite Minister of Mir Nezam Ali Khan Asif Jah II (1218-1176 / 1803-1762). In 1212/1797 Safdar Ali Khan (son of Mohammad Ismail Shiraz) granted the ministry position to Aristotle Jah. Mohammed Hadi Hosseini Safavi wrote a paper in letters and occult sciences in Hyderabad. It was at this time (around 1209/1794), Sheikh Hassan bin Mohsen came from Bahrain to Hyderabad, where he lived and where he died. Hakim Nur al-Din Mohammad Kashani (Live in 1208/1794) that morning and Sabah was the pen name, lived for the same period in Hyderabad.

Another poetic treatise was written by Jaafari in 1246/1831 for Munir al-Mulk. B.

Quattrocento
The immigrations and calls of Iranian scholars with Hyderabad are less visible in this period but it would not be disrupted totally. Sheikh Mohammad Ali Khorasani Tabasi Haeri, the author of ''the proof of prophet hood and the light of eyes'' moved to Hyderabad. He died when PKK 1320/1902 in Karbala.
A supreme Leader from Ghatif named Sheik Hassan Ali Badr bin Abdullah Al after a stay of several months in Hyderabad and Lucknow in 1329/1912 returned to Najaf. Seyyed Abdullah Khan (bin Sultan ol Ulema Agha Syed Ali Shooshtari) has composed some odes in praise of Lord of War III in the year 1332/1914.

He was responsible for teaching the community of Army and scholar Rashid Turabi, the famous orator of the subcontinent, has been his pupil. He died in the city in the year 1341/1923.

Seyyed Mohammad Hussein known as the Great Seyyed (son of Mohammad Ja'far ibn Muhammad Husain ibn Ja'far al-Tayeb Bin Mohammed Bin Nur al-Din ibn al-Moussawi Ne'matollah Algeria) (1350-1275 / 1931-1858), and Sheikh Mohammed Ali bin Mohammed Reza Naini are of scholars that have been living in Hyderabad in this period. One of the more recent scholars of this period is Seyyed Ibrahim Razavi (Seyyed Ibrahim Bin Abbas Bin Ibrahim Bin Heyder bin Abbas bin Ali bin Abdul Qadir bin Muhammad bin Hassan) who belong to the family of the Najafi. He was born in 1295/1878 in the areas of Hyderabad and died in this city. He has left poem in praise of al-Nabi (PBUH) called Deccan Lamyeh.
After the Kings in the period Asif pole Jahan, Persian remained as the official language and the language of religion, literature and bureaucracy and many religious and scientific books, and works of poetry and literature, history, medicine, etc., was written in Persian, and this trend has been continued more or less until the end of the century 13/19. But from mid-century the Persian popularity was waning as the official language although it is taught as part of school teaching program and this continued until the mid-twentieth century. More educated Iranians who have gone to India in the recent period had been Persian and Arabic teachers. At the beginning of the last century Mohammad Quli Khan Gharaei Khorasani, the father of my maternal grandfather, came from Khorasan to Hyderabad. He was invited as a teacher and the coach of third hero. Mohammad Reza different field, my grandfather, known as Mr. Big Shirazi, from Shiraz in higher school and college system has been teaching Persian and Arabic. Among Iranians who came to Hyderabad in this period Fathallah bin Haji Abdul Rahim Yazdi is known as Mattoon e Yazdi. In the year 1330/1912 he was a Persian teacher at the College and he has several works. Sheikh Mohammad Tehrani was Another Iranian instructor in Hyderabad, who returned after the fall of Hyderabad to Iran and Iraq. But one of the most important figures of Persian literature in this period was Seyyed Mohammad Ali Dai al-Islam, who is the author of Culture. He has been buried next to the great believer in Hassan al-Asad Ali Razavi, Isfahan, known as Seyyed Hassan Muscat (d. 1947) who spent some time in the Deccan. Shah Abbas Khorasani, the spiritual and orator, and Seyyed of Samsam Shirazi, is the director of the College of Shiraz; Iranian figures are the latest to years after the occupation of the Nizam of Hyderabad by the Indian army (1367/1948) have cultural activities in the city.
Muslims in India over the past two centuries have been subjected to the worst kind of cultural invasion. In the first phase of their invasion they lost their cultural heritage, mostly in Persian. However, they tried to observe some part of their cultural capital in the form of Urdu that was maintained and saved in the same way that the Osmania University where education in all disciplines in the camp by the Hyderabad's Budget Law. But the British have their cultural policies towards Muslims disappeared, and they were the target of the second stage of the offensive in which the military as well as its position as the official language and lost by a university education. As a result the majority of the new generation is free to read and write in Urdu and thus for the second time its relationship with its cultural heritage has been lost.
British historians and following the centuries-old Indian historians of Islamic civilization Persian civilization aborted in India (aborted civilization) civilization meant the attempt or aborting called civilization. They are ignorant of the fact that this continuous major civilizations is impossible in the language of the Qur'an destroyed root and branch it is fixed in the sky and as the keeper out of the shell universe.
The times of Strengths and weaknesses, ups and downs form a part of the history of nations, and we hope with dark clouds scattered and short theoretical bias, to use and power of God to the people of India once again that will be the success of the heritage of its past a way to benefit.
Shawwal 1434 will be in accordance with 400th anniversary of the death of the deceased Mir momeni Astarabadi and I hope Iranian scientists and scholars of the subcontinent, seized the opportunity to recover the history of Shi'ism in the Deccan and the restoration of its heritage and should take long steps.
