Iranian Physicians at the Gurkanian Court in India

During the Safavid period, many artists, scholars, poets and artisans proceeded to India to settle in a country where Gurkani kings were known for their support of literary and artistic people. Among these classes, there were also some Iranian physicians who were able to move up the steps with medical skills and expertise, and they could be found in the specialty physicians in that court. Some of these physicians also known poetry, and sometimes wrote their own compilations in the field of medicine in a disciplined manner.
The present research, developed by descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, attempts to introduce Iranian physicians by examining the causes and factors of their immigration to the subcontinent and their performance. The necessity of this research is that so far no independent research has been conducted on the Iranian Safavid physicians at the Gurkanian court in India.
