A Surrey on the Quality of Tahmasb's Behavior towards Humayun (Indian Refugee Emperor) by an Qutlook to the Indian Historiography

Naser-ed Din Mohammad Humayun took refuge (in 951 A.H.) in Tahmasb court. But the main question is that how was the Tahmasb’s politico-religious behavior towards Humayun; because the quality of this behavior has been reflected by an Indian Sunnite current of historiography that seems fanatic and tendentious. According to this current, Tahmasb’s manner towards Humayun was humiliating and harsh. Therefore, this paper is trying to show- by a comparative study of the Indian and Iranian sources- that the quality of Tahmasb’s behavior and the rightness and non-rightness of that Indian Historiography. Hence, this study shows that Humayun, having a Shiite tendency and because of his political situation as an Indian emperor and an ally of Iran, was respected by Tahmasb in Safavid’s court.
