The Achaemenids developed an ingenious irrigation system in their satrapies situated in the North-Western India, for the benefit of the agriculture and also provided a fillip to the westerly commerce of this region by opening the trade routes. Artisans, scribes and artists from Persia sought refuge in India, gained patronage and enriched the Mauryan age. Gaining lessons from the political experiences and mistakes of the Achaemenids, the Mauryans formed a sturdy centralised administration in India. They organised a court culture heavily influenced by Persian traditions and etiquette. From the first christening of India as "Hindv" to the present day, Indo-Iranian contacts have been largely harmonious, complimentary and beneficial for the human heritage. May it be the development of language, grammar, script and the exposition in shape of poetry (shayari, ghazal, nazm, rubayi) and music (qawwali) or the expression in fine arts, calligraphy (nashtaliq, kufic), painting (Mughal miniatures), sculpture (Pillar capitals of Ashokan monoliths) and architecture (Kumrahar Palace to the Taj Mahal); or in the field of philosophy (Zoroastrian and Manichean), mysticism (Tassawuf) and thought (Sufism); or the disciplines of knowledge for human welfare like medicine, sciences, mathematics etc., the Indo-Iranian interaction remains a remarkable contribution to mankind. Indo-Iranian interaction encompasses many different facets e.g., political, social and economic interaction; art, architecture; religion, philosophy including Zoroastrianism and Sufism; literature, epic and poetry; language and calligraphy; life-styles and court culture etc. during all the periods of history, from ancient to the contemporary."
