Answer 1

Humayun’s fascination with Persia - Mughal King, Humayun, was driven out of India by Sher Shah Suri and spent 15 years (1540 - 1555) in exile in Persia. It was the support given by the Safavid Dynasty of Persia that helped him to regain foothold in India. Humayun, who was ethnically Chagatai Turk from Central Aisa, came from a rustic culture used to riding horses, living in tents akin to nomads. During his exile in Iran, he was bedazzled with Persia and its refined culture. This started a trend of Persian soldiers, nobles, artists, architects, poets, calligraphy experts, physicians, and administrators settling in India throughout the Mughal Empire. Centers like Isfahan and Shiraz would turn out to be sources of inspiration for later Mughal Kings. Persian became the official language of the Mughal Courts and would stay that way for few centuries before English took over.
