Why the Hormuz remains open for India…
Why the Hormuz remains open for India…
Before Modi. Before Pezeshkian.
Before India. Before Iran.
There were two peoples who were one.
Indians called their land Aryavarta.
Iranians called theirs Airyanem Vaejah.
Both meant land of the 'Arya', of the honourable.
They were not neighbours. They were one people.
The Sanskrit word for seven is Sapta.
In Avestan, the Iranian tongue, it became Hapta.
The Sanskrit word for river is Sindhu.
In Persian it became Hindu.
India is called Sapta-Sindhu in the Vedas.
Hapta-Hindu in the Avesta.
Hindustan is not an Indian name.
Persians gave it to us.
Our gods were their gods.
Varuna became Ahura Mazda.
Agni became Atar.
Yama became Yima.
Sarasvati became Anahita.
Soma became Haoma.
Garuda became Faravahar.
Not coincidence.
One civilisation.
Two branches.
And the gods were not just in texts.
In Lorestan, Iran, a 3,200-year-old plaque was found. Of Ganesha
Shiva's trident appeared on Persian royal coins.
Titled 'Lord of all the World'.
In Bandar Abbas, Iran, a Vishnu temple still stands.
Krishna's murals are still on its walls.
The regime turned it into a museum.
They could not dare to erase the paintings.
The father of Darius the Great was Hystaspes.
He studied under Brahmins in Bharat.
He brought that knowledge back to Persia.
He gave it to the Magi.
Taxila, India's greatest ancient university, had Persian administrators.
They debated. They traded.
Two great civilizations. Not one war between them.
They never invaded each other for over 3000 years.
Then came 7th century CE.
Islam swept through Persia like fire through dry grass.
The Sassanian Empire collapsed in 651 CE.
Zoroastrians were hunted.
Their fire temples destroyed. Their scholars killed.
They ran. They sailed across the Arabian Sea.
They landed in Gujarat between 785 and 936 CE.
They knocked on India's door. India opened it.
No conditions. No conversion demands. Just shelter.
They became the Parsis.
They brought their sacred flame with them.
That flame still burns today. In Udvada, Gujarat.
Iranshah Atash Behram. Over 1,000 years.
The oldest living fire of Zoroastrianism.
Not in Tehran. Not in Shiraz.
In Bharat.
India saved Persian civilization when Persia could not save itself.
Those in Iran today also know it. They know it deep within.
They are one with Indians. They may have been converted hundreds of years ago, but the DNA still remembers.
Sanskrit was suppressed. Taxila forgotten.
Iran became Shia Islamic.
The connection nearly lost.
But the trust survived. It always does.
That is why one call is enough.
That is why the Hormuz stays open.
This is not only a relationship between current leaders
This is a civilizational trust
