This gesture highlights the continued diplomatic relations between India and Iran, particularly in the context of regional politics and cooperation. The congratulatory message can also explore the historical context of India-Iran relations.
The 10 Days of Dawn (FAJR) ritual commemorates a pivotal moment in Iran’s modern history, reinforces the country’s revolutionary identity and anti-imperialist stance. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, relations between Iran and India were strengthened.
Jaishankar said on his social media platform:
This message highlights the importance of Iran in India’s foreign policy.
This interaction could pave the way for further diplomatic engagements between the two countries.
The ties between Iran and India return to the great Cyrus Persian Empire. Nations have long influenced each other in their culture, art, architecture and language.
