Tahmasb-Humayun Allience and the Role of Shiism
Abstract
Shiism was an important factor in Safavid-Mughal relationships since the very beginning. Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, had received the support of the Safavids against the Uzbek attacks by accepting Shiism. Humayun who took the helm of the state after Babur wanted to regain the throne he lost after being unsuccessful against Afghan Shir Shah. He inclined to Shiism in order to get help from Shah Tahmmasb, the ruler of Safavid. Tahmasb had agreed to help to Humayun provided he accepted Shiism due to Shir Shah was in search of making an alliance with the Ottomans. Thus, he would have obtained the opportunity to spread the Shia and Persian culture in India. Humayun had political goals and Tahmasb had both political and religious goals on this cooperation of the two rulers on Shiism. In this study, it will be examined how Humayun and Tahmasb follow a way of achieving their goals through Shiism. In addition, it will be revealed whether these rulers are succesfull or not to achieve their goals.
