Abstract

Mirza lalal .Dd - Din Tabatabai, also known as Mirza lalal is one of the most prominent literary figures who not only produced a great deal of persian literature, both in prose and in verse, in the South Asian Subcontinent but also was a medium in arousing the interest of the local literates in that region.
He migrated to India three centuries ago. A well- known literary figure as he was, he not only emerged as a strong cultural link between the Safavi and the South Asian subcontinent also initiated a distinct style of his own in epistology whose influence can still be noticed in the works of contemporary Indian writers.
His literary and cultural contributions on which the dust of oblivion had settled for a very long time, form the subject of the present article which, it is hoped, would atrract the attention of all those who are devoted to the immortal beauty of the persian literature and are held only keenly interested in viewing it in South Asia, but are aslo perpetually engaged in tracing its history and background in that regoin.
