In 1698, a child was born in the mountainous regions of North Khorasan. Despite the fact that he came from no royal lineage-his father was a mere shepherd-he would one day become the last of the Asiatic world-conquerors, in the vein of Timur and Chinggis Khan. The boy’s name was Nadr-Qoli, meaning “servant of the wonderous one (God)”. There was nothing about Nadr-Qoli’s circumstances which marked him out for greatness. His ancestry was undistinguished, his place of birth remote, and his social connection were unremarkable. The collapse of the Safavid Empire, however, would provide the opening that a young ambitious man required. With Persia being overrun by the Hotaks, Nader took charge of the fight back, expelling the Afghans from the country. From there he established the Afsharid Dynasty and declared his mission to conquer lands in all directions. In the process, he became Asia’s Last Great Conqueror.

I even remember reading somewhere that one of his actual nicknames _was_ "Nader of France" (but I'm not sure how true this is). So, I think calling Napoleon "Nader of France" would be more justified than calling Nader "Napoleon of Persia."

He sacked Delhi, but didn't annex it. But regardless, his actions cemented the decline of Muslim power in India. He and his protégé Abdali all but guaranteed that the Mughals, and other North Indian Muslim nobles, would lack the resources to rule. And a few generations later, it led to Muslims being limited to the peripheries of India (i.e. Pakistan and Bangladesh).

Napoleon literally had to fight the most powerful countries on earth and not only defeated them but until 1809 he made it look exceptionally easily. Even after 1809 the allies were only able to beat him by copying him and not engaging him directly in combat until they had overwhelming superiors in numbers. They’re both brilliant but there’s a reason Napoleon is considered the best.

Napoleon stopped searching when he was defeated, but Nader Shah was defeated only once in his life, by Topal Pasha of the Ottoman Empire. After his defeat, he quickly returned to Iran and prepared an army. People from all over Iran came to his aid. Topal still Not happy for his victory, when Nader's new army reached him, Nader fought again with Topal and defeated Topal Pasha and killed him in the middle of the battle. He sent Topal Pasha's body to Istanbul with respect. Nader the Great was a legend.

The comparison between Napoleon and Nader is deeper and more fitting than it may appear. Like Napoleon-who dreamed of uniting all of Europe under the banner of France-Nader had dreams of uniting the Islamic world under the banner of Iran-both of them failed. Both of these guys were also nationalists and thought that their country is superior to all the rest. They were both brilliant commanders, politicians and conquerors, and lived during the same historical period (Early Modern period), separated by only a few decades.

Nader's empire at its peak was larger than Napoleon's empire at its peak. So It is more accurate to say Napoleon was Nader of the west rather than Nader was Napoleon of the east. Also you failed to mention that Nader firmly believed in separation of religious establishments from state. Naader was a great warrior and war tactician but not a statesman. He went mad during the last years of his reign. But never the lest he saved Iran.

I read book about him. It describes how Persia was constantly financially broke because he needed the money to fund his armies. So he used his armies to raid neighbours. His Indian “conquest” was nothing more than raid. He was a constant thorn to the Ottomans. Defeating them several times. He “innovated” a special type of mobile artillery. Camels had small cannons strapped to them. Like a medieval Toyota with a .50Cal gun. The biggest what if was when he nearly went to battle against the Russians. The Russian had a Prussian style army and doctrine. It would have been interesting how his tactics would do well against Prussian military doctrine.

I am currently working to get my research monograph on post-Safavid and Naderid Iran published with a university press, and I am curious to see what kind of topics you find interesting on this subject (Iranian imperial identity? Nader's military reforms? the structure of his empire? his claims to the legacy of Timur? his religious reforms to unify Shia and Sunni?). -Amir

it would be great if you could prepare a video about the relationship between iranian dynasties and turkmen subjects since the latter was main part of rebellious groups and the core part of imperial army. as far as I know all of irans turkic dynasties used Turkmen to found their empire but then all those dynasties had to fight against turkmen at some point.

It would be interesting to see new findings about the legitimacy issue of Nodir. Obviously, Nodir was quite a weak figure in terms of legitimate power. Therefore, it would be interesting to research to understand to what extent Nodir's legitimacy was weak and what was Nodir's vision on establishing his legitimacy to rule

Nadir Shah is a Trojan horse that entered the Islamic world. It weakened the Ottomans who were fighting the Crusaders in the west. He fought against the Turans who fought against the Russians in the north. Since Turan was weakened, the Russians captured Turan in these years. He disgraced the Mughal empire, which led to local tribal uprisings in India. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Mughal Emperor in the south of India, non-Muslim Indians, in cooperation with the British, destroyed the weakened Mughal Empire. The effect is still felt today. His sect is none of my business. When I look at the results, he always fought with Muslims. The wars he fights are wars fought only to satisfy his own ego.

An apt way to put it. He is like Timur, in this sense. Timur caused the Ottoman Interregnum, puppeteered Turco-Mongol Khans, and destabilized the Tughlaq dynasty in India. Nader did basically the same thing, but in the early-modern age. As for his religion, his official espousal of a heretical sect is condemnable enough. But it's possible he was an atheist.

About the Turkic origin of Nader Shah Afshar and the Afsharid dynasty: "Born in November 1688 into a humble pastoral family, then at its winter camp in Darra Gaz in the mountains north of Mashad, Nāder belonged to a group of the Qirqlu branch of the Afšār Turkmen. Beginning in the 16th century, the Safavids had settled groups of Afšārs in northern Khorasan to defend Mashad against Uzbek incursions." "Nāder's focus on common Turkmen descent likewise was designed to establish a broad political framework that could tie him, more closely than his Safavid predecessors, to both Ottomans and Mughals. When describing Nāder's coronation, Astarābādi called the assembly on the Moğān steppe a quriltäy, evoking the practice of Mughal and Timurid conclaves that periodically met to select new khans. In various official documents, Nāder recalled how he, Ottomans, Uzbeks, and Mughals shared a common Turkmen heritage. This concept for him resembled, in broad terms, the origin myths of 15th century Anatolian Turkmen dynasties. However, since he also addressed the Mughal emperor as a "Turkmen" ruler, Nāder implicitly extended the word "Turkmen" to refer, not only to progeny of the twenty-four Gozz tribes, but to Timur's descendants as well." - Encyclopædia Iranica, Nāder Shah

19:48 Majority of the inhabitants of Hindustan , as the name suggests, are Hindus. During Mughal rule, Muslims formed around 10-20 % of the population. Due to uneven birth rates ( Muslim birth rate being higher) and subsequent conversions, the proportion of Muslim population did increase. But even now in 2024, Muslims form only around 1/3rd of population of the subcontinent. • Total population of the subcontinent = 1.4 billion (India) + 250 million (Pakistan) + 186 million (Bangladesh) = 1.836 billion • Total Muslim population = 220 million (India) + 240 million (Pakistan) + 170 million (Bangladesh) = 630 million Now, we calculate the percentage: approx 34.3 %

@@persianguy1524 Besides territorial integrity, two alternative concepts of sovereignty to replace the crumbling dynastic ideal can be discerned in Nadir Shah's negotiations with the Ottomans in the 1730s. Nadir proposed equal relations based, first, on Ottoman recognition of the legitimacy of Twelver Shiism as a fifth school of orthodox Islamic law. And second, he proposed something akin to an ethnic or national concept - equal relations based on Nadir Shah's identity as a member of the noble Turkmen family of peoples." Howard, D. (2017). A History of the Ottoman Empire. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. pp.192 To justify his stance and claim a common heritage with the Ottomans, he invoked the history of Chinggis Khan: In the time of Chingiz Khan, the leaders of the Turkman tribes, who had left the land of Turan and migrated to Iran and Anatolia, were said to be all of one stock and one lineage. At that time, the exalted ancestor of the dynasty of the ever-increasing state [the Ottoman Empire] headed to Anatolia and our ancestor settled in the provinces of Iran. Since these lineages are interwoven and interconnected, it is hoped that when his royal highness learns of them, he will give royal consent to the establishment of peace between [us]. In a letter presented to the Ottomans after his assumption of the title of shah in 1736 Nadir claimed legitimacy simply as a Turk, stating that “kingship is the ancestral right of the exalted Turkmen tribe.” Thus the rulers of the regional states - the Chinggisid khans of Khiva, the Timurid/Chinggisid Mughals, the Ottomans, and Nadir himself, all had equal legitimacy. Furthermore, in a deliberate attempt to reverse the abandonment of the glorification of Genghis-Khanid descent as a ''branch of the tree of unbelief'' by Ismacil, Nadir tried to revive the pre-Safavid Turkman tribal principles of legitimacy, which had not been given currency since the fifteenth century. In a letter to the Ottoman grand vizier, Nadir states that the dignitaries of Iran gathered in the plain of Mughan "elected our august Majesty to kingship and sovereignty which are the hereditary prerogatives of the noble Turkman tribe." Mulla cAli Akbar, his Mulla-bashi, opens his pan-Islamic sermon in Kufah with the eulogy of Nadir not only as the shadow of God on earth, but also as the scion of the Turkman tree and heir to Genghis Khan. However, after Nadir's death, Safavid descent, often with a marked emphasis on its religious character, remained the most viable ground of legitimacy for rulership.

Greetings from Brazil. We Brazilians are so far from this region of the world that everything narrated in this video is new here.

​​​@@persianguy1524About the Turkic origin of Nader Shah Afshar and the Afsharid dynasty: "Born in November 1688 into a humble pastoral family, then at its winter camp in Darra Gaz in the mountains north of Mashad, Nāder belonged to a group of the Qirqlu branch of the Afšār Turkmen. Beginning in the 16th century, the Safavids had settled groups of Afšārs in northern Khorasan to defend Mashad against Uzbek incursions." "Nāder's focus on common Turkmen descent likewise was designed to establish a broad political framework that could tie him, more closely than his Safavid predecessors, to both Ottomans and Mughals. When describing Nāder's coronation, Astarābādi called the assembly on the Moğān steppe a quriltäy, evoking the practice of Mughal and Timurid conclaves that periodically met to select new khans. In various official documents, Nāder recalled how he, Ottomans, Uzbeks, and Mughals shared a common Turkmen heritage. This concept for him resembled, in broad terms, the origin myths of 15th century Anatolian Turkmen dynasties. However, since he also addressed the Mughal emperor as a "Turkmen" ruler, Nāder implicitly extended the word "Turkmen" to refer, not only to progeny of the twenty-four Gozz tribes, but to Timur's descendants as well." - Encyclopædia Iranica, Nāder Shah

It is interesting to know that Mirza Shafi Mazandarani (the minister of Agha Muhammad Khan Qajar) suggested that Shah Rukh Shah(the Nader Shah's sun) and one of his sons should be exiled to Mazandaran to his former friends who were rulers there and where he was born( Band Pey of Barforush). Shah Rukh died on the way and Shah Rukh's son was exiled to Mazandaran and the desired place. The son of Shah Rukh Shah was tortured like Shah Rukh Shah at the time of Agha Mohammad Khan or Fath Ali Shah and died under torture. Apparently, they realized that Shah Rukh Shah's son had not revealed the whereabouts of all the jewels. I personally believe that a sun of Shahrokh Shah was a hostage for King Fath Ali Shah as art painter. IMPORTANT: This information comes from some local sources, but there is no record of it.

It is well possible that he used the notion "Turkuman" (Turkman / Torkman) for all the Turks (Törek) who became Muslims. However, I am very unsure about the claim that he may have used the notion "Turan" for area north of Afghanistan. It would be helpful to have a document like a map or a statement from him or others about the naming of the regions. I was assuming that in 19th & 20th century (our young history) "Turan" was used by the orientalist and British colonialists who wanted to use an "unity of the Turks" to carve up China and Russia in many parts.
