Mir Mohammad Momin Astarabadi (1553-1626), was an immigrant who left a career at the Safavid court and came to the Qutb Shahi to serve as the top advisor at the Qutb Shahi’s court from c. 1581 to 1625. He worked as Peshwa (prime minister) under Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah and Muhammad Qutb Shah. He was second in power only to the Sultan, in addition to being a noted poet and a respected and devout member of the Ulama. He contributed the Qutb Shahi Deccan period with his scholarship and the literature. The Persian manuscript Insha-i Qasir-i Tabbasi, in the Salar Jung Museum (A.N. 31) gives the information about the history of Qutb Shahi Deccan and the relations with Safavid Empire of Iran. The relations between Qutb Shahi, Mughals and Safavid Empires were very deep and historical. The Central Asia, Iran, Northern Hindustan and Deccan had a vast world of shared linguistic (Persian) and cultural practices. As Muzaffar Alam noted that, the Iranian could arrive in a strange, immediately find their bearings, and function with a great deal of ease; at Mughal or Qutb Shahi courts. Indians and Iranians had very relevant interconnections from Ancient to Medieval times in history. T. N. Devare, Muhiuddin Qadri Zore, H.K. Sherwani, Muzaffar Alam, Sanjay Subrahmanyam and Laura Weinstein focused on the history and personality of Mir Mohammad Momin Astarabadi in their works and research articles. The proposed research paper focuses on the contribution of Mir Mohammad Momin Astarabadi in the field of Deccan heritage and the history of Qutb Shahi Deccan. The paper is re-assessing the role of Persian scholar in Qutb Shahi Deccan and urbanization, architecture of the town Hyderabad. It is very significant issue for the history of Persian currents in medieval Central Asia to Punjab – North India to Deccan history and Indo- Persian cultural study. In the term of methodology, the paper has been made by the use of both primary sources, manuscripts, translations and the standard secondary data from Aurangabad, Hyderabad Libraries and archives etc. The paper tried to understand the Qutb Shahi Deccan heritage, in the reigns of Muhammad and Abdullah Qutb Shahs, a golden age of Qutb Shah Deccan dynasty, a harmonious combination of the Indo Persian Culture and the State in the personality and scholarship of the Peshwa Astarabadi.
