The Subcontinent, which constitutes a major part of South Asia,
has grown up seeds of a few foreign languages in its soil. Among these
languages Persian is very important. The presence of thousands of
Persian manuscripts in the libraries of the Subcontinent and countless
Persian books composed and compiled by the natives of this land,
indicate that Persian language has played a pertinent role on the
development of civilization and culture of this region.
Persian language entered in the Punjab with external invaders and
traders in the first century hijri and soon introduced as court language by
the rulers of this territory. Due to extraordinary interest of the kings of
the different eras, a number of important centers of the Persian language
came into existence and this language progressed and was recognized as
the language of knowledge and literature.
Later on, the inhabitants of the Subcontinent, without any
discrimination of caste, creed and religion, have recorded the history and
culture of this land into their Persian compilations. Moreover, in this part
of South Asia such masterpieces of prose and poetry have been created,
for which Persian language can be denoted as a language of heart and
soul. Without any doubt, in the Subcontinent no other foreign language
can claim such honour.
