Abstract
The beginning of the introduction of the Dari Persian language to India is during Sultan Mahmud's campaign to the Indian subcontinent. Since the Ghaznavid Turks were Persian-speaking and their counterparts in the Ghorian era, the Tajiks, were also Persian-speaking, the Persian language opened its way in India and in the depth of its culture, and became the only language of communication, language of understanding, language of education and university language of India.

This descriptive and analytical research sought to explain why the Dari Persian language spread in India and concluded that this language found a special place in the scope of Indian literature after the arrival of Mahmoud Ghaznavi to India and this land became a great center for the publication of Dari Persian language works. The study of Indian literature and philosophy attracted Abu Rihan Al-Biruni, who had entered India with Sultan Mahmud, and authored the research books of Mallahnd, Athar al-Baqiyyah and Al-Tafhim Lawael Sanaaat Tanjim. Sultan Mahmud from the year 416-392 AH. He traveled to India seventeen times, and every time many scientists, poets and writers such as Eleni Balkhi, Farrokhi Sistani, etc. were with him. Because the sultan liked the Dari Persian language, the poets and writers of this language in India gathered at his court. From that date onwards, the Dari Persian language spread in India and the literary and cultural centers were transferred from Khorasan to India.
