Add article description

Indian style, also known as Sabk-i Hindi (Persian: سبک هندی) was a literary style in Persian poetry. The term was coined because poets and writers who were affiliated with Indian courts during the Mughal era were particularly notable for incorporating the characteristics typically associated with this style into their works. Some modern Iranian scholars have recommended using the names "sabk-i Isfahani" or "sabk-i Safavi" instead of sabk-i Hindi (Indian style) because the poets of the Safavid court in Isfahan during the 17th and early 18th century wrote in a similar manner.[1]
