Abstract

Hormoz in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries AD (eighth and ninth AH) was considered as the center of maritime trade in Iran and one of the few maritime poles in the world. During these two centuries, Hormuz was under the rule of a dynasty of local kings known as the kings of Hormuz, and they succeeded in establishing their dominion over most of the northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf. Undoubtedly, one of the contexts as well as the consequences of the commercial prosperity of Hormuz should be sought in its economic relations with the south of the Indian subcontinent (Deccan). The subject of this research is the study of economic relations between Hormoz and Deccan in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries AD (eighth and ninth AH). The purpose of this article is to provide a clear answer to the question of what role did Hormoz and its rulers play in trade relations with Deccan in the Indian subcontinent, using a descriptive-analytical method and using library sources? The findings of this study show that Hormoz, due to the special regional conditions and the policy of its rulers and using the differences between the governments of the region, not only played a very effective role in trade with Deccan, but also could be the center of world trade for more than two centuries.
