1. I don't think hardly any Iranians have real negative views of India. Most probably don't know a lot. So I would say neutral to positive.

India-Pak conflict is not something that comes up a lot in Iran, so as a nation we have no views on it. Individuals may have their own preferences of course.

2. We already have many Hazara refugees in Iran. Over 2 million (maybe less now because of deportations). So unless they are all in critical danger (large scale genocide) then we won't take them in. However if they are under real threat then I believe we will offer them sanctuary.

@Surenas... why does every other fight here involve you? Good question I believe.

I have a question about Iran? No country can remain isolated:
1) What is being done about making some allies?
2) Do most Iranians agree with the foreign policy (particularly towards USA)
3) What about the current regime-in terms of human rights, mullah rule? How is it?

1. We already have some allies. Iraq, Syria, N. Korea, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Sudan, Belarus. Also China and Russia are fairly positive with Iran.
2. Hard to say. There is no census in Iran for these things. Regime supporters say yes, opposition supporters say no. Since there is no real census on opinions its hard to say.
3. Not great, but not as bad as western media tries to show.

Alright,I'll say sorry....but you have to admit that some of the more insecure Iranians can be annoying at times.

Assumptions is the mother of all... Iranians in the west are in no way insecure.

I guess some Iranians who move abroad may develop some inferiority complexes. But I think it is similar for most countries.

Would a Irani accept any Indian Northwest refugees migrating to Iran?
What about Indian Muslims?

Hahaha its a world-wide problem man. All countries who aren't white try to act more white. Exists everywhere. From east-Asia with eyelid surgery and Latin America where they use white actors disproportionately to other races etc..

There are a few Indians in Iran I believe. I have seen Sikh people with turbans from time to time.

About US, an Indian model said that, they like our skin because of the texture. She said the have to tan their body to get it dark. They lie on beaches like Seals.

Aryan doesn't necessary mean white, Einstein. When Dariush used that word, the Germans didn't even know the meaning of it. It was misused by the nazis. Besides that, during WW2, the nazis tried to prove Iranians of the relations between both people; not otherwise.

Have it your way, my personal experiences with Iranians in the west would say otherwise-but lets close that chapter and get back on topic.

So why do the grand majority of iranians see the fall of the sassanids and post-islam iran in such negative light? I see it as a new begining that had brought such great people (Omar Khayyam,Al-Biruni,Ibn Sina and Al-Khwarezmi to name a few) and wave of culture that influenced everyone around them.Not that im crediting Islam for bringing this,but why isn't any of this appreciated as much as it should.

I guess everybody wants to be the opposite of what they are. It's like the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side".

Well Iran never hit the same heights as it did post-Islam. So a lot of people correlate that failure with Islam.

Where as if you look with Arabs, Turks, or subcontinent Muslims, they had their best period of history under Islam.
