  1. Iran reverting to Zoroastrianism

    Some very interesting points. Yes Abbasids were primarily Persian backed, with the bureaucratic elements of the nascent Caliphate, mostly Zoroastrian converts grasping at power. But would they even abandon a prospective chance of greater power to back their closet co-religionists, just for a...

  2. Iran reverting to Zoroastrianism

    But the basis of claiming legitimacy can always change.

  3. Iran reverting to Zoroastrianism

    Okay. But the Mongols were fairly tolerant of other religions as well, I find it unlikely that they would become so zealous as to alter the religious fabric of the areas they rule. Even if the Abbasids collapse earlier (what year would you suggest?), it wouldn't necessarily cause the people to...

  4. Iran reverting to Zoroastrianism

    So do you think as @Analytical Engine pointed out, a prospective ruler embracing the faith would lead to its rejuvenation? But why would the people at large would revert to Zoroastrianism? However, what you said if entirely true, then why would the Parsis flourish in India, as they did?

  5. Iran reverting to Zoroastrianism

    Wouldn't the burning just radicalize Islamic adherents? How would that even lead to people abandoning that religion? If we suppose they do that, wouldn't the people be attracted towards Christianity if anything? And even that would be a Levantine phenomenon more like.

  6. Iran reverting to Zoroastrianism

    Would by any chance, after the 11th century, the people at large become disillusioned with Islam and seek alternatives? What can be such a trigger, if possible? Also by the 11th century, Zoroastrian proportion had become precipitously low. How can there be a turns around in such a case?

  7. Iran reverting to Zoroastrianism

    With the Islamic conquests of crumbling Sassanid Iran in the mid 7th century, every other religion present in Iran, including the erstwhile state and most widespread religion of Zoroastrianism, all entered a terminal decline, more or less (Nestorianism made gains for a short while, but...

  8. Tony Stark of India- A timeline.

    Are you sure about that?

  9. Rome conquers Seleucid Mesopotamia after Magnesia

    East of the Zagros?! What are you even saying?! Why the hell would Rome want to conquer Iran for? At least the person you replied to made the logical correction in your statement for their opinion framing.

  10. A Miss of Grapeshot: Suffren and the Tiger of Mysore

    You mean Tipu's position. I wouldn't equate him with Mysore as a whole, illegitimate usurper that he was. Dastardly person and a religious bigot at par with Aurangzeb on top of that.

  11. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    Is the Belgian king being absolutely dumb, or is he a German sympathiser? Am I alone in wondering that?

  12. A Miss of Grapeshot: Suffren and the Tiger of Mysore

    Well well well. Glad to have found this story when I did. Quite an entertaining read so far; you have managed a pretty good encapsulation of the Indian political scene of the time, and the changes it undergoes with a wider British defeat in the American Revolutionary War.

  13. Bisringkhal-An Assam Timeline

    That was too easy. Trap?

  14. Bisringkhal-An Assam Timeline

    MWAHAHAHA!! Delhi tremble! Your end is nigh! Actually pity the poor guy who Debera has trapped in his clutches, never trained for this responsibility and has been thrust into it to act as a mere sock puppet for someone else. While his enemies are actually righteous in their anger against him...

  15. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

  17. Bisringkhal-An Assam Timeline

    Conspiracy within a conspiracy. What has the world come to. Yet, fascinating. 😈😈

  18. Bisringkhal-An Assam Timeline

    Hey, I even posted this story's link on my profile. Might help a bit. You are going good.

  19. Bisringkhal-An Assam Timeline

    I am having the Assam experience in EU4 currently, this TL inspired me to do it for the first time. Damn hard to break Bengal unless you have big allies like Gajapati Orissa helping you out, which I had fortunately.

  20. The Spanish Heir (What if Carlos II had a son?)

    Indeed, enslavers of the most terrible type more like. The archetype of exploitation as well.
