About this person
Hekmat was an Iranian ambassador to India and wrote multiple books about Indian history and culture. Following the 1979 Iranian revolution, his books and works were ignored and he was labelled as a Freemason, but one of his books, Persian Inscriptions on Indian Monuments, was reprinted and introduced to Iranians.
