Ext 243/47 'Lives and property of Persian nationals resident in Bombay; claims against Persian Government'

Content

This file contains documents that discuss various financial claims of the British Government of India and the Government of Iran against one another. Most of the claims were made between 1942 and 1948. The claims are the result of loss of either lives or property of Iranians living in India or British-Indian subjects living or working in Iran. However, the majority of the papers relate to a particular episode of violence against the Iranian community in Bombay during 1946, and include two letters from the Iranian Consul General in India and the Iranian Ambassador to the UK.
