he was the last great conqueror of Asia, his borders extended from Caucasus mountains to heart of India in Delhi
he had a vision for uniting with Ottoman empire, returning to Sunni faith and restoring the greatness to the Mughal empire
he wanted to create a powerful navy that can rival that of Europeans and not only prevent colonization of asia by Europeans, but also take over colonial lands in east asia
his reforms and wishes had Opposers inside of his state, after dealing with them many times Nader came up with his own mindset, which is clearly state in book of his quotes and his history by Henry Mortimer Durand:
1- Wild Kurds from the Western border, who were said to worship the devil. (Page 24)
2- By the favour of God I have taught these Persian dogs what a King of Iran should be. (Page 52)
3- Nothing, but they were heretics—Shias—like all these dogs of Persians, and when I told them to compose their differences with the Sunnis and make one religion, they drew their heads from the collar of obedience. (Page 61)
4- All will go well again. What are the Kurds? Cowardly thieves who ran away at the very thought of the Shah. The Kurds are nothing. (Page 346)
5- It is possible, but I fear there was some treachery. These Persian dogs have been playing me false as usual. Nothing goes right now. (Page 346)
he was never defeated in a war, for understanding the scale of his prestige and glory: when russians invaded his territory, russian army fled after russian ambassador warned of how powerful the Nader’s army is and how enraged the nader is, this is the same russia that defeated napoleon 70 days later
nowadays iranian nationalist propaganda system tries to fake him as an ethnic kurdish ruler, meanwhile his entire empire and he himself was called „Afshar“, one of the largest tribes of the Oghuz turks, spanning all the way from western Turkey to Modern Afghanistan
**he was assassinated when he was 58, Persians played a great role in his assassination**

Meaningless national pride. Nader Shah said a lot of bad words in his life. If you only pick out the bad words he said about Persians and Kurds, you can certainly conclude that he despised Persians and Kurds. This will not help the reality in any way.

funny that to this day Iran hates your people to the point they supported Armenia in the 2021 war.
a Persian is still buthurted that an A*ab guy fucked their 1000 year old empire in a matter of weeks.
even if you were same sect as them they would still see themselves as better than you.

he was litteraly from khorestan and proven to have south chinese dna, if he wanted a powerful azerbajian he wouldnt even make mashhad the capital. In response to the Ottoman Shah’s poem, Nader Shah said to him in his poem, „I want the flag of Iran to be re-established in Alexandria, and two men from Khorasan (two Iranians) are equal to two hundred Roman men (the Roman Seljuks, or Ottoman Turks).“ and after he went to india he said „Conquering India was not for honor, for me it is honor to enslave European kings, but this behavior is far from my Iranian culture and blood“
