Bahmani rule provided a new dimension to the social and cultural institutions and activities of Deccan. The Bahmani rulers accorded a place of prominence to the Sufis both at Gulbarga and Bidar. The political and economic institutions of Bahmani Kingdom were largely based on the pattern of its north Indian predecessors but the social and cultural affairs revolved round the Sufis who enabled the mystics to gain an upper hand. The Bahmani rulers invited scholars, saints, architects and other eminent statesmen in order enrich the social, educational, cultural and economic foundations of Deccan. The Persian literature, art, architecture and culture had definite bearing on the Deccan. The architectural and artistic evidence suggests that both religious bonds and the long-standing commercial links between Persia and the Deccan provided important conduits for cultural traditions.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the mediating role of self‐compassion and self‐forgiveness among college students who initiated a romantic breakup.BackgroundsThe focus of research on romantic relationship breakups is typically on the rejected partner, while the initiator (responsible or rejector) of the breakup is neglected. To fully understand the romantic relationship breakup, we must look at this event as a whole.MethodCollege students across eight universities (N = 464) who sought treatment for depression at university psychological service centers after initiation of a romantic breakup were referred for possible inclusion in the research. Of these referred students, 347 (women = 68%, mean age = 22.62 ± 3.69 years, range: 18–35) fulfilled the inclusion criteria and completed a battery of questionnaires (Enright Self‐Forgiveness Inventory, Self‐Compassion Scale‐Short Form, Breakup Distress Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory—II). Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the hypothesized mediation model.ResultsWe found a strong association between breakup distress and depressive symptoms among romantic breakup initiators mediated by self‐compassion and self‐forgiveness. Self‐compassion influenced the mediating role of self‐forgiveness between breakup distress and depressive symptoms (R2 = 58%).Conclusion and implicationsThe findings suggest that college students who initiate a romantic breakup are at risk for depression despite the reason for or time since the breakup. Thus, their suffering and pain need to be acknowledged. When initiators choose to be self‐compassionate after a breakup, it may promote self‐forgiveness as a path toward emotional healing.
