Abstract: 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.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 70; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
