Extremely pained to hear the tragic death of Prof. Ahmadjon Quronbekov (1943-2021), eminent scholar of Persian Studies in Uzbekistan. (انا للّٰہ وانا الیہ راجعون). He was distinguished Professor at the Centre of Persian and Iranian Studies in the Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He immensely contributed to the Persian Studies not only in the university but in the country. He was teaching there for over half a century, and guided many generations of Persian scholars. He visited Indian several times. Recently, he participated in the Centenary Webinar on Prof. S.A.H. Abidi (Feb. 2021), and remembered him fondly. He had written over 20 books, and around 300 papers, and supervised many students.
Professor Abidi Memorial Society offers its sincere condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, students and entire fraternity of Persian Studies. May his legacy lives long and may he be blessed in Jannat. Ameen Akhlaq Ahan
