Abstract

Comparative studies is one of the modern and influential sciences that has different approaches; One of these approaches is iconology, which examines the face of oneself or others in literature. Taleb Imran is one of the Syrian writers who studied in India. The result of his studies in this country is Ahzan Al-Sandbad's novel, which describes various aspects of Indian people's life with a deep and detailed view. The present research has tried to deal with the iconography of Hindus in this novel by using the descriptive-analytical method. The preliminary results of this research indicate that various aspects of religion, culture and belief, politics and economy, along with the social aspect and the description of the food of the people of India, are among the most important topics raised in the novel. Also, the social aspect is the most obvious aspect mentioned in the novel, which mostly revolves around the issue of poverty and the status of women. The detailed description of the foods of the Indian people is another thing that has been done with special care. Studies show that the author had a neutral and in some cases positive view of the Indian people and overall, he described their image well.
