You were Kangz when you were a part of Iran despite always being a small nation with a very low population. Iran had no reason to give you such preferential treatment but they did it anyways. People had to learn Georgian wherever the Georgian army went and many governors in Fars and Khorasan were Georgian. You expand your nation with a high birth rate and an army, you had all of this while being a part of Iran. Didn't Georgians also make a Georgian version of the Shahnameh to help preserve Georgia?
Let's face the truth, Georgian culture would've continued into the 21th century and there would've been at least 20-30 million Georgians today in Caucasia and Iran if Russia never won the war.
