Equation and the condition of Reductio ad absurdum (reduction to absurdity) are among the most important and most frequent types of allegory in Hindi style. In Hindi style the poets have used these literary devices to make general and abstract concepts tangible and to induce their subjects to their audiences. In order to do so, the use of different forms of these literary devices has satisfied their linguistic needs in expressing the meaning intended. Using equation and the condition of Reductio ad absurdum reinforces the content of the discourse, and confirms a collective thought, and it contributes to the readers' understanding. In this research, various types of equation and the condition of Reductio ad absurdum have been studied, and their functions, content, and forms have been investigated. The research is based on the use of these literary devices in the prominent works in Hindi style through considering the views of the scholars and the author's personal perception of these literary devices. The results show that the equation and the condition of Reductio ad absurdum have been used in Hindi style to meet the need for uttering the experiences, thoughts, and mystical concepts in a meaningful way. Therefore, they can be regarded as prominent rhetorical features of the literary works in the Hindi era in Persian poetry.
