Working Papers on Central Asia and Iran Prepared by Professor Iraj Bashiri e-mail: bashi001@umn.edu web: bashiris.com Central Asia Iran Tajikistan Update ... Tajikistan in the 20th Century Introductory Note: The cultures of Central Asia and Iran share a number of remarkable features. They are Islamic, albeit Sunnite and Shi'ite, and they enjoy a common cosmology and mythology. Additionally, they share the same early history. Indeed, until the rise of the Western Turks and the subsequent coming of the Turks and Mongols to Central Asia, the primary population of the region was Iranian. As descendants of the earlier Indo-European peoples, they followed the teachings of Zoroaster and worshiped his God, Ahura Mazda. From the foregoing, we can conclude that any social, political, or ideological study of the early history of this region must take this common heritage into consideration. To respect the shared values of the Iranian and the Central Asian peoples, therefore, the following arrangement is adhered to. The more recent events appear under "Central Asia" and "Iran" respectively. The ancient and medieval issues that cannot be logically divided appear under "Central Asia and Iran." This web page covers a vast area from Africa to India and from Kazakhstan to the Persian Gulf. It also

Country Info Iran Introduction Iran General Data Iran Maps Iran Culture ... Iran Time and Date Iran Culture Back to Top members of a minority religion and a protest movement in the early years of Islam, the Shi'ites were persecuted by the Sunnite majority. The martyrdom of al-Husayn ibn 'Ali in AD 680 at Karbala', Iraq, at the hands of the Umayyads, the sufferings of al-Husayn's household, and the massacre of his followers became the rallying point for a national revival after the establishment of the Safavid Empire in 1501. The Shi'ite Persians were then pitted against the Sunnite Ottomans. At the beginning of each lunar Islamic year the Karbala' tragedy is commemorated by ta'ziya (passion plays) and self-flagellation with chains, scimitars, and bare hands. The participants are often clothed in bloody shrouds signifying the blood-stained soil of Karbala' and their willingness to join the ranks of the martyrs. Persian art and architecture first developed in the time of Persian king Cyrus the Great (6th century bc) and experienced a renaissance during the Sassanid dynasty (224-651 ad). After the Islamic conquest, the mosque became the major building type, and several new styles of painting developed and thrived during the Safavid era (1501-1722). The 1979 revolution ushered in a period of renewed creativity in fine and applied arts. The proliferation of exhibits sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, by various museums, and by private galleries inspired artistic creativity in mediums as diverse as calligraphy, graphic art, painting, photography, pottery, and sculpture. The boom in public and private construction following the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) provided new opportunities for architects.

HASAN SARBAKHSHIAN/AP Iran's culture war intensifies On Sunday, police launched a nationwide crackdown on symbols of 'decadent' Western culture. By Michael Theodoulou The busy Tehran square was packed with hundreds of dismayed onlookers, many of them women sobbing at the spectacle, according to recent press reports. 13 young men, stripped to the waist, were being flogged for offenses against the public order - mostly for drinking alcohol, which is forbidden in Iran, and for being seen with women to whom they were not related. Since Mohamad Khatami, the reformist Iranian president, was re-elected by a landslide in June, there has been a spate of public floggings ordered by his hard-line opponents who control the judiciary. Hard-liners, it seems, are in a combative mood as they try to jerk back the hands of Iran's social clock - a task many believe to be impossible.

Iranian ws Art Links To Everything You Need From Chicken Milk To Human Life :: Home :: News :: Sports :: Directory ... Click Here Throughout its development, Persian artistic achievement has normally been imperial in nature, with impressive majestic monuments or associated with royal patronage in book illustration. Countless painters, weavers, potters, calligraphers, metalworkers, stone masons etc. have produced some of the most beautiful works ever created, and contributed to the Persian artistic heritage that is known throughout the world. The country has always been known to its own people as Iran (land of the Aryans), although for centuries it was referred to as Persia (Pars or Fars, a province in southern Iran) by the Europeans, mainly due to the writings of Greek historians. In 1935 the Government specified that it should be called Iran; however, in 1949 they allowed both names to be used. Most people today, know Persia or Iran through its carpets, its caviar, its costly war with its neighbor Iraq, or through its importance as one of the world's major oil-producing nations. Yet, Persia has one of the richest and oldest cultures in the world. For more than three thousand years Persia was a melting pot of civilizations and demographic movements between Asia and Europe. Under Cyrus the Great, it became the center of the world's first empire. Successive invasions by the Greeks, Arabs, Mongols and Turks developed the nation's culture through rich and diverse philosophical, artistic, scientific and religious influences.
