July-Sept 2015 Pdf.Cdr APPENDIX NO. 1 BOYCOTTING THE JANUARY 26, I963 REFERENDUM For example, the National Front urged people of Iran to boycott the January 26 referendum called to ratify the Shah's six-point reform programme. "Then in January 1963, in the face of the rural co­ operatives conference and growing publicity for the referendum, the Front held another National Congress. After electing a new central committee, the Front urged people of Iran to boycott the January 26 referendum called to ratify the Shah's six point reform programme. ... Front announced a mass meeting and demonstration on January 25 to protest the ballotting and issed a manifesto that ended: We warn the people of Iran that our country is now on the verge of being officially changed from a democratic parliamentary regime to that of reaction and despotism. We must, therefore, say yes to abolition of the feudal system. Land and water for the farmers and better rewards for the workers: sovereignty for the nation and freedom for all; and destruction of colonialism and exploitation. But we must say NO to the ARBITRARY RULE OF THE SHAH, His interference in the affairs of the state, The rule of Terror and SAVAK Atrocities, colonial domination of the country, police violations and gendarmerie oppression and the overlordship of government officials in towns and villages."

  • Cultural Consulate of Embassy of I.R. Iran – Pretoria
    IRAN October 2016 Issue No.2 FOCUS A LOOK AT REAL IRAN IN WEEKLY NEWS CULTURAL CONSULATE OF EMBASSY OF I.R. IRAN – PRETORIA 2 Introduction: Iran: A concise History “Certain regions of the world are distinguishable as being associated with a particular human culture pattern, which is at once distinctive in character and also sufficiently strong to have survived as a readily identifiable entity over many centuries… Of these regions, Iran is certainly one”. Cambridge History of Iran Known as Persia until 1935, Iran is a country with a history of over 10000 years and home to one of the oldest known civilizations. Persia, or Iran, as the country is more appropriately called, presents a lexicon of human history matched only by a handful of other countries in the world. The name Persia is derived from the Persis, a province in southern Iran from which a southern Iranian tribe, known as the “Persians” created a world empire in the sixth century B.C. The name Iran, pronounced “Eran”, however, comes from the term “Aryan” meaning “the land of nobles”, a name first used about the first millennium B.C. ‘Iran’ as a territory has multiple meanings. Broadly and devoid of any sort of political or territorial claims, one can see it as three regions. First, there is modern Iran, within its international borders. Then there is ‘Greater Iran or / ‘Iran exterieur comprising the additional areas that once formed part of the Iranian world at various times in history. Lastly, there are the areas, sometimes very remote from the center, including parts of Europe and India that exhibit Iranian influence.

    1 OIL DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN IRAN SINCE 1953 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By Hossein Haghshenas, B.S. Denton, Texas August, 1982 Haghshenas, Hossein, Oil Development and Social Change in Iran Since 1953. Master of Sociology, August, 1982, 263 pp., 45 tables, bibliography, 109 titles. This study examines the relationship between oil develop- ment and social change in Iran. The research focused on the years since 1953 examining the economic structure through the five development plans which were the major vehicles of social transformation. Within this framework the importance of oil, industriali- zation, land reform,, the labor force, education and health are discussed. Demographic and stratification changes are covered such as changingpopulation patterns, migration, minorities, social classes, and the distribution of wealth. Cultural and social values are then treated with emphasis on the Shah and arms, social control and social behavior. The paper concludes: oil revenues were frequently squandered without real socio-economic benefit to the masses. Economic's mismanagement and rigid social control increases pressures in society causing the 1978 revolution.
