In the name of Iran,
By
This review is from: Karim Khan Zand (Makers Of The Muslim World) (Hardcover)
This book is not biography of Karmi Khan Zand, this book is established on framework of power struggle theory.This book illustrated that how after assassination of King Nader, there was a power vaccume in Iran. Thus, Feudal lords wage war against each other for top job which was Kingship. In this situtation, Karim Khan Zand became King. Interestingly, Karmi Khan Zand did not call himself King, he called himself as author mentioned Deputy of People or Parsi word is Vakil. Karim Khan Zand was following Iran's political culture which was a king to be just and kind to his citizens, as a result, Karim Khan Zand saw himself as a Deputy of People, he was close to his citizens, and when occasion raised, he was just. Author mentioned that Iran was a confedration, Iran's regional political system was always provincial system. Author translated word "kalantor" as mayor. Whereas, word "Kalantor" means a constable, and mayor word is "shahrdar". Over all, the book is fun to read and educational. |
