Ṣūr-i Isrāfīl, Nāmah-yi Azādī: Persian 1402

Sorasarafil, a research freedom letter from Dr. Sohrab Yazdani, a historian of the constitutional era in Iran. Among dozens of newspapers that were published after the establishment of constitutionalism in Iran, Sourasrafil gained a unique name and reputation and became a valuable relic of Iran's constitutionalism. The authors of this weekly criticized the social, political, economic, and cultural phenomena of their society. The goal of their criticism was to break the circle of backwardness and build an advanced society based on social justice. The main articles of Surasrafil had a specific intellectual background and the authors of the weekly wanted to understand the roots of social difficulties in addition to showing the effects of backwardness. This office examines some editorials and key articles of Surasrafil and the satirical column "Cherand Perand" and tries to answer a few points: How did the writers of Surasrafil see the country's political scene? What solution did they offer for the land issue? How did they talk about the sensitive categories of tradition and modernity? And which schools of thought and politics were their guides? It is hoped that the historical investigation of these cases can open a perspective on the common thoughts in the first revolution of the 20th century in Iran.
