First I want to thank Mr. Arash Sinai for his interesting footage of his recent visit to the old Royal Compound of Sa'adabad turned into a Museum Here 

My observation below is not intended towards you or your commendable efforts per se nor the people featured in the footage per se. But in order not to overload the page I decided to blog on it instead.

So below I would like to share my response to what I deem is Anglophile’s fair observation in the following feature on Sa ‘ad Abad posted on IC's Front page : Pitiful!

Note : You Can either ignore or Watch separately and independantly from the Text the Video's displayed here merely as illustrations to the arguments presented below.

Best,

DK

At least now they know that contrary to Popular imagination and distortions the Shah fed foreign diplomats with Iranian Food.

To think We did a silly and clumsy revolution based on clichés and empty slogans we barely understood the significance aimed at drawing distorted parrallels with the French Revolution in a pitiful but alas successful attempt to depict the Shah and Shahbanou's lifestyle with that of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette ( See my note at end of my comment on Bahmand Nurumand's behind Ulrike Meinhof the future German terrorist of the infamous Baader Meinhoff group) :

About Bahman Nirumand and Ulrike Meinhof's letter to Farah Diba:


Iranian communist Bahman Nirumand behind Ulrike Meinhof letter to Shahbanou :


Ulrike Marie Meinhof Offner Brief an Farah Dibah



Description :

German transcript of the diatribe written by Ulrike Meinhoff  aimed at depicting the Shahbanou as a kind of frivolous "Marie Antoinette" and falsly claiming that people were dying from hunger in the villiages of Iran.

See Related Blog on German Movie The Baader Meinhoff Complex :

The Baader Meinhof Complex (TRAILER)

For the Anecdote :

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahman_Nirumand

His book “Persia, a model of a developing nation or the dictatorship of the Free World” (“Persien, Modell eines Entwicklungslandes oder Die Diktatur der Freien Welt”) published in January 1967 had a big influence upon the internationalism of the student uprising. Nirumand became a member of the Confederation of Iranian students. On a lecture tour for his book in Hamburg, he was invited byFreimut Duve and became acquainted with Ulrike Meinhof. They talked about the circumstances in Iran. Upon this, Ulrike Meinhof wrote ın Juni 1967 for the official visit of shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in the Federal Republik of Germany an open letter to his wife Farah Diba.[2] In this letter, Meinhof alleged among others that for the peasants of Mehdiabad, a »Persian meal« consists of straw put ın water.[3] In October 1967, a critic was published ın the Spiegel, where several informations about Iran that had been published in the book of Nirumand were rated as dubiose or wrong.[4]In 1979, he returned to Iran before the Islamic Republic of Iran was founded. After staying there for three years, Nirumand went to exile to Paris, as he got no permission to enter Germany. Later, he went to Berlin.

Darius jaan as always you are the Perfectionist

by anglophile on

Thank you for perfecting the point I made so beautifully dear Darius. I had forgotten about the glory of the French palaces. Elysee and of course Versailles The amount of opulance one can see in one of these palaces make a mockery of all Mohammmad Reza Shahs palaces put together. I am really shocked at the fuss our "nazar tang" people make about the poor Shah's palaces an try to portray him as a super spender or flithy rich monarch. For heaven's sake he was a King! Where did you expect him to live you morbidly jealous and mean people. Even  bloody Saddam and all the tin pot sultans and sheikhs of the neighbouring Arab states had and have amassed more wealth in their palaces than the poor Mohammad Reza Shah. Thanks for honouring me with a blog Darius jaan.
