Inqilaab Safaid
The book "Inqilab Safaid" (The White Revolution), originally written in Persian, examines the series of reforms introduced by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran in the early 1960s. It analyzes the twelve-point program that included land reform, women’s enfranchisement, literacy campaigns, and industrial modernization, presented as efforts to modernize Iran. However, the book critically evaluates the revolution’s hidden motives—strengthening monarchical control and Western influence while neglecting Islamic and social values. It highlights the resulting social unrest, widening class gaps, and growing opposition from religious scholars, especially Imam Khomeini, who viewed it as a deceptive, Western-imposed transformation.
