This photo slide show is about Bakhtiari tribe who they live in middle of Iran and they are one of the purest Persian races.Bakhtiaris speak Luri, they are closely related to the Luri people and also related to Persian people.Numerical estimates of their total population widely vary. In Khuzestan, Bakhtiari tribes are primarily concentrated in the eastern part of the province. Bakhtiaris trace a common lineage, being divided into Chahar Lang (Four "limbs") and Haft Lang (Seven "Limbs") groups.
There are two main tribal groups, the Chahar Lang ("Four Legs") and the Haft Lang ("Seven Legs"), each controlled by a single powerful family. The overall Khan alternates every two years between the chiefs of the Chahar Lang and the Haft Lang.

Bakhtiaris primarily inhabit the provinces of Lorestan, Khuzestan, Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari, and Isfahan. In Iranian mythology, the Bakhtiari consider themselves to be descendants of Fereydun, a legendary hero from the Persian national epic, Shahnameh.

The Bakhtiari captured Teheran under the Haft Lang Shah Sardar Assad and played a significant role in constitutional reform and the abdication of Shah Mohammed Ali (r. 1907-1909) in 1909, after which he was exiled to Russia. Riza Shah Pahlevi (r. 1925-1941) attempted to destroy the Bakhtiari and they have never fully recovered since that time. They are noted in Iran for their remarkable music which inspired Borodin.[1]

Bakhtiari women have more status and freedom than most Iranian women and many of the daughters of the wealthier families are encouraged to receive at least basic education. Many significant Iranian politicians, governors of provinces and other dignitaries are of Bakhtiari origin.(from wikipedia)

  • @IranianBeauty1 And that's how Iranian people appreciated, with poverty, devastation and discrimination towards the true people of Khuzestan. I hope they get what they deserve. They made us wander the world alone. Long live Khuzestan.

  • @SardarAsadeEngelisi Bakhtiari means Bakht= chance or luck and iari= companion or friend : companion whom brings good fortune.. as attested by many scolars this is the name given to Cyrus the Great King of the four cornerstones by those close to him..
