    This research intends to examine and analyze the social stratification structure of Baluchistan, Iran and the social contexts affecting it during the first Pahlavi period. For this purpose, first of all, the research aims to refer to the social contexts involved in the structure of stratification, such as social traditions, religion and politics, and then by stating the socio-political situation of Iran during the first Pahlavi period and examining the situation in Balochistan in the same period, to

    Study History [1]

    Investigation of the structure of social stratification in the Qajar period from the beginning of the reign of Agha Muhammad Khan to Ahmad Shah is the subject of research that Nasrin Safavizadeh has conducted with the guidance of Dr. Tanhi and the advice of Dr. Tousli during her master's course at the graduate school of Islamic Azad University, Arak branch. In a part of her research, she writes:

    Iranian society since ancient times Until now, it has continued its life based on the three institutions of government, religion and economy, and the socio-economic foundation of social stratification in the Qajar period was also based on a combination of political authority, religious authority and economic authority. So that the inseparable connection of these three axes of power had a tremendous impact on the social stratification structure of this era (Safavizadeh, 1374:154).

    The origin and class relations of women in the main stratum (upper class) in the social stratification system of Iran during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah until the end of the reign of Ahmad Shah is the subject of Ms. Zahra Naderi's master's thesis in sociology, which she did in the second semester of 1983-1982 at the Islamic Azad University of Tehran Center. In a part of the conclusion chapter of this research, it is stated as follows:

    The autocratic structure of the government and traditional culture created restrictions for women and confined them in fences, but these restrictions did not prevent the influence of Iranian women in political and social events. In the Qajar era, especially from the reign of Naser al-Din Shah and after the defeat of Iran from Russia and the reforms and actions of people such as Amir Kabir and Abbas Mirza, the governor and the movement of foreigners, etc. He made women aware of their rights (Naderi, 2013: 245).

    Investigation of the class structure of the marginal stratum in the upper class and its effects on social and political currents with regard to the stratification structure of Iranian society in the second Pahlavi period is the subject of Mahdi Farati's thesis in the master's degree in sociology of the Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch. In this research, he examined the strata of military men, big owners, clergymen and so on. has described and described their role:

    In the study of the class structure according to the criteria of how to possess means and means of production and distribution of natural and human resources and power and wealth and participation in the system of division of labor by studying the upper and lower classes, it was determined that the upper class which included the monarchy, princes, big owners, merchants and related clergy, priests and military leaders was due to their direct participation in the system of social division of labor and in owning the means of production and the concentration of wealth and power and they have achieved dignity (Farati, 1383: 151).

    Another study titled the study of the class structure of the Qashqai tribe in the first Pahlavi period was conducted by Shahram Rashidi as a master's thesis in sociology at the Islamic Azad University of Arak branch. The marginalized group in the city of West Islamabad in the neighborhood of Shahristan in 1379 is the subject of research conducted by Reza Sayedmohammadi at the Islamic Azad University of Arak branch. He states in a part of the research that: most of the marginalized are immigrants who sought refuge in the city following their dreams and hopes and they expected that they would get a better position in the city. But unfortunately, due to the specialization in the city, they did not achieve such positions.

    All the above researches have used the social stratification theory of Abul Hasan Tanhi in their analysis.

    Qasim Siyasar in a research titled "Relationships of Baloch generals, scholars and educated people with the modern government" has described how Reza Khan's forces entered Baluchistan and investigated its internal situation.With a political view of how the Pahlavi forces infiltrated Balochistan, he investigated their relations with the future class of society (scholars, educated people and generals). Among these, the Alam family, which had more influence in Balochistan, has been investigated and analyzed the most. The book in question can provide the reader with good information about the political and social situation of Balochistan. However, this book does not deal with the detailed analysis of stratification in that period and it is necessary to understand these structures from its contents.

    Abdolghani Damani in a research entitled "Historical Image of Balochistan" in a discussion entitled Social Context of Balochistan, quoting Nasser Asgari, writes: They don't have any relationship with each other, they pass by the viewer indifferently and don't greet each other, and there is no sign that shows their relationship. If you ask any of them about the other, you will undoubtedly hear a pessimistic comment. They don't like each other (Damani, 1380: 81).

    In the continuation of this topic, he explained the reasons for this gap as factors such as historical causes, socio-cultural causes, economic causes, religious causes and so on. expresses For example, he writes in the description of social and cultural causes:

    The officers and employees who came to Balochistan after 1307 were all those who had found special thoughts in special social conditions that were completely different from the thoughts, beliefs and traditions of Balochistan. The culture of newly arrived employees was not similar to the culture of the people of Balochistan. They were different in every way. The school employees had left. This cultural difference caused the difference between the indigenous and non-indigenous groups to remain and the government did not take any steps to get to know and reconcile them (same source: 84). From his point of view, the government's attention to Balochistan during the Qajar era was accompanied by the British attention to Balochistan. The Qajars came to Balochistan to expand their border and the British came to Baluchistan to create a defensive shield next to India. In this research, the contents have been elaborated in detail.

    Epic in Baluchistan is the name of the research that Dr. Abdul Ghafoor Jahandehe has chosen for his book. And he also understood the stratification structure of that period.

    The cases of Sadr al-Zakr were examples of research that can give us useful information about Baloch and Balochistan and its social structure. But now we are going to express those researches that have been formed in the field of social stratification:

    Structural contexts of aggression in the marginal stratum (research sample report: Bijeh in the Pakdasht incident) by Dr. Hossein Abolhasan Tanhi, who has explained and expressed the issue. In this research, the researcher tries to integrate the theoretical perspective method of Herbert Bloomer and Eric Form and change its national application to class use, multi-style dialectical model and dialectical-interpretive stratification model to create and expand a theoretical and interpretive theoretical foundations in the field of social stratification. In this research, he has examined the role of poverty, the type of social actions and other things on aggression.

    Dr. Mahmoud Ruhol Amini has examined the stratification system in a research called the reflection of social stratification in Hafez Court. He believes that Hafez was a poet and a mystic, and most of his poems were written in the form of sonnets, and sonnets are not a suitable form to express social situations, and he does not have much faith in earthly systems and accepts most of the mystical thoughts, it is not possible to find much information about the stratification system in the thoughts and poems of such a person, but carefully the strata that can be inferred from his poems are as follows: kings, ministers, court owners, auditors, judges and Muftis, Sufis, farmers and artisans and marketers, rich and poor, Turks and Mongols.

    The transformation of Iran's stratification system from the fall of the Sassanids to the end of the Umayyads is the name of Shahrazad Sasanpour and Hossein Muftakhri's research. In this research, more efforts have been made to determine the role of Islam in changing this structure.
