Summary

Customs of the people of Iranshahr

It is natural that every nation that has its own language has a special literature for its language. The materials collected in this thesis include language, customs and religious beliefs, collective beliefs, celebrations and holidays, marriage ceremonies, mourning, beliefs, proverbs, chistans, local games, arts and crafts, and traditional medicine and popular literature of the people of Iranshahr, which is a part of the general culture of the people of Balochistan. Since these works are not written down and surrounded by history, a large amount of them have remained hidden from the eyes, which may be discovered with the efforts of researchers. But still many aspects of life with the standards of folk culture are stable in this region, which is worth researching.

Popular culture has been passed down from one generation to another from ancient times to the present, but it seems that the social conditions of the world and the new civilization are seeking to completely forget what is related to the past and popular culture. For this reason, one should try as much as possible to record and preserve them, especially human and noble traditions and customs that are the pride of every nation. The folk literature of this land, which has come down to us from the past and will surely reach the future generations, is a non-written history that tells the joys and sorrows and wishes of our ancestors in this region of our beloved homeland. Get to know the positive and valuable points of this line. May it be like a bright light to guide the next generation.

1-1-Statement of the problem

Culture is a way of living that is formed over time and as a spiritual heritage of a people under the name of social etiquette. Beliefs, customs, etc. are considered. Culture is not formed simply, nor can it be confined to a limited place, but it is the result of the efforts of thousands of people over the centuries, which have been accepted and some of them have become religious traditions. Therefore, it includes all the material and spiritual values ??that are formed in the course of social action and are the product of collective efforts. In general terms, all the different manifestations of life, from customs, traditions, and collective behaviors to the minutes of art, historical moments, and religious social beliefs, are the feelings of a people in the culture of that people. Science, knowledge, wisdom, and politeness mean greatness and seriousness, which is derived from the prefix fur and hang from the Avesta root meaning to drag. People's culture has its roots in the distant past and is connected with tradition and human values, and its goodness and prominence have been proven. It harmonizes and synchronizes them with the new situations and situations and the needs and demands of the common people of the time.

The people of the ages, those who have a historical record, have more folk beliefs and superstitions than the young nations, especially those who have more friction with different races and as a result of mixing and contact, their habits of morality and religion have permeated into newer thoughts and superstitions that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Public culture is the collection of human experiences and thoughts over the centuries, and it is these experiences and customary customs and traditions of a society that give it personality and identity. The culture of each nation has characteristics that separate a society from other societies.At the same time, popular culture considers human solidarity because its foundation is based on the basic and real needs of human beings, and to a large extent they are naturally shared among other ethnic groups and tribes. Basically, culture flows in the context of life. We can enter the privacy of culture when we see it as a part of life. Culture is an expression of the mass of people, and it is considered necessary to study and understand it for the compilation of other sciences. Valuing culture is actually respecting people; Because people are not separated from their culture and it is their culture that makes them and gives them value. It is natural that every nation that has its own language has a special literature for the language. On the other hand, a nation that has gone through the events of millennia, with this historical background and linguistic support, must have a rich ethnic literature. In Balochi literature, since these works are not written down and history surrounds them, a large amount of them have remained hidden from the eyes, which may be found with the efforts of researchers. But the amount that has survived the events of the times and reached us in oral and written form, is now available to those interested in the form of incomplete collections, some of which tell the history of the culture of this people. The themes of some of the literary works of this people are universal. But here, that aspect of Balochi ethnic literature that is related to the cultural history of this people has been taken into consideration. I hope that the collected materials will be of interest to those interested.

Baluchistan has been the land of tyrannical rulers in the past due to the special fabric of tribalism. The rulers who have ruled this region since ancient times and it still continues among the ruling clans.
