Empathy, Solidarity: Needs of Sacred Defense Literature
24 October 2011
By Mohammad Ghasem Foroughi Jahromi; writer, researcher
Today, the practical context for Sacred Defense researchers and writers is far from solid and coherent. As well, the Sacred Defense-related literary, cultural and arts programs are devoid of any strategic planning [in the country].
IBNA: Personal preferences are still the number one lever for choices and appointments, and the policies made in relevant organizations and foundations do not hint of any bright future, and pitifully, things are getting worse day by day.
Facilities are diminishing and conditions are deteriorating. All the concerning organizations and centers appear to endorse Sacred Defense affairs, while, in deed, they display not so much interest in such matters.
As could be seen at the most cursory glance towards the actions' report of these organizations in the past few years, monotony and repetition seem to overshadow everything and officials are remiss in their duties to refresh and renovate [Sacred Defense] things. Are the capacities we boast we enjoy in our country set in action properly? Discipline is lax, and bad practices are widely in evidence in the circulation of books, programs, performances and their quality level provided by the organizations.
Dear officials are hoped to think up an association for considering these programs and policies in a permanent and efficacious manner. Little by little, experts become veterans, life passes by and hairs turn gray; maybe a body of Sacred Defense literature and arts veterans should be formed to work out integrated schemes in 5 or even 10 year-long time spans.
The once-boisterous men can still exert their will to produce novel, effective outcome. Therefore, why not holding on to them in the association; they are both experienced and ready for such tasks and can be advantageous in dealing with matters. However, new fields are still to be delved into.

Comparing the Narratives of Commanders and Ordinary Combatants in the Sacred Defense
An Analysis of Functions and ConsequencesThe experience of the Sacred Defense cannot be comprehended merely through statistics or official reports; what truly endures from war are the narratives of those who stood upon its frontlines. These narratives, however, vary significantly depending on one’s position, responsibilities, and lived experience.

Mohammad — The Messiah of Kurdistan
Boroujerdi immediately said to Darvish, “Ready a few men; we’re going.” Then he moved toward Mostafa, who was studying the Kurdistan map. Mostafa straightened his back and said, “During my service in the army I experienced a full-scale war in Kurdistan. Guerrilla warfare in Kurdistan follows its own rules. The anti-revolutionary commanders want to draw us into a battle chosen on their terms.”
