Amir Kabir

Amir Kabir امیرکبیر , whose complete name is Mirza Taghi Khan Amir-Nezam میرزاتقیخانامیرنظام , (approx. 1807 - January 9th 1852) was the chancellor of the empire of Iran under the reign of Nasseredin Shah. He was born with Hazaveh, near Arak.

His/her father, Karbalaee Ghorban کربلائیقربان , was cook for Gha' EM-Magham Farahani, a large chancellor, which made it possible Mirza Taghi Khan to learn operation from the court.

Amir Kabir was sent to the Ottoman Empire in order to represent the Perse at the time them negotiations aiming at putting an end to the hundreds of years of war between the two empires. It also helped Nasseredin Shah to go up on the throne, it for what the Shah did it chancellor and gave him his/her own sister in marriage.

The expenditure of the government was strongly reduced during its government, and a distinction was made between the public and deprived possessions. The instruments of the central administration were revised, and Amir Kabir assumed the responsibility in all the fields for the administration. Moreover, Amir Kabir decreased the interferences of the foreign powers in the domestic affairs of the Iran.

Amir Kabir set up many reforms in Persia. It is him which founded Dar-ol Fonoun, the first university inspired of a European model in Iran. It supported also the foundation of the first Iranian newspaper, Vaghaye-e etefaghiyeh (“the event” S), and decreased in a Draconian way the wages which the family members royal received from the national treasure, which pushed those, carried out by the mother of the Shah Mahd Olia, to invent charges against him. These people convinced the Shah to dislocate Amir Kabir of its functions and to send it in exile to Kashan (the capital of the empire being Teheran).

The Russian embassy would have offered a refuge in Russia to Amir Kabir, which he would have refused. Later, at one moment when the Shah was drunk, the mother of the Shah and her assistants asked for an order to him in order to carry out Amir Kabir, order which was promptly carried out in the baths of the garden Bagh-e Fin with Kashan, before the Shah cannot cancel it. Amir to kabir in all full knowledge of the facts accepts without resistance the imperial order. He simply asks to choose how to be carried out. What was accepted. The vain ones are cut to him. The university Amir Kabir de Technologie of Teheran bears its name today.
