Nida-yi Vatan (
History and profile
Nida-yi Vatan was established by the journalist Ahmad Majd Al Islam Kirmani who also edited the paper.[2][3] Its first issue appeared on 27 December 1906.[4] Nida-yi Vatan was headquartered in Tehran.[4]
Kirmani described the paper as a liberal publication which attempted to make the notion of constitutionalism much more popular in the country.[2] In each issue the statement hubb al-watan min al-iman (Persian: love of homeland is of the faith) was put under its title.[5] This sentence is attributed by the Sufi Muslims to Prophet Mohammad which refers to the Sufis' attempt to reach unity with the divine.[5] In the paper, this statement was employed to encourage patriotism among its readers.[5]
The paper frequently featured brief biographies of the deputies.[2] It also published patriotic poems and letters from its readers.[5][6] Unlike other publications established in the same period such as Majlis the paper was strictly controlled by the state.[1] Nida-yi Vatan folded in June 1908.[2]
Some of its issues are archived by the University of Chicago Library.[4]
