ابوالقاسم لاہوتی کی فارسی شاعری میں تعلیم، عورت اور کسان کا انقلابی شعور

REVOLUTIONARY CONSCIOUSNESS OF EDUCATION, WOMEN AND PEASANTS IN ABUL QASIM LAHUTI’S PERSIAN POETRY

Abstract

Abul Qasim Lahuti is a prominent and influential figure in Persian revolutionary poetry, whose work presents a powerful narrative rooted in the Constitutional Movement, socialist thought, and public awakening. This paper offers an analytical study of Lahuti’s revolutionary consciousness in relation to education, women, and the peasant class—groups historically subjected to marginalization. For Lahuti, education is not merely a means of individual advancement but a conscious weapon against oppression, despotism, and class-based exploitation. In his poetry, women are depicted not only as mothers and builders of future generations but also as conscious, active participants in the social structure. Likewise, he emphasizes the necessity of knowledge and awareness as the path to liberation for peasants and workers from ignorance and exploitation. Through metaphor, symbolism, and accessible language, Lahuti delivers a socio-political message that reflects not only the realities of his contemporary Iranian society but also resonates with today’s educational and social discourses. This study demonstrates that Lahuti’s Persian poetry is far more than aesthetic expression—it is a call for intellectual and practical revolution.
