noun · revolution
Meaning
معنی۱
The word has split families. For some Iranians, انقلاب means liberation from the Shah's autocracy. For others it means the start of the country's long catastrophe. Iranian dinner tables can fall silent over the word, and diaspora friendships can be calibrated by which version of "before" and "after" the speaker carries.
