Abstract

This study investigates the response of the Baloch Sunni ethno-religious minorty towards the assimilationist approach of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It argues that the Iranian theocratic political system uses an assimilationist approach and tries to assimilate the Baloch-Sunni into Shia Persain dominated ethno-religious group; but, this policy has been resisted by different strata of the society. The study finds that although there is a general consensus among the Baloch Sunnis to uphold their ethno-religious values, each segment of the Baloch Sunni society is combatting the central government’s ethno-religious policy on its own way depending on the means available, ranging from cultural efforts to political and military activities.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Beluci-Sünni etnik azınlığının İran İslam Cumhuriyeti'nin asimilasyon temelli yaklaşımına karşı tepkisini incelemektedir. Bu çalışmada İran teokratik siyasal sisteminin asimilasyon temelli bir yaklaşım benimsediği ve Beluci-Sunnilerini egemen etnik-dini grup olan Şii Farslar içinde asimile etmeye çalıştığı, ancak bu politikanın toplumun farklı kesimleri tarafından direnişle karşılandığı iddia edilmektedir. Sonuç olarak bu araştırma Beluci Sunniler arasında etno-dini değerlerini korumak için genel bir fikir birliğinin olmasına rağmen, Beluci-Sunni toplumunun her bir kesiminin kendine uygun olan ve kültürel çabalardan politik ve askeri faaliyetlere kadar uzanan yöntemlerle merkezi hükümetin etno-dini politikasına karşı mücadele ettiğni tespit etmektedir.
