        Discovering oil in 1908 and establishing first oil well of the Middle East in the homeland of Bakhtiaries, Masjed Soleyman, have influenced that area and paved the ground for the British colonial presence in this area. Although native Bakhtiari wanderers early worked as the work forces in the oil facilities, they soon understand intelligently that they were seized for the colonialists' goals. The sense of oil ownership of their homeland, patriotism, and their disloyalty to the Pahlavie's government strengthen their distrust to the imperialists.  This paper has considered anti-colonialism aspects in dialectical poem of Masjed Soleyman Resurrection, the most popular poem between Bakhtiaries, with sociological viewpoint.    The result of this paper is as follows: Speech of the presence of colonialism and using oil of their ancestral land. Speech of the injustice of employers in deal with natives. Declaration of the lost generation. Declaration of the Pahlavi government.   Manuscript profile

        In every society there exists a kind of collective consciousness known as national awareness and it is expressed in Persian literature as national patriotic theme.  The purpose of this article is to discuss and evaluate Gholam Ali Ra’di Azarakhshi’s viewpoints regarding Persian language, culture, civilization, and social values of Iran and to study and analyze national and patriotic themes in his compositions. Furthermore, the application of contemporary epic literature in his compositions is studied.  Using descriptive analytic and library approach the attempt is made in this article to study themes such as patriotism, antagonism towards enemy, also to study national and historical characters.  The results obtained show that Ra’di paid special attention towards contemporary epic functions such as anti-colonialism, national identity and language, preservation of independence and territorial integrity.  His attitude towards the concept of homeland and patriotism is to a large extent different from that of other poets.  The vastness of his thoughts in celebrating national and historical figures spans past till present characters.
