Amir Kabir
Mirza Taghi Khan-e Farahani (Persian: میرزا تقیخان فراهانی), better known as Amir Kabir (Persian: امیرکبیر; 9 January 1807 – 10 January 1852), was chief minister to Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (Shah of Persia) for the first three years of his reign. He is widely considered to be "Iran's first reformer", a modernizer who was "unjustly struck down" as he attempted to bring "gradual reform" to Iran. Amir Kabir founded the first centre for higher education in Iran and the second Persian-language newspaper in the country. Read more on Wikipedia
