| Summary, etc. | It considers the practice of taqiyyah during the revelation of the Báb, amongst the early Bábí disciples, treaties and compilations written under taqiyyah. It looks at cases of mass taqiyyah, instances where Bábís cooperated with the authorities in suppression of their peers and describes the attitude of the government officials towards these individuals. Though the origins of taqiyyah can be traced back to the early Shiite communities, some Iranian sources allege its wide spread practice amongst the first generation of Iranian Zoroastrians following the introduction of Islamic rule. However most sources agree that taqiyyah in one form or another was a widespread practice among Iranians by the 18th and 19th Century. |
