Question: What is the outlook for the White Revolution in Iran? I am referring to the Westernization of Iran in the early 1960’s.

It started on January 26, 1963.
I got into reading the Lonely Planet travel guides (they are all free on Kindle Unlimited) and started reading the founders’ first book, Across Asia on the Cheap (also on there). It’s very hip, casual, and fun. It’s about the hippie trail, traveling all across Eurasia. In the 1970’s you could pass all the way through Iran and Afghanistan on the way across the continent. Iran was even becoming a progressive, democratic country. Women could vote.
In 1979 that changed with the Iranian Revolution, ousting the shah that began the White Revolution.
So, the topic is, what is the ongoing structure of the White Revolution?
