(1) There's an excellent show on BBC right now. It's titled –Fall of a shah.
(2) I recommend all of you to watch it if you can.
(3) There's a lot that we can learn and draw comparisons with.
(4) what Strikes me the most was the similarity of the Shah and Tun M in certain respects.
(5) Although their upbringing is completely different (one is of royal upbringing, the other is from a rural upbringing) they share a common passion in modernizing and improving their country.
(6) Both men also had ideas far ahead of its time. The shah for example wanted to give the right to Vote for women. An idea which we took for granted and accept it as a natural right now was vehemently opposed by the mullah groups at that time. Tun M had pegged the ringgit during the economic crisis of 98. An unheard idea at that time.
(7) More info as I research more on the topic
