Agenda
On December 2, 931, Mardāvīj arrived in Isfahan, named himself the Amir of Iran and made Isfahan his capital. From the advent of Islam until Mardāvīj's arrival, Isfahan had been under the jurisdiction of the Arabs, and was favored by Mansur, one of the Abbassid Caliphs during his rule.
Once in Isfahan, Mardāvīj declared his ruling agenda and asked Iranians to help him to revive the Persian Empire and its Zoroastrian traditions.
The reliable evidence indicate that in February 932, after about three centuries, Mardāvīj and his court celebrated Sadeh in Isfahan and many Iranians observed Sadeh again.

Famous quotes containing the word agenda:
“The Law of Triviality ... briefly stated, it means that the time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum involved.”

“The failures of the press have contributed immensely to the emergence of a talk-show nation, in which public discourse is reduced to ranting and raving and posturing. We now have a mainstream press whose news agenda is increasingly influenced by this netherworld.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“The first full-fledged generation of women in the professions did not talk about their overbooked agenda or the toll it took on them and their families. They knew that their position in the office was shaky at best. . . . If they suffered self-doubt or frustration . . . they blamed themselves—either for expecting too much or for doing too little.”
—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)
