- Title:
- File 12/8 (1 A/31) Anti-British activities of Persians
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence related to alleged 'anti-British' activities of Persians.
Much of the correspondence relates to the so-called 'Basidu incident' of August 1933 in which a British flag flying at Basidu in Persia was pulled down by a Persian officer. This correspondence includes messages sent to the Arab rulers of the Gulf from the British concerning the incident and replies (in English and Arabic) from the rulers of Sharjah, Bahrain, Ajman and the deputy-ruler of Qatar.
The file also contains a copy of the newspaper Iran from September 1933 (folio 44).
Fears about the loyalty of the Holi community in Bahrain during World War Two are also discussed in the file (ff 78-89).
