Rajai is not only a hero of the Iranian revolution; his memory represents an alternative course of development for the revolution.
It was Rajai's murder, alongside those of former prime minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar and countless other officials killed in the period 1981-1982, that profoundly radicalized the Islamic republic and forced it to crack down decisively on all forms of dissent, armed or otherwise.
The message is clear: the "imam" rests among his core constituency, and the fate of the revolution is inextricably tied to its ability to improve the circumstances of the disadvantaged social classes who gave their sons to it.

Although he had succeeded his father as shah in 1941, prior to 1953 Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi had been overshadowed by Mosaddeq and other politicians and seemed destined to remain a passive, constitutional monarch.
Initially, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi did not demonstrate the same enthusiasm for development and reform programs that his father had shown.
Mohammad Reza Shah took more interest in industrial and public works projects, and between 1963 and 1978 numerous development schemes contributed to an increase in industrialization and urbanization.
