Intellectual elements, particularly if they have a highlighted role in the structure of political power, can have undeniable effects in line with political-social orientations of their own society. Mahmoud Tarzi, a contemporary Afghani writer, intellectual and politician is one of the famous figures who during the upheavals of recent century, have attracted the attentions of researchers. But, the main approach of investigating his ideas and intellectual foundations have been focused and consequences and effects of his thoughts in relation with other countries and particularly Iran have received less attention and investigations. In most of researchers, always Tarzi's suggestions regarding reformist plans in Afghanistan and his efforts in line with reforming inappropriate political and cultural behaviors of the Afghani society and the lack of systematic and effective relations with the countries of the region and beyond have been focused. In this article, with a historical-analytical approach regarding Tarzi's dependency to the government, is to investigate some aspects of his main ideas in the Newspaper of Siraj-ul-Akhbar, his efforts to present ideas about the superiority of a single ethnic group-Afghan- and a single language-Pashtu- and the reasons of his opposition to the presence of Iranians in the political, economic, and cultural systems of Afghanistan.
