Ostan-e Fars has a population of 4 385 869 (2005)

Qashqais also live in Esfahan province in large numbers. They are also in 4mahal B. and BA Kuhgaluye and Khuzestan. Their numbers in Fars is enormous. Their nomads and villagers are all across Fars from Abade to Firuz Abad, plus you should take into consideration that a rather large number of Shirazis are of Qashqai origins. All taken into account a number of 1.5 or 2 million Qashqais all over Iran is very plausible.Babakexorramdin 22:01, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Your comments were reverted because you were disruptivly changing the talk page, either by blanking or by making personal attacks. The population is referenced by an external link, and your other claim is dubious without a citation (especially when you are trying to contradict an existing reference.) --Sigma 7 11:02, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Women´s clothes

Under the Iranian law all women must follow the strict dress code, the women from this tribe show their hair and wear very colorful clothes, what thinks the Islamic republic of Iran about them????

The dress code is not as rigid as some people in the west think. In addition they take it more easy on the Nomadic and Rural people. In the cities they might put some pressure from time to time but traditional cloths on the country side are generally percieved as Ok. Also it differs from region to region. Cities such as Qom, Tabriz, Ardabil. Yazd, kerman are conservative. But the Rural Caspian, nomadic area, Shiraz, and Northern tehran are more liberal in this regard.--Babakexorramdin (talk) 09:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
