Kasravi saw one of the steps in the progress of Iran and achieving a democratic society as reforming the Persian language.[2] Zabân-e Pâk was one of the first works that sought to suggest refinements of Persian. Kasravi found dead words of Middle Persian and preferred their use over Arabic loanwords.[3] The movement that Kasravi started, today known as "Sareh Persian", tries to use original Iranian words.[4]
