Ethnic diversity is a universal phenomenon. Each country designs policy for managing ethnic diversity on the basis of its objectives and approaches on the one hand, and the particular mode of ethnic diversity in that country on the other hand. Islamic Republic of Iran, as a country with a long-standing ethnic diversity, has tried to manage this diversity on the basis of the country's particular view of ethnic diversity and its unique mode of ethnic composition. While reviewing and critiquing some approaches to ethnic management, the authors have attempted to extract visions and objectives of handling ethnic issues in Iran and to propose policies for managing ethnic diversity based on the Islamic Republic of Iran's opportunity-based approach to ethnic diversity and the directives of the leaders of the revolution and the Constitutional and other legal documents of the Republic.

Shahnameh has been divided into three mythical, heroic and historical periods. As much as the heroic and historical characters are semi-real-semi-imaginary, Iran’s nature is also changed in the elixir of Shahnameh. Ferdowsi’s view of the homeland arises from the monotheistic worldview and the idea of cosmopolitanism. His artistic changing of limited Iran to a bridge to reach unlimited truth is the outcome of fusion of wisdom and love and is derived from the temperance dominating his thinking. Although Ferdowsi loves Iran, he maintains the justice and does not go to extremes. Hence, the Iran he depicts is neither like the utopia of the philosophers and mystics is an imaginary place and nor like the nationalists’ Iran is restricted to the racists. From Ferdowsi’s perspective, hometown is holy; however, the holiness of Iran in Shahnameh is not because of the land but because of reverence for the innocence of its residents. This fact has made the protection of true values holy in the world he thinks is not worth loving, and without rejecting the material world, has made him pay attention to its spiritual aspect, which protects the dignity of human being. The present study was aimed to prove this claim.
