Lutian and Their Role in the Rebellions of Isfahan between the Years 1240 to 1265 AH or 1824 to 1849 AD

"Luti and Lutigari (Ruffian and Machismo)" has a long history in the culture and social developments of Iran. The ancient origins and cause of this social phenomenon is as old as the history of "chivalry", and it can be traced in the ancient Iran and agility culture and the Islamic generosity. This rooted social phenomenon with many ups and downs in history, during the Qajar period gradually turned to decline. Apart from a series of moral and social evaluations, the Luti's role in political and social developments in Iran during the Qajar period is very important in terms of social and local history. We try to take advantage of some sociological theories, especially the theory of "functionalism" and "deviations" while recognizing their social identities to review their practices and explain the necessity of their presence in the political upheavals and rebellions between 1240 to 1265 AH. The results show that Lutian in the big cities of Iran, especially in Isfahan, the largest and most important city of Iran in the thirteenth AH/ the nineteenth century AD were always present in insurgencies and the most pioneering and influential bands of the army and some underprivileged classes of society in the fight against the government. The dimensions of the rebellion in the above mentioned years during the reign of Fath Ali Shah, Mohammad Shah and and the beginning of Naseroddin Shah's regime and the killings and bloodshed shows the depth of these incidents. Despite the fact that during the Qajar period Lutian were relegated gradually from their attractive position to protect the legacy of chivalry into a weapon in the hands of those influential groups, but studying the role of this social phenomenon in social and cultural life of Iranian cities, enriches studies in the field of social and local history studies and is also very important in the promotion of social history of Iran.
