Who they are
The Sorkhei are an indigenous people of Iran, connected to ancient Iranian roots and the Iranian and Median peoples cluster. They are part of the vast mosaic of Persian groups that preserve their own language and customs within a Persian-majority country. They live out their identity within Islam, which shapes family and community life.
