Abstract
In order to maintain the integrity of the country, the governments are obliged to identify the identity crisis and strengthen the components of the national identity in the people. In this research, the roots of this crisis were identified in the opinions and writings of Mirza Malkam Khan by using Skinner's hermeneutic method and by studying the texts. The results show that national identity has three main pillars, religious identity, Iranian and national identity, freedom or democracy, and the conflict and attention to one and neglecting the other pillars has caused identity crisis in different eras. You can see the manifestation of national identity in the slogan of independence, freedom and the Islamic Republic. Independence shows the national and Iranian identity, freedom shows democracy and the Islamic Republic shows the religious identity of Iranians. Incomplete attention to one or two of these dimensions without paying attention to other dimensions has led to the emergence of identity crisis throughout the contemporary history of Iran.
