Bijan Ashtari’s writing was never passive. It questioned, it confronted, and it provoked necessary conversations. As both a literary craftsman and political analyst, he brought an incisive perspective to his work — one that challenged official narratives and gave voice to those often overlooked or silenced. Born with a deep curiosity for the structures of power and the stories that shape nations, Bijan pursued a life dedicated to both understanding and illuminating the intersections between politics, history, and personal experience. His writing traversed borders — geographical, ideological, and emotional — earning him recognition not just for what he said, but for how fearlessly he said it.
