==Early life==
Majd's maternal grandfather was the Ayatollah Mohammad Kazem Assar (1885–1975), who was born to an Iraqi mother and an Iranian father. The Ayatollah, along with other contemporary ulema, overcame traditional opposition to serve as a professor of philosophy at the University of Tehran.〔Mehrzad Boroujerdi, ''Iranian Intellectuals and the West. The tormented triumph of nationalism'' (University of Syracuse 1996) at 95, 188–189.〕 His own father, whose origins were in the village of Ardakan, Iran, became representative of a "middle class" that was "pro-democratic and pro-modernization".〔Majd, ''The Ayatollahs' Democracy'' (2010): the Ayatollah at page 89, his own father at pages 90–91. The Ayatollah's son Nassir Assar (born 1926), Majd's uncle, incurred controversy and later personal danger due to his appointment under the Shah as "deputy prime minister in charge of ''Oghaf''" (an Iranian waqf (endowment )). ''Ibid.'' at 89–90. The expatriate singer and author Shusha Guppy (1935–2008), a daughter of the same Ayatollah, was his aunt.〕
Raised in a family involved in the diplomatic service, Majd lived from infancy abroad, mostly in the US and in England but attending American schools in varied places, such as Tunis and New Delhi. He boarded at St Paul's School in London, England and attended George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He stayed in the US after the 1979 revolution and finished his college education in the US.
