An ancient people with roots in pre-Islamic Persia, the Parsis are followers of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. After fleeing persecution in their homeland, the Parsis arrived in India over a millennium ago. They settled in various locations throughout the country, ultimately establishing thriving communities in Mumbai and other major cities. This book delves into the unique cultural practices of the Parsis, including their intricate wedding ceremonies, the construction of 'Towers of Silence' for the disposal of the dead, and their reverence for fire. The author also explores their contributions to Indian society, particularly in the fields of industry, philanthropy, and education.
