The Parsis

The Parsis by James Hope Moulton is a comprehensive book that explores the history, culture, and religion of the Parsi community. The Parsis are a religious minority group in India who migrated from Persia (modern-day Iran) in the 8th century AD to escape religious persecution. The book delves into the origins of the Parsis and their unique customs and traditions. It examines their religious beliefs, including the worship of fire and their reverence for the prophet Zarathustra. The Parsis have made significant contributions to Indian society, particularly in the fields of business, education, and the arts, and the book explores their impact on Indian culture. The author also discusses the challenges faced by the Parsi community in modern times, including declining population numbers and the preservation of their cultural heritage. Overall, The Parsis is an informative and insightful book that provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of this unique community.THIS 142 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Treasure of the Magi: A Study of Modern Zoroastrianism, by James Hope Moulton.
