History of the Parsis, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Their Manners, Customs, Religion

This book traces the origins, history, and customs of the Parsi community. Originally from Persia, the Parsis fled their homeland to India to escape persecution by Arab invaders. The author, a Parsi, recounts the often-overlooked history of his people from their migration to their modern achievements. He highlights the challenges faced by the Parsis, including discrimination and forced assimilation, as well as their contributions to Indian society. The book delves into the depth of Parsi culture, beliefs, and traditions, and argues that despite their small numbers, they have had a disproportionate impact due to their skills and ingenuity.Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
