@Truthfears Guilty Artificial insemination with sperms from Zoorastrian males may help the community survive even when they girls have married out side, husbands wouldn't really know would they? ha ha just a suggestion, I like that joke about a Zoorastrian with a hard on walks into a wall, breaks his nose first, didn't know the thingy was so small! ha ha
Perhaps I’m the only one among several thousand Tibetan refugees in India who happened to pick A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, and from there on completely fell in love not just for the book and the author but this whole community. May it thrive just as it has always been. 💕🙏🏼
Im Iranian im looking foward to visit India xD that old resteraunt owner made me happy, that he putted up both the Indian and Iranian flag was nice. Both is their Home.
All iranian must leave islam and accept zorastrian religion Which was their original religion.. And make iran persia again Iran should be zorastrian state Not muslim state And it will happen
@PatrickMCcolley lool top 3 richest indians are hindus tho...hahahah but nevermind i have utmost respect for this community not for u uneducated people
@@abcatos my request to all brother and sisters all over the world is that plz go back to your scriptures... atleast must follow the one message common written in all scriptures of the UNIVERSE( BY THE HELP OF GOD I MUST GIVE YOU REFERENCES if you want WHETHER IT IS FROM JUDAISM CHRISTIANITY HINDUISM AND parsiism)that ALLAH ALMIGHTY (THE GOD,THE CREATOR,THE SUSTAINER,THE SUPREME POWER,THE REAL KING AND THE OWNER OF ALL) IS ONE,and Prophet Mohammed (SAW) IS HIS LAST AND FINAL MESSENGER...!!!to enter into peaceful and lovely life eternally... The truth is clear with logic... please follow for yourself... please prevent yourself from the eternal hellfire by accepting and practising atleast common message of Creator in the religious scriptures of the world....I invite all of you to show me one word of the holy Quran that is against the ethics of humanity...read about Islam...
The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority. The Parsi courage is well reflected in every sphere as they have excelled. Thanks for being the golden thread of the fabric.
As an Iranian, I would like to travel to India one day and meet my fellow Persians in India. For us Iranians, the Parsis of India are like pure jewels that have remained for us from the brilliant past of our time. When I read history, I see that Indian Parsis have always remembered their Iranian compatriots in times of need, for example, in the same corona virus that passed, Indian Parsis gave a large amount of vaccines to the people of Iran. When I found out about this for the first time, I became very emotional and cried. I deeply believe that one day our country, Iran, will be freed from the hands of the Arab demons who have taken over Iran's sovereignty for a thousand years and are making the people of Iran suffer, and all of us Persians will unite again and build our Ahurai country.
My first Parsi friend was surprisingly from Hyderabad, not Mumbai. It was from his old parents that I learned about the massacre of Hindus carried out by Razkar Muslims during the time of independence, before Patel sent in the army - facts that I later found to be true. Really nice people. May they live long and prosperous as a community.
@@bizogi9129 Jinnah was a Gujarati Muslim , his grandfather was a Muslim convert from Hindu . Jinnah married a Parsi lady ( against the wish of the bride family). Correct your historical fact !
@@biswabose8577 is Jinnah a Hindu surname? It's surely not a Muslim one. I am sure a lot of the Gujrati converts to Islam had Parsi backround as all of them have somethingwala against their name.
@@bizogi9129 Surnames changes with religious traditions . Jinnah is most likely a Sindhi dialect surname. Just like the Kashmiri Muslim surnames like Butt, Wani etc are actually Hindu surnames originally Bhat and Vani but changed to Islamic tone after their conversion to Islam . Jinnah surname definitely has such modified history. Lot of Sindhi surnames are in their own dialects and does not sound Sanskrit.
Indians love Zoroastrians. They are pride of our country. No single community has contributed to economic well being like they did and doing. Really peace loving, humble and hard working people. My father always asked me to seek a role model in Ratan Tata and Sir Palkiwala.
I am not a Parsi but I'll tell you that the Parsi community is the greatest in the whole world. Their track record shows a list of achievers, contributors, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, philanthropists, etc. They have always known to give, give and give and in the process enrich those who genuinely associate with them. They have high ethical standards, respect for their culture and possess a fantastic sense of humour. They have never known to cause harm to anyone- if only it is just the opposite of it. They are really in minority and yet never ever raise a hue or cry about it (in many ways, they are entitled to do that). Truly, they deserve a lot more when you compare with other major communities around the world. My best wishes to them and I just wish this community grows in size and that they are protected at all costs. This is a lovely documentary. It kind of showcases what Parsis are all about.
Parsees were major participants in the opium trade that was forced on China, where it was illegal. That is how the wealthy Parsees made their fortunes.
I am from Mumbai, I grew up with Parsi families, very kind, good heart people, they r the best people in India. It’s sad to say, there r not too many Parsi left, I’ve notice, they don’t get married, live very single and simple life. Never bother anyone, love their dhansaak, I live in canada, but still miss that food.
@JS Magrey we idol worshippers gave them our home to stay in their needy time and by the passing time they became a part of ourselves. The people like you are the reason for hate between the communities.
I have studied and worked with a few parsis and I must say they are the sweetest and the most disciplined community I have come accross. The most law abiding and fun loving people. I hope they take some steps to arrest their dwindling population. We would certainly love to have more numbers around and as part of the Indian society.
Iran's real name was Ariyana (the Land of Aryans - and it was once a part of Hindu INDIA. ) we'll welcome you by open arms and hearts if you're coming as an Aryan or a Zorastrian, but forget if you're coming as Pislamic Pissful Jihadist
@Ayesh Chatervedi They have been trying for so many years. It is in their agenda. But it is booming even in the west. So many white girls converting to Islam and marrying Muslim men.
+VOICE OF TAT dude i know a lot of stuff about these things but never knew what tat is...wel now i learned something. Is the language very close to parsi spoken in iran or is there a big difference in dialect? I read that there are very few left in caucasus?
+पेशवा JAY Absolutely true...but like jews if you are very few people and want to survive you need to make a myth about yourself, be diplomatic ( so the majority doesn't massacre you lol ) and be a bit racist.
Vikram You might have your perception. Rest assured your statement is nomadic and ignorant. India being a Hindu nation welcomed everyone from Pasi Musle and Christians. India even welcome sikhs in 1947 with open arms when they were running from pakistan. Its the essence of time. There was a time in History when Parsi's wanted to eliminate India from the face of earth and look at the tirany of time the last living parsi's has to take refuge in India to protect their race and religion Zoroastrian. So its HINDUS who are the most kind and accepted every needy in the world. Har Har Mahadev Jai Hind
Truthfears Guilty You need to learn to distingusih facts from frictions. The word Hindu initiates from Hind Mahasagar. Next India was a term derived from Indus valley and was empesized by British colonials. The name of the nation was and is BHARAT. So get your facts prior to spewing nonsense.To elaborate further Nation Hind..religion Sanatan.. Let me.know if you require further elobartion . Har har Mahadev Jai Hind
Parsi community is a true jewel in the Indian necklace. Despite its small size this community has contributed immensely to make India great. In my understanding the community alone could have the maximum number of Bharat Ratans. A true symbol of devotion to hard work and their country, generosity and selfless charity to the community, creativity in the works of arts and culture and above all love for India. As a non Parsi I salute to this community for their invaluable contributions to India.
I had 4 Parsi classmates in my class of 60 in 1997 @ Symbiosis, Pune and we joked so many times over that it was a phenomenal aberrartion in a community that was less than 70,000 strong at that time. A phenomenal community indeed!!
As a Persian I'm so proud of our fellow Parsis over in India. Don't let the Parsi community die, look to Iran for fresh Persian blood. Iranians never really accepted islam, and have always remained Zoroastrian in heart and culture and proud of it. Time to unite.
I'm a kurd from anatolia ( we live in easte of nowadays Turkey since chaldoran war about 370 years ago before of this war we where in Iran territory 33 percent of whole Turkey is belong to iran also whole of caucas was a part of iran before Russia seperate it in 280 years ago ) last year I went to Iran, iranian people( not government) are very nationalist people , they are in love with their glorious history ( everywhere they proudly talked about syros the great, Zarathustra and iranian famous characters and culture ,their dream is to eliminate the cancer of islam from their country and becom zoroastrian and oath to wisdom again , they told me our ancestors became moslem by force) and then I considered myself as a true iranian with a same attitude , I learned persian( it wasn't that hard our language with persian is not only same family but also it's close but I did my best willpower )I am in love with my country culture and history , I am waiting for the day all of us(iranian) come back together and make iran great again( for someone who don't know iran is the ancient name of my country not Persia , persia is what Greeks called us, like how the world calls duchland Germany(Persian is one of iranian languages , there are Kurds,gilaks,tat,lor,baloch, taleshi, mazani and etc iranian people with iranian languages), but they don't care they call their country as duchland , iran means =land of aryans =land of Nobel people, also this iran name founded many ancient sites in iran like takhte jamshid palace and also in avesta book), gob bless you my Persian brothers and sisters we will join in iran together soon🙏
@Faraz Matin You couldn't have said it better! I'm truly impressed by how Knowledgeable you are. Do you speak Kurmanji? Yes our country's name has always been Iran b/c of the many Iranian branches together. We do absolutely hate the regime, you are spot on, and want to go back to our real roots and also have a democratic Iran with NO mullahs. We are all one people, Kurds, Persian, Ossetian, Zazaki, Talysh, Tati, Mazani, Gilaki, Laki, Lur, Bakhtiari , Semnani, Baluch, Pashtun, Tajik, Pamiris who all speak a varied branch of Iranian languages. Kurds are the second biggest Iranian branch, which makes them the big brother of all the other Iranians. Before the war with the Ottomans which separated what was northwestern region of Iran, splitting the Kurds, the Kurds were never a minority in Iran. Even the Safavids were originally a Kurdish clan of Zarrin-kolah of Nahavand. The British and Russians divided our lands to keep us week. It's also my wish and dream that one day we all reunite under one united land! I think the Kurds have the power to make that happen, and help create the constitution for it. If we ever get rid of mullahs (which we will) be ready to take back your lands/all of Iran.
As a Persian I'm so proud of my fellow Parsis in India You should be proud of India who gave them refuge while you idiots converted and persecuted them to the point where now India has more Zoroastrians than their home country. What a shame.
Beautiful!!! As an Irani Zaratushti, it's heartwarming and amazes me to see how after years Parsis kept the tradition and teachings of Asho Zarathushtra alive. May Dadar Ormazd bless their community and bless India and the Indian people. Hopefully one day I will be able to visit the India Atash Behrams. Dadar Ormazd Panah bad, Dir Zivashni shad bad!🙏🏼🔥🌹
I really like.love and respect parsi community... they are peaceful Indian "Iranian"... hats off to you parsi community of contribution to the nation "India".... thanks a lot
David Kallenbach Judaism is a religion not a race. Why do you call parsis ,tamils,and Bengalis as jews. Tamils and Bengalis are Hindus not Jews while parsis follow a different religion called Zoroastrianism and they are not Jews.
You know who else was Bawa? Jamsetji tata, father of indian industry, dadabhai naoroji, founder of Indian National Congress, Homi Sethna, founder of Indias nuclear program, Sam Maneckshaw, Indian army's very very first five-star field marshall. Us bawas may like some aspects of british culture but parsis give their full patriotism and loyalty to India :)
I am proud that India as a cultural accepted all Faiths and given rufuge to almost all ppl who turned to her for help! Be it zorostrians, Jews, Christian and Muslims , jain, Sikhs, Buddhists to name a few...although during colonizing times and foreign attacks India had to face a lot! Still India doesn't forgot its spirit! We are Happy to have you (parsi community) in our country ! You have been one of the most peaceful , progressive and a community heard in news for good reasons..
Yes agreed with you sir/mam and that makes India a Secular country 🇮🇳 But at the same times its very strange & surprising to watch this video with a specy lady wearing white dress targeting Pope(Head of Christian-Roman Catholic religion) and stating they don't have a Central figure like Pope and she concluded its not good to have a strong dictator in any religion. If this is the case, then why Paris have been marrying other communities can she simply justify & elaborate on this aspect in what comment she's making???
qazwsxed newsflash: converting out of Islam is punished with *death penalty* in the "Islamic Republic of Iran". People are afraid because they know what the regime is capable of. Iranians would convert back if they could and they are already converting *in secret:* ruclips.net/video/aTVVb1Cxypw/видео.html
@qazwsxed Iranians are still Zoroastrian in culture and in their heart, never really cared for islam but had to fake it to survive. A lot of Iranians don't even consider themselves muslim anymore. Once we get rid of the regime things will change a lot!
Mokh7777 Iranians in my mind aren’t all Zoroastrian. They must follow the religion themselves, have a Naujote & go through the entire process that actual Zoroastrians do. It’s like being baptized into the religion. I am a Zoroastrian who lives in Canada where plenty of Irani people live & I constantly get asked if I am Persian, I will answer them with “I am Zoroastrian, which is an old Persian religion” & they will have the most confused look on their face b/c they don’t know what Zoroastrianism is, though the Fravashi is the same symbol that all Iranians use.
Kass They definitely would know what Zoroastrianism is (Mazdayasna/Zartoshti as it is referred in Persian). Perhaps they get confused when you mention you’re not from Iran or not Persian, since it’s an Iranian/Persian following. Navjote is for Parsis (Persian) Zoroastrians of India. The Iranian Zoroastrians call it Sedreh pushi. The Parsis of India also added some rules to keep their Parsi ethnicity from mixing with other Indians that does not exist amongst Iranians since they already carry the blood. What I meant is culturally Iranians/Persians’ culture still pretty much remains pre-Islamic Zoroastrian/Mithraic and still continue to carry the same traditions in all the various regions of Iran from thousands of years ago before Islam even arrived. Happy Nowruz 🌹
I want this community to survive because they are open minded and modernized. Anyone who is open minded and modernized are welcome. They are much better than conservative communities with weird practices. Cudos to the government to try and make this community survive.
They are not open minded, since they are more educated but still they don't allow other religions to change their religion into Parsi. They believe that they are superior like Jews in all human races. If they really kind communities then they should go ahead of their race ego.
I love the British requirement of Parsi's to have a surname. My grandfather took the name Todiwala. He married outside of the faith and thus, my father, me oand my sister are considered Zoroastrian!
22:00 This almost made me emotional when I think about it. Imagine if those Parsis and King Jadav Rana got to see today what their ONE decision culminated into . One act of kindness that rippled through time and generations . Parsis indeed sweetened Indian community .
R u sure you belong to the Sanatan dharm? Bcoz a true Sanatani will never talk like this. Maintain the highest standards of your ancestors.We are all proud of Akhand Bharat and Sanatan Dharm
The parsis accepted and adapted to the hindu dress and culture and religious practices when took refuge to gujarat. Butnow its high time they be their original.ZORASTRIAN
this one beautiful community has made India proud. from revolutionary industrialists like Tata,Godrej, poonawala to Dr Homi Jehangir baba to phenomenal actors like Boman irani. Parsis have contributed greatly towards revolutionary changes in India. we couldn't have asked for more. i love Parsis more than any community in India. love and respect from my heart to my Parsi brothers and sisters. peace
There is nothing great about any Race. Just stop being morons. In fact the Parsis helped the British a lot in looting our country. Take some flowers and give them to your parents for giving birth to you and raising you and never again praise any Race.
Awww... this made me cry! I truly love these people, they have enriched India in so many ways. I have been blessed to have known Parsis at close quarters and have nothing but love, respect, and deep admiration for them. Please don't let your numbers dwindle, we need you around us as much as we need air to breathe! Live long and prosper you wonderful, wonderful people! Mmmmuuuaaaahhh!
Thanks for indian people for supporting parsis . Parsis are so smart in economic and they try to develope india in the world. India is the great nation .jai india
I had a lot of sweet memories with my senior Mr P.R.Wadia of Dadar while conducting series of Bank audit in the rural areas of Maharashtra & Gujrat. Tears roll down my cheeks while remembering him for all the good reasons & funny moments in work place/outside.
I'm a persian borned and raised in Sweden. A few years ago when I was trying to find my path in life I came across zoroastrianism, I had heared a lot of good things. So later I did my navjote and at my navjote I had the honor of meeting a few parsis from india and iranian zoroastrians. wonderful people, they didn't even know me but after the ceremony I got so much love from all of them.
One of the greatest Parsis to grace Mother India’s soil was Lt. Col. Ardeshir Tarapore. A winner of the highest Military Honour in India, the Param Vir Chakra. Lest we forget.
Anish Thakoerdin The Parsis, whose name means "Persians", are descended from Persian Zoroastrians who emigrated to India to avoid religious persecution by the Muslims.

Ava Tehrani, Parsi litterally means the people who came from Faras (persia aka Aariyaana, the real Name - once was a part of Vedic India) in gujarati language. if you're Zarathostian - you're eligible to call your self a " PARSI" ...! but if you're turk-islamist by blood and religion, you're just an "Iraani" for us-Gujaraties. in gujarat- in india Our Beloved Parsies have earned highest Love & respects of people like no other communities.
In my college batch we had a Parsi guy he was so sweet😊. He never said anything wrong always smiled and was respectful to all. My sir was also parsi he was also very nice.
Ratan Tata is truly an Indian national treasure along w so many other gr8 Parsis. They only give, give, give. Compare them w people like Ambani's who only take take take, shame on them
Excellent documentary I have ever seen on this subject. Having lived in Mumbai for several years with Parsi friends, I can speak Parsi Gujarati, know their customs and religion well. My son and daughter-in-law asked me a question about Parsis and Zoroastrian religion. This was a best site where I could direct them. Thank you very much and appreciated. Aavjo!
My family has had the good fortune of spending lot of time with a parsee family, my father's best frnd and mentor was a Parsee man named Mr.Parekh, he was the richest man of our town (he owned almost half of the town) but he was one of the the most down to earth and humble man i have seen, we were part of all their fuctions such as navroz, navjyot or weddings, amazing food and amazing hospitality. Respect........
@@navroz1135he's a kind hearted person who just wanted to appreciate something beautiful he saw a youtube. Why we hindus are becoming so insensitive and rude to others? One good hearted muslim is as good as a good hearted hindi. For god sakes adopt some dharma and sanskar.
I love the way Parsis speak Gujarati language. It sounds sooooo cute. I love to listen them speaking in Gujarati very much. It brings smile on my face just listening anything in Gujarati from any Parsi. I pray to God may Parsis live prosperous and healthy life forever.
Incredible how much they have contributed. We embraced them and gave them a home. They returned with interest with their zest for life and brilliance. Thank you.
I'm Iranian and Muslim but I'm wondering how some names are still being shared between us, Farrokh, Nariman, Bahram, Khosro, Cyrus, ... These names are still common in Iran not just in Zoroastrian community in Iran. Muslim also choose these ancient names for their children. Nowrouz is a big thing in Iran and the names of the months of the year start with Farvardin and end with Esfand. These names are also from the ancient era and being shared between us. Good to know more about you. Long live India, and Parsis
As an Iranian I'm baffled why you would still follow such a horrid religion the worse enemy of Iranians and its culture in all of its history. I hope you join the rest of us and drop this ball and chain title of muslim
@@Mokh7777 why are you so against islam you guys were an empire then people choose another faith first you guys tried to supress it with your power then when that failed out of fear you guys left for another country
arshaqmuddassir you sound like you are clueless about our history. Iranians didn’t “choose another religion”. We got invaded by islam and the religion was forced on the Iranian people. Iranians tried to fight back against outside invasion and foreign religion. So it was Iranians getting “suppressed” by Islamic invasion not the other way around. Please read a history book first before commenting about history.
@@Mokh7777 Persians shld claim their land back like jews in Israel....Iran belongs to Persians....i think the dynasty was cyrus the great the strongest in history.
"If we are not going go change, we are not going to survive" I hope for the betterment of India, the land of absolute inclusiveness, that you will change for the better. Love you parsi log. We owe a lot to your (our collective) community.
I really enjoyed to watch the documentary. i dont care what they have beleives but such a nice people on the earth. Look very innocent, traditional, disciplined and hard worker. they sat up good moral values. I wish them may live with peace & love.
I had 2 parsi friends they were my classmates in 10th n degree in Mumbai.Both of them were peace loving, simple but elegant. Parsi family are over protective for their daughters so that they don't go out of their traditions
Because Parsis remain strict in terms of matrimonial relations. Older generation I mean. For the last 20 years interfaith marriages between Parsis and non Parsis have grown.
@@sumitsingh7835 yeah Parsis are about 65 percent Iranian and 35 percent Gujarati genetically. Many look Punjabi. Most look like mixed Iranians and Indians.
Honestly, I feel like Parsis are so successful because of their mixed heritage, Indian and Iranian. When I compare them with Iranians in Iran, they still seem to be far more successful (for instance, in business) especially when you consider they are a tiny minority. The man in this video banging on about keeping Parsi blood pure doesn't seem to realise his DNA is almost as much Indian as it is Iranian and it is the combination of the two that has produced the results we are seeing.
My first teacher was a Nobel Parsi lady when l was in the nursery school Mrs Dalal ,she had two daughters Shanaz and Gave good friends of childhood days my baba too had Parsi friends one of them was the famous Rusi Modi from the house of Tatas Calcutta has a moderate decent Parsi residents 🙏
Actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal and his girlfriend Gabrielle Sky are both Parsis or Zoroastrians. Actor Tom Rosenthal has Jewish ancestry but he is a Zoroastrian. Actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal’s girlfriend Gabrielle Sky is in her third trimester with their first Parsi child. I am very happy that actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal has finally found a Parsi or Zoroastrian girl to mate with even though she has full lips and a widows peak hairline. I am very happy that Gabrielle Sky has finally found a Parsi or Zoroastrian boy to mate with even though he has dark hair and light brown eyes. 🎭🩰🎨
You know it's a Parsi on road when he is honking continuously at the potholes :) a bit eccentric but very well loved people... India wouldn't be what it is without Parsi's.
what is your point ? many kings helped many peoples of different or other religions or cultures. are you bajrang dal ? if yes, get off the internent, it is not allowed for you.
It's okay but there is nothing to boast so much like they say parsi food is the best or parsi like good food....lol everyone likes good food and everyone consider their food the best.
The most musical soul ever to inhabit Earth, Freddie Mercury, was born a Parsi. Good thoughts, good words and good deeds, dear Fred....you have shown the way of God to the world with your glorious personality.
i used take tution classes from a parsi teacher in our colony...she is no more now but her memories are still afresh in my mind...probably the best teacher i have had in my life...!! love the parsis !! ❤️❤️
Zartoast was born in south Afghanistan, about 1700 bc. When the Harappan civilization ended in 1900 bc, its influence seems to have encouraged Zoroastrian religious thoughts (similar to the Vedic purport) to have been embraced by the local community, but spread over to the west. The Vedic tradition is an extension of still older Puranic tradition of the Yadav tribe of Krishna who preached the glorious Sanatan religion of Vasudeva Vishnu.
We Indians (Bhartiya), always welcomes everyone except radical ideology Parish were respectable community,& all Indians appreciate their contribution,& we want to preserve their culture.
Like many coastal business communities from Zanzibar to Iran, Parsis started to come to India before the birth of Christ. Parsis and Punjabis, as a whole, became most prosperous communities in India during British rule because of their close co-operation with the British.
I have always found Parsi people the nicest and most accommodating whenever I have visited India (Mumbai) Here in the West I worked with a couple of Parsi Managers...loved them no end!! They were like my father and the respect etc was second to none.
We are very proud if our Parsi brothers and sisters... Their contribution towards the development of India is unmatchable.... One think which I like most about them that they are very honest and never asked for reservations though they're just in counting numbers.. Respect for all parsis....
As an Iranian, I deeply believe this. And addressing my dear friend who said that we should solve our problem by ourselves, I must say that the Persians living in India are also considered among us. If the Persians of India were only Indians who are Zoroastrian, their name would not be Persian anymore! Parsi is a Persian word and in its meaning it means someone who belongs to the land of Pars "Iran". The Persian Zoroastrians of India have been in India for a thousand years, but they all have Iranian names, and on the facades of their fire temples, they carve the figures of Persian soldiers of Persepolis Palace in Iran. Those male soldiers do not belong to the Zoroastrian religion, but they are Iranian soldiers. Although, being a Zoroastrian in general means being an Iranian, from where it is clearly written in the Zoroastrian Avesta book, "I praise Far Iran". (Far is a Persian word that has a great place in Zoroastrian belief and I don't know its meaning in other languages, maybe the closest meaning for Far is spirit or existence)
@@Brain_gardening well you guys could make your already present Iranian people more aware about their Zoroastrian roots, the parsis of India are to precious for us to let them go you know. Some of our best people are from this community, also they have shared almost tons of their history in India at this point of time so yeah it's not like we consider them any less than a native here. But it would be cool to see if Iran opens their door for parsis people all over the world so as to visit iran as their religious pilgrimage site.
Long live Indian ppl for letting our ppl live in India and practice there religion freely I love you guys from Iran persians are very proud you are the true Iranian who didn't turn their back on their religion and they culture I wish you guys could speak our language too that would be very beautiful
@Chetan K Bachey You blame Muslims for eating Beef!! What about Horse Sacrifice Worship in your Vedanta? Read your scriptures properly. Ancient Vedic Hindus were Beef eaters.
@@dumdumbrown4225Nope nope. Not at all. Islam does not blame anyone for not being Muslims. Islam is saying Islam is right. What is wrong in being assertive? It is extremists who misuse this.

No doubt about it.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority. The Parsi courage is well reflected in every sphere as they have excelled. Thanks for being the golden thread of the fabric.
Well-articulated message there!
And thanks to the fabric without which every threads is lost.
Love this comment
Parsi deserve more respect than any community in Asia for their dignity,honesty,education,humour and service to humanity.
Zorastrians ( jwara = fire , astra = weapon. ) it is sanskrit meaning actually.
I so totally agree with you.
definitely more than lindus..😂😂
Hindu deserve most respect on the planet shut the fuck up
Shinto Japanese are pretty great. Taoist Chinese pretty amazing.
Don't forget the legend, the second Indian Field Martial (Late) Mr. Sam Manekshaw .
No forget Field Marshal San Manek Sha belongs Paris community but Indian.
I hope Pakistanis can't:)😂😂
A true legend as he was ...will always live forever.. Amar Rahe FM ManekShaw
Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw was the first person to hold this rank. FM Cariappa was given this title after Sam Bahadur.
He was the perfect "AVENGER" of the 1947 who avenged all the deaths and bloodshed during the partition by breaking pakistan.

As an Iranian, I would like to travel to India one day and meet my fellow Persians in India. For us Iranians, the Parsis of India are like pure jewels that have remained for us from the brilliant past of our time. When I read history, I see that Indian Parsis have always remembered their Iranian compatriots in times of need, for example, in the same corona virus that passed, Indian Parsis gave a large amount of vaccines to the people of Iran. When I found out about this for the first time, I became very emotional and cried. I deeply believe that one day our country, Iran, will be freed from the hands of the Arab demons who have taken over Iran's sovereignty for a thousand years and are making the people of Iran suffer, and all of us Persians will unite again and build our Ahurai country.
It's amazing to see that Iranian people still respect their ancestral culture so much.
My first Parsi friend was surprisingly from Hyderabad, not Mumbai. It was from his old parents that I learned about the massacre of Hindus carried out by Razkar Muslims during the time of independence, before Patel sent in the army - facts that I later found to be true. Really nice people. May they live long and prosperous as a community.
@truthseeker jinnah was Parsi as well. How cute.
@@priyanshbhadauria1390 Lol, no wonder he made Pakistan.
@@bizogi9129 Jinnah was a Gujarati Muslim , his grandfather was a Muslim convert from Hindu . Jinnah married a Parsi lady ( against the wish of the bride family). Correct your historical fact !
@@biswabose8577 is Jinnah a Hindu surname? It's surely not a Muslim one. I am sure a lot of the Gujrati converts to Islam had Parsi backround as all of them have somethingwala against their name.
@@bizogi9129 Surnames changes with religious traditions . Jinnah is most likely a Sindhi dialect surname. Just like the Kashmiri Muslim surnames like Butt, Wani etc are actually Hindu surnames originally Bhat and Vani but changed to Islamic tone after their conversion to Islam . Jinnah surname definitely has such modified history. Lot of Sindhi surnames are in their own dialects and does not sound Sanskrit.

Because of this documentary, One day I'll come to Mumbai just to see this beautiful community.
Indians love Zoroastrians. They are pride of our country. No single community has contributed to economic well being like they did and doing. Really peace loving, humble and hard working people. My father always asked me to seek a role model in Ratan Tata and Sir Palkiwala.

I am not a Parsi but I'll tell you that the Parsi community is the greatest in the whole world. Their track record shows a list of achievers, contributors, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, philanthropists, etc. They have always known to give, give and give and in the process enrich those who genuinely associate with them. They have high ethical standards, respect for their culture and possess a fantastic sense of humour. They have never known to cause harm to anyone- if only it is just the opposite of it. They are really in minority and yet never ever raise a hue or cry about it (in many ways, they are entitled to do that). Truly, they deserve a lot more when you compare with other major communities around the world. My best wishes to them and I just wish this community grows in size and that they are protected at all costs.
This is a lovely documentary. It kind of showcases what Parsis are all about.
Parsees were major participants in the opium trade that was forced on China, where it was illegal. That is how the wealthy Parsees made their fortunes.
.........legal luminaries too....[ list of ....entrepreneurs....scientists....]
Agree 100 percent
I am from Mumbai, I grew up with Parsi families, very kind, good heart people, they r the best people in India. It’s sad to say, there r not too many Parsi left, I’ve notice, they don’t get married, live very single and simple life. Never bother anyone, love their dhansaak, I live in canada, but still miss that food.
I am proud of my Indian Parsis...love them... what a great contribution... they made India what it is now.. Made India better.

Vikram You might have your perception. Rest assured your statement is nomadic and ignorant. India being a Hindu nation welcomed everyone from Pasi Musle and Christians. India even welcome sikhs in 1947 with open arms when they were running from pakistan.
Its the essence of time. There was a time in History when Parsi's wanted to eliminate India from the face of earth and look at the tirany of time the last living parsi's has to take refuge in India to protect their race and religion Zoroastrian.
So its HINDUS who are the most kind and accepted every needy in the world.

Parsi community is a true jewel in the Indian necklace. Despite its small size this community has contributed immensely to make India great. In my understanding the community alone could have the maximum number of Bharat Ratans. A true symbol of devotion to hard work and their country, generosity and selfless charity to the community, creativity in the works of arts and culture and above all love for India. As a non Parsi I salute to this community for their invaluable contributions to India.
Parsis are the heart Of India.
A heart
I had 4 Parsi classmates in my class of 60 in 1997 @ Symbiosis, Pune and we joked so many times over that it was a phenomenal aberrartion in a community that was less than 70,000 strong at that time. A phenomenal community indeed!!
Long live parsi community
As a Persian I'm so proud of our fellow Parsis over in India. Don't let the Parsi community die, look to Iran for fresh Persian blood. Iranians never really accepted islam, and have always remained Zoroastrian in heart and culture and proud of it. Time to unite.
Time to change your religion
@Tony Bhatti hey stop being insensitive
I'm a kurd from anatolia ( we live in easte of nowadays Turkey since chaldoran war about 370 years ago before of this war we where in Iran territory 33 percent of whole Turkey is belong to iran also whole of caucas was a part of iran before Russia seperate it in 280 years ago ) last year I went to Iran, iranian people( not government) are very nationalist people , they are in love with their glorious history ( everywhere they proudly talked about syros the great, Zarathustra and iranian famous characters and culture ,their dream is to eliminate the cancer of islam from their country and becom zoroastrian and oath to wisdom again , they told me our ancestors became moslem by force) and then I considered myself as a true iranian with a same attitude , I learned persian( it wasn't that hard our language with persian is not only same family but also it's close but I did my best willpower )I am in love with my country culture and history , I am waiting for the day all of us(iranian) come back together and make iran great again( for someone who don't know iran is the ancient name of my country not Persia , persia is what Greeks called us, like how the world calls duchland Germany(Persian is one of iranian languages , there are Kurds,gilaks,tat,lor,baloch, taleshi, mazani and etc iranian people with iranian languages), but they don't care they call their country as duchland , iran means =land of aryans =land of Nobel people, also this iran name founded many ancient sites in iran like takhte jamshid palace and also in avesta book), gob bless you my Persian brothers and sisters we will join in iran together soon🙏
@Faraz Matin You couldn't have said it better! I'm truly impressed by how Knowledgeable you are. Do you speak Kurmanji? Yes our country's name has always been Iran b/c of the many Iranian branches together. We do absolutely hate the regime, you are spot on, and want to go back to our real roots and also have a democratic Iran with NO mullahs. We are all one people, Kurds, Persian, Ossetian, Zazaki, Talysh, Tati, Mazani, Gilaki, Laki, Lur, Bakhtiari , Semnani, Baluch, Pashtun, Tajik, Pamiris who all speak a varied branch of Iranian languages. Kurds are the second biggest Iranian branch, which makes them the big brother of all the other Iranians. Before the war with the Ottomans which separated what was northwestern region of Iran, splitting the Kurds, the Kurds were never a minority in Iran. Even the Safavids were originally a Kurdish clan of Zarrin-kolah of Nahavand. The British and Russians divided our lands to keep us week. It's also my wish and dream that one day we all reunite under one united land! I think the Kurds have the power to make that happen, and help create the constitution for it. If we ever get rid of mullahs (which we will) be ready to take back your lands/all of Iran.
As a Persian I'm so proud of my fellow Parsis in India
You should be proud of India who gave them refuge while you idiots converted and persecuted them to the point where now India has more Zoroastrians than their home country. What a shame.
Beautiful!!! As an Irani Zaratushti, it's heartwarming and amazes me to see how after years Parsis kept the tradition and teachings of Asho Zarathushtra alive. May Dadar Ormazd bless their community and bless India and the Indian people. Hopefully one day I will be able to visit the India Atash Behrams. Dadar Ormazd Panah bad, Dir Zivashni shad bad!🙏🏼🔥🌹

You have been one of the most peaceful , progressive and a community heard in news for good reasons..
Yes agreed with you sir/mam and that makes India a Secular country 🇮🇳 But at the same times its very strange & surprising to watch this video with a specy lady wearing white dress targeting Pope(Head of Christian-Roman Catholic religion) and stating they don't have a Central figure like Pope and she concluded its not good to have a strong dictator in any religion. If this is the case, then why Paris have been marrying other communities can she simply justify & elaborate on this aspect in what comment she's making???

newsflash: converting out of Islam is punished with *death penalty* in the "Islamic Republic of Iran". People are afraid because they know what the regime is capable of.
Iranians would convert back if they could and they are already converting *in secret:*
ruclips.net/video/aTVVb1Cxypw/видео.html
@qazwsxed Iranians are still Zoroastrian in culture and in their heart, never really cared for islam but had to fake it to survive. A lot of Iranians don't even consider themselves muslim anymore. Once we get rid of the regime things will change a lot!
Mokh7777 Iranians in my mind aren’t all Zoroastrian. They must follow the religion themselves, have a Naujote & go through the entire process that actual Zoroastrians do. It’s like being baptized into the religion. I am a Zoroastrian who lives in Canada where plenty of Irani people live & I constantly get asked if I am Persian, I will answer them with “I am Zoroastrian, which is an old Persian religion” & they will have the most confused look on their face b/c they don’t know what Zoroastrianism is, though the Fravashi is the same symbol that all Iranians use.
Kass They definitely would know what Zoroastrianism is (Mazdayasna/Zartoshti as it is referred in Persian). Perhaps they get confused when you mention you’re not from Iran or not Persian, since it’s an Iranian/Persian following. Navjote is for Parsis (Persian) Zoroastrians of India. The Iranian Zoroastrians call it Sedreh pushi. The Parsis of India also added some rules to keep their Parsi ethnicity from mixing with other Indians that does not exist amongst Iranians since they already carry the blood. What I meant is culturally Iranians/Persians’ culture still pretty much remains pre-Islamic Zoroastrian/Mithraic and still continue to carry the same traditions in all the various regions of Iran from thousands of years ago before Islam even arrived. Happy Nowruz 🌹
Parsis are indian
I want this community to survive because they are open minded and modernized. Anyone who is open minded and modernized are welcome. They are much better than conservative communities with weird practices.
Cudos to the government to try and make this community survive.
They are not open minded, since they are more educated but still they don't allow other religions to change their religion into Parsi. They believe that they are superior like Jews in all human races.
If they really kind communities then they should go ahead of their race ego.
@@fakereligion7631 you're really fool , Parsis promised to Gujarat king during 7th century that they won't allow conversion , that's why

Honestly, I feel like Parsis are so successful because of their mixed heritage, Indian and Iranian. When I compare them with Iranians in Iran, they still seem to be far more successful (for instance, in business) especially when you consider they are a tiny minority. The man in this video banging on about keeping Parsi blood pure doesn't seem to realise his DNA is almost as much Indian as it is Iranian and it is the combination of the two that has produced the results we are seeing.

what is your point ? many kings helped many peoples of different or other religions or cultures. are you bajrang dal ? if yes, get off the internent, it is not allowed for you.
abe chootiye Boom Beach- this in context with the video- Hindu king DID gve refuge- Bajrang dal didn't exist then- what is YOUR point?
actually lady is old
@@avinashagnihotri8437 I like your e-name! NICE! I'd like all of them to be free too....
They're the gems of this land, the Bharat, highly intelligent, peaceful, patriots, other communities are nothing in front of them.
Love this community. Lovely film.
It's okay but there is nothing to boast so much like they say parsi food is the best or parsi like good food....lol everyone likes good food and everyone consider their food the best.
The most musical soul ever to inhabit Earth, Freddie Mercury, was born a Parsi. Good thoughts, good words and good deeds, dear Fred....you have shown the way of God to the world with your glorious personality.
Parsis have such an impressive record of contribution
i used take tution classes from a parsi teacher in our colony...she is no more now but her memories are still afresh in my mind...probably the best teacher i have had in my life...!!
love the parsis !! ❤️❤️
Zartoast was born in south Afghanistan, about 1700 bc. When the Harappan civilization ended in 1900 bc, its influence seems to have encouraged Zoroastrian religious thoughts (similar to the Vedic purport) to have been embraced by the local community, but spread over to the west. The Vedic tradition is an extension of still older Puranic tradition of the Yadav tribe of Krishna who preached the glorious Sanatan religion of Vasudeva Vishnu.
I dont know about accuracy of what you've said but am happy to note that you have taken an interest in investigating this subject.
this is best community in India .........who's contribution is tremendous for our country ...they are so practical and adaptive people ...........
We Indians (Bhartiya), always welcomes everyone except radical ideology
Parish were respectable community,& all Indians appreciate their contribution,& we want to preserve their culture.
Great documentary...I am a Zoroastrian Parsi living in Puerto Rico. My family were in Zanzibar.
Freddy Mercury was also an Indian Zoroastrian Parsi born in Tanzania but raised in India and the UK
I love my great people & history!
I am from the Afghanistan, Long live Hindustan
Doorod ba Hindustan Bozorg wa Parsian Hindustan
I love this community. These people build India as nation
This explains why Freddie Mercury had such a wonderful sense of humor. ♥️
I hope Parsi and Zoroastrianism stays strong and grows bigger then ever in bombay and Gujarat
although Karachi is having more the 20 million population but we all can guess parsi people by their way of talking and defiantly their honesty
It was nice to know more about parsi brothers and sisters through this...every person should be a human being like parsis..
Like many coastal business communities from Zanzibar to Iran, Parsis started to come to India before the birth of Christ. Parsis and Punjabis, as a whole, became most prosperous communities in India during British rule because of their close co-operation with the British.
I have always found Parsi people the nicest and most accommodating whenever I have visited India (Mumbai)
Here in the West I worked with a couple of Parsi Managers...loved them no end!!
They were like my father and the respect etc was second to none.
Freddie Mercury's real name was Farrokh Bulsara, god bless Parsis!
Parsies 're descendents of Agnihotra Brahmans.
@David Kallenbach im happy i never liked him idk why😅
David Kallenbach. Those were different times. Probably that would not not happen now. Forgive those.
@Toonimation 🖕
@Toonimation if parsis are descandants of Brahmins so what bothering you??
We are very proud if our Parsi brothers and sisters... Their contribution towards the development of India is unmatchable.... One think which I like most about them that they are very honest and never asked for reservations though they're just in counting numbers..
Respect for all parsis....
"Most delightful narrative."
NEVILLE THANKS. ORDER OF BRITISH EMPIRE. some would say what a spelling mistake
may your community grows from 50k to 5 lakhs soon
As an Iranian my dream is you parsis one day return to your home land Iran free from black cloud of Islam that caused so much harm to us .
You can keep islam we love these people and they have contributed a lot to our nation's progress. Someone's trash is someone else's treasure😀👍
First of all clouds of Islam are becoming danger to India and Hindus than any other community in world.
As an Iranian, I deeply believe this. And addressing my dear friend who said that we should solve our problem by ourselves, I must say that the Persians living in India are also considered among us. If the Persians of India were only Indians who are Zoroastrian, their name would not be Persian anymore! Parsi is a Persian word and in its meaning it means someone who belongs to the land of Pars "Iran". The Persian Zoroastrians of India have been in India for a thousand years, but they all have Iranian names, and on the facades of their fire temples, they carve the figures of Persian soldiers of Persepolis Palace in Iran. Those male soldiers do not belong to the Zoroastrian religion, but they are Iranian soldiers. Although, being a Zoroastrian in general means being an Iranian, from where it is clearly written in the Zoroastrian Avesta book, "I praise Far Iran". (Far is a Persian word that has a great place in Zoroastrian belief and I don't know its meaning in other languages, maybe the closest meaning for Far is spirit or existence)
@@Brain_gardening well you guys could make your already present Iranian people more aware about their Zoroastrian roots, the parsis of India are to precious for us to let them go you know. Some of our best people are from this community, also they have shared almost tons of their history in India at this point of time so yeah it's not like we consider them any less than a native here. But it would be cool to see if Iran opens their door for parsis people all over the world so as to visit iran as their religious pilgrimage site.
Long live Indian ppl for letting our ppl live in India and practice there religion freely I love you guys from Iran persians are very proud you are the true Iranian who didn't turn their back on their religion and they culture I wish you guys could speak our language too that would be very beautiful
Zoroastrianism n Hinduism both have vedic roots. Ahura Mazda was Mithra n Indras brother.
@Chetan K Bachey You blame Muslims for eating Beef!! What about Horse Sacrifice Worship in your Vedanta? Read your scriptures properly. Ancient Vedic Hindus were Beef eaters.
@Truthfears Guilty actually I looked it up he is right. Indra and Mithra are brothers. I can send you the link
@@dumdumbrown4225Nope nope. Not at all. Islam does not blame anyone for not being Muslims. Islam is saying Islam is right. What is wrong in being assertive? It is extremists who misuse this.
@Punita Rathicontest?
Very honest, decent & loyal community..... Love you guys...
