Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Parsis through the lens of their history, rituals, customs, and religious festivals. 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. Through this comprehensive study, the book sheds light on the resilient spirit of the Parsi people, their enduring faith, and their enduring impact on the tapestry of Indian history and culture.
