Synopsis

The Parsis: A concise history of a long-traveled community This edition presents D. Menant’s study of the Parsis, a small, historic community spread from Bombay to parts of Persia. It highlights their origins, daily life, and the religious and social forces that shaped them, including a translation partial in the hands of Miss Ratanbai Ardeshir Vakil.

In clear, approachable prose, the book traces the Parsis from ancient Persia to their Indian diaspora, with careful attention to geography, customs, and the evolving Zoroastrian tradition. It covers how communities in Yezd and Kirman grew, welcomed trade networks, and faced internal divisions over ritual reform and dates, including the Kadmi and Shahanshahi lineages.

What you’ll experience
- A survey of Parsis origins, diaspora, and key historical anchors
- Insights into Yezd and Kirman and their role in Parsi life
- An overview of religious sects and reforms that shaped the community
- Profiles of important figures and the flow of ideas between India and Persia

Ideal for readers of religion, Middle Eastern history, and cultural studies who want a compact, accessible introduction to the Parsis and their long journey.
