As an Indian Zoroastrian it is truly an eye opener for me how much small pockets of Zoroastrians all over the world are doing to bring the faith back. I think like all old faiths we have become mired by conservatism in India and need a serious kick up our behinds. It would be a real...

Abii here is a link to the Zoroastrian Society of Ontario with contact details and phone numbers. Zoroastrian Society of Ontario - POA EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION Apparently they have 5000 Zoroastrians registered with them (not bad). They also claim the Zoroastrian population of the world in the...

You are my hero. Bar none! What a player. (where is the genuflecting icon?) :cheers:

LOL there goes my lunch. Newton's third law.

U tube, FB, etc are blocked at work here bro. Can you post a screenshot or something? Exactly. China is the only Chinese nation in the world. India is the only Hindu nation in the world. Not saying we are superpowers. Just pointing out that the world respects a people with roots a...

The day your national flag truly becomes this, is the day Iran arrives as a true global power backed by over 5000 years of heritage, history and culture, and comfortable in its true identity. In fact, proud of it. Please remember, this is one thing we have which the West never has an answer...

Fair question. During the days of the Shah, there was actually a program of getting many educated Parsi professionals from India to settle in Iran. Then your mullas came and it was status quo of the past 1400 years all over again. I know I cannot speak for all Parsi but if you ask me...

See this is something most of us here in India do not know. Till I read it here I was under the impression that the only place the Faravahr could be seen openly in Iran was on the rocky ruins of Persepolis and some old texts/National Geographic.

It is your past as well as who you are. And will always be. The Bahais are Zoroastrian. We have them here as well. Many in fact. Abii Zoroastrianism is very very old brother. We have seen it all done it all and we are still here. I repeat. You are born a Zoroastrian. It is already in you...

Mainly that most of you hate the religion (pagan, backward, etc.) but only are reverting to the symbols as part of nationalism in the face of the pressure being applied by the West plus to spit in the eye of the Arabs and the mullas. Abii this has got to be one of the best and most from the...

We will always be against conversion. It is part of who we are. The days of the great prophets are over and we believe only they had the right to spread the word and the faith. Once done, the bloodlines are sealed. Most of us (over 95% I would say) do not see Muslim Persians once again...

Abii, listen carefully to what I say here, because I may or may not get the chance of telling you this again. Zoroastrianism does not belong to Parsi priests and Mobeds and Dastoors. It belongs to and is the birthright of Zoroastrians. All Persians are Zoroastrians first, regardless of what...

Of course there is a Holy Book brother. It belongs to you as much as to me. Its the Pak Khordeh Avesta. Most of the Indian translations were initially into Gujarati, and now there are English ones to. Please Google for Khojeste Mistry. He is one of the leading experts on the faith and...

Practitioners of both Islam as well as Zoroastrianism are pretty religious people. Of course how they think about their faith and that of others may be different, but they are both religious from what I have seen. In such a scenario, the purple slice says a whole lot more than either the green...

Sure, I agree. :tup: But we'll keep that too.

Please paste photos of esmer with cat eyes for the rest of us. Its been a hard day.

Yes buddy, from my dad's side. Mom is Iranian Zoroastrian.

No we Parsis are pretty white ourselves. I can roll up my sleeves and show you perfectly well demarcated bikini tan lines! :P

You are most welcome.

There is no use beating around the bush and trying to defend something which is seen by the whole world as the symbol of female oppression in the modern world. A symbol which has made a significant contribution to the way the world looks at you people, as it stands for all that is rigid and...
