Parsis proud of the their Pakistani identity - BBCURDU

[Zibago]

The biggest reason for dwindling population is not the gays. That is ignorant and absurd comment. It is with success. Women tend to be highly educated. They have careers. Late marriages and less kids.

Their stats are similar to other Pakistanis of similar education level,lifestyle and economic standing its just that their religion makes them stand out

Is there a Parsi community in Pakistan?! Cool! I didn't know about this one. I knew that there's a Parsi community in India but this one is really a surprise to me.

As of 2017 there are 3723 parsis as registered voters, from that we can get idea that their overall population is around 7 thousand in Pakistan. Or maybe 5-6 thousand considering they likely have less kids.

I like Parsis community. They are patriotic, educated and well behaved who are contributing positively for their homeland - Pakistan.

Best wishes to my Pakistani Parsi brethren. May you forever prosper and grow in this nation. Ameen.

Bohris are Gujarati Brahmins who embraced Islam.

Many are still fluent in Gujarati especially in Karachi where there is a sizable Muslim Gujarati community. Even a number of newspapers are published.

For your interest, the head of the AWACS programme for the Air Force is a Parsi.

Yup. As long as Gujarati papers are published, the language lives.

Gujarati is also important because all our texts' oldest and most phonetic transcriptions are in Gujarati.

Cheers, Doc

Really nice.

Proximity wise(to their homeland) perhaps Parsis in Pakistan feel more at home than those in India.

Racially as well. As you move across the Indus.

Food-wise definitely.

Cheers, Doc

So proud of him.

The only conversation I had with cowasjee involved some reference to military and lots of "sala"

Bro atash parast is a derogatory term used by Arabs for the then still stubbornly Zoroastrian Persians. Which is used till today in a derogatory manner for those they could not conquer spiritually.

Different man.

Bohra community are Muslims of Yemeni origin I believe).

Their Gujarati is like Hindu Gujarati. More guttural.

They are not being driven out they are leaving out of their own free will just like other well off Pakistanis
