About This Book

The work recounts the historical roots of Zoroastrian communities, outlining their ancient Persian background, imperial eras, and the Arab conquests that prompted migration to western India. It narrates the exodus and subsequent dispersal while also describing those who remained in Persia. Detailed chapters combine historical narrative with ethnographic description of population distribution, clothing, social usages, festivals, and ritual practice. The text balances documentary history and cultural observation, showing how a minority tradition has preserved core beliefs while adapting to new environments. A prefatory note explains that part of the English rendering was contributed by a Parsi woman.
