COMMENT
PILGRIM’S
PROGRESS
The newly formed Zor^trian
Association of Metropolitan Wash
ington (ZAMW> wishes to establish
an Atash Dadga, if not a full-fledged
agiary in the North Amwican capital
city of Washington D.C. Adi Daver,
president of the ZAMW and
Dinshaw Joshi, both senior officials
of the World Bank in W ashington,
were in Bombay some months ago
and explored the possibility of
raising funds for such a project. They
ate a\so the pofisWaUity
of taking an atash from India to
Washington if an Agiary or Atash-
Dadgar were to donate it mid some
funds. A donation of Rs 20,000
from the Bombay Farsi Panchayat,
says IXaver, has been the first
favourable response towards the
establishment of a fire-temple in
the West. Below the ZAMW tells
its story.
This is the story of hope for a new
beginning and of a determination to
survive. It is a story, where with hope
and determination, the quest' for the
survival of our Zoroastrian faith, will
succeed.
The story began some 50 years ago,
when some Zoroastrians from India,
Iran, Burma and Pakistan, began to
settle in England and later, in Canada
and the USA. Since then, sizeable Zo
roastrian communities have grown
there.!
These settlers initially clustered
around Toronto, Chicago and New
York. However, more recently, new
ones have been settling around Wa
shington D.C., the capital of the USA,
and in the adjacent states of Madland,
Virginia, Delaware, West Virginia and
the Carolinas.
With the recent sizeable number of
emigrants from Iran, the ZoroastriaM
is its determination to plant the Zoro
astrian faith into the new alien soil of ------------- , - .
their homeland, and with love, devo- astrian Association of Metropolitan
tion and determination — tb nurture Washington. A simple, but tor-sighted,
constitution and by-laws were adopted,
at a large community meeting. The
community elected a dynamic Board
of Trustees, to govern its affairs. A
staunch Zarathushti like Nani Palkhi
vala, eminent jurist and India’s former
Ambassador to the U.S.A., became its
Patron Member. To institutionalize
the Association, the Trustees have ini
tiated the practice of producing an An
nual Report and Accounts, which are
luis uKAumuxv pwv.., discussed and approved at an Annual
other religious communities like the Meeting. To foster in-depth manage-
— ' - - - — ' ment ability for directing the commu
nity’s affairs and produce future com
munity leaders, the Trustees have con
sciously organized some members hav
ing such potential, into a Religious/
Cultural Mucation Committee and a
Social Committee. These Committees >
now organize the activities of the As
sociation, with policy guidance pro
vided by the Trustees.
The former Committee has organiz
ed a series of monthly talks and semi
nars, designed to provide a basic
knowledge not only of the religion, but
also a clear awareness of Zoroastrian
heritage, history and values. This com
bined approach is so necessary for
those living in the US “melting pot”.
that plant — into a strong tree which
can flourish for generations.
The pressures against which these
Zoroastrians, as indeed similar settlers,
have to contend, are formidable. The
USA is not known as “the melting pot
Of cultures”, without cause. The Ame
rican culture exerts a subtle but power
ful force, which melts any culture over
time, and melds it with others into
something distinctly American.
Despite this inexorable process,
Jews, Sikhs, Moslems and Hindus
have still been able to retain their res
pective faiths, while they are Ameri-
in. ail respects. Can. their ap
proach offer an object lesson which a
young Zoroastrian community like the
one around Washington can emulate,
and succeed in its quest to ensure the
survival of the Zoroastrian faith in
that area?
The leaders of these religious com
munities in North America, sought and
obtained the financial support of those
still in their home countries, to build
an environment and infrastructural
facilities designed to ensure the survi
val of their faith. However small the
numbers, these facilities were built, . - -
with a determined sense df purpose.
When the preservation of one’s faith se^e their religious identity and be-
and identity is concerned, costs can being, at the same time, a
hardly be measured in economic terms. American society.
— - - - - To ensure the attendance of the
young, despite large distances in the
Metropolrtah Washington area, a uni
que approach of having talks on the
same topic, for the young as well as
the parents who bring them, was suc
cesstolly tried. At least 50 persons re
gularly attend them. In addition, talks
by visiting dasfturjis or eminent Zoro
astrians, have been frequently arrang
ed. These have consistently attract^
substantially larger audiences. A libra-
serve their religious identity and be-
The indispensible facility which
these religious communities built as
soon as possible after settling, was a
centre, and ultimately, a place of wor
ship. It served as the focal point for
community gatherings, learning more
about their faith and acquiring a sense
of cohesiveness and belonging. It is
not surprising that this approach work
ed so well for them. If we think back,
we will also recall that a “feeling”
about our faith was kindled in us, - - —
when our parents took us as children literature on Zorc^stnan themes,
to social and religious gatherings of being gradually built. Its meagre
the community, as well as to Atash- collection, is already very much in
Behrams and Agiaries. That feeling demand. An ^elementary bo^ on reli-
was then ignited easily into a flame, as ” ——-
we grew older and comprehended the
basic tenets of our Prophet’s teachings.
That is what the community around
Washington now needs urgently, ip its
quest to perpetuate the Zbroastrian
faith in that area. They have the neces
sary zeal and determination. However,
their zeal will not be sufficient, unless
it is firmly buttressed by a minimal in-
frastructufe, just like other religious
communities have built in America.

estimated at over 400. Until the early
’70s, the number was no more than 30.
The increase took place around 1975,
and especially after 1978.
Since the Washington community is
so young, it is not affluent, unlike
some of die established ones in North
America. All are struggling to estab

now call home.

being encouraged to attend such talks

The phased project will involve con

square feet, for the whole Centre. In
clusive of a Trust, from whose income
full-time mobeds would be paid decent
monthly salaries, the total cost is
roughly estimated to be around US

Zoroastrians in the Washington area
are new settlers struggling to establish
themselves, they can hardly make a
dent in meeting this cost, despite dig
