Your strengths are: Truthful reporting without bias; wide coverage of the global community; and attractive front pages. There are no shortcomings.

Parsiana provides wide coverage of news of our community.

ASPI A. DAVIERWALLA

Bombay

No strength for Parsiana or the community till reality is accepted and the majority decides to really act and do some good for the community. Its shortcoming is the strength of the opposition.

KERSI DHONDY

Poona

Good coverage of current events.

RUSTOM JAL HAVEWALA

Bombay

Parsiana is growing in strength every year and I wish you all the best for the coming year. "Meals for mah Bahman” in the June 7, 2011 issue was appreciated. Please publish more Parsi dishes for our community.

BOMMY J. ITALIA

Hyderabad

Please report Parsi events and news from small towns also. Do not publish news limited to the Bombay Parsi Punchayet alone.

DINYAR NAVROZ JALNAWALLA

Poona

Parsiana is about a close knit community and its news.

KERCY N. KARANJAWALA

Poona

Your strength lies in your sustained endeavor to deliver the best. No shortcomings.

KETAYUN F. KHATAO

Devlali

Your strength: Persistence in the face of overwhelming odds. Shortcomings: Lacking in-depth articles which focus on analysis and history rather than just reporting on Parsi politics.

N. D. KHURODY

Bombay

You provide a lot of knowledge about community matters.

SOHRAB R. KOTWAL

Bombay

Good reportage and coverage. There must be some shortcomings but I can’t think of them right now. Maybe you should work more on forward-looking people, rather than the ultra holier-than-thou types.

NURGES MADAN

Poona

Your strengths are free and frank reporting; no partiality; very authentic news; no mud-slinging. Keep up the good work. No shortcomings, you are doing very well.

KHUSHROO FALI MADON

Bombay

Excellent global coverage of all issues concerning the community.

X. K. MARKER

Bombay

Parsiana’s strength is balanced articles. You need to publish more scholastic, religious articles.

PORUS MASTER

Bombay

In spite of being a reformist magazine Parsiana’s strength lies in its forceful articles against so-called religious scholars, and the community needs you to carry on... I have not come across any shortcomings in Parsiana as such. But frankly speaking there should be more articles by people to make the magazine stronger.
