Excellent.

DARA DARABSHAH ARIA

A very good, informative magazine. Shortcomings: None.

ASPY N. BHARUCHA

I notice Parsiana is more reformist. Our orthodoxy has sustained us for centuries. Let us not disintegrate. Give more coverage to the achievements of youth as Parsi Times is doing. In 2013, please give full coverage to Maneckji L. Hataria, if not found unsuitable!

TEHMTAN M. DAVAR

Bombay

Parsiana’s strengths: The ability to keep all Zoroastrians connected. Your shortcomings: Publishing articles of people who have a bias against freedom of thought of others!

B. D. DOCTOR

Poona

To focus on community related topics and to increase knowledge regarding global community affairs with excellent articles regarding our precious heritage and current happenings are your strengths. Please give more articles on religious knowledge without being dogmatic about the same.

NILOUFER H. ELAVIA

Parsiana’s strengths: Excellent paper quality and equally excellent printing. Shortcomings: Possibly lack of efforts to reach many more Parsi families in Bombay.

Good coverage.

FRENY R. GANDHI

Covers all Zoroastrian activities, worldwide.

JAL G. GANDHI

Coverage of community issues. But there is not enough space to cover everything.

Dr KETAYUN H. GOULD

Stafford, Virginia, USA

Parsiana covers gatherings of Parsi Zoroastrians all around the world. It is a well made and published magazine. Love the yearly calendar. There are no shortcomings.

Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Parsiana gives the correct picture of the current happenings across the world in the Zoroastrian community.

OORVAKSH RASHID MEDORA

Ahmedabad

Parsiana’s strengths: Wide coverage of Parsi/Zoroastrian issues and events. Shortcomings: Nothing on the lighter side (poems, short stories, humor, cartoons).

J. J. MISTRY

I perceive as Parsiana’s strength its straightforward and bold approach to current affairs in the community.
