Your magazine gives news of Parsis from different corners of the world. Makes interesting reading. Shortcomings: None whatsoever. I look forward to each issue.

Parsiana gives global coverage of the community — good and bad.

Parsiana provides balanced reporting and editorials.

JANGOO DALAL

Bombay

You provide good worldwide coverage of events relating to the Parsi/Irani Zarthoshtis, but need to concentrate more on religious topics.

Dr NOZAR R. DARUWALA

Ahmedabad

Parsiana gives unbiased factual data.

Dr PILLOO P. HAKIM

Bombay

Parsiana is a bonding for the Zoroastrian community. You should get children to contribute by creating a section for them.

BOMMY J. ITALIA

Hyderabad

Vast coverage of Zoroastrian news, encompassing all and varied regions of the world. Shortcomings: Rather conservative.

Air Vice Marshal (Retd) E. S. LALA

Secunderabad

Parsiana reports Parsi news from all over in non-partisan way. Shortcomings: None that I can think of at the moment.

NURGES MADAN

Poona

Parsiana provides good coverage of the community, with recognition of successful members. It is forward thinking with good, practical values.

SHAROOK C. J. MUNSIFF

Bombay

Parsiana’s strengths are insightful reporting, broad coverage and international stories. It is unsparing of errant officials. Shortcomings: Not enough reporters/contributors.

MALCOLM R. PRINTER

Bombay

Yours is the only magazine which publishes important issues pertaining to the Parsi Zoroastrian community.

BEHRAM R. SETHNA

Bombay

Strengths: Very informative about our community. Shortcomings: Parsiana must stop bickering about the Bombay Parsi Punchayet. It sounds like Congress vs Bharatiya Janta Party and vice versa. We are so few in number. Can’t we spend our energies on expressing love for one another?

GODREJ SORABJI

Bombay

Strengths: Unbiased reporting, progressive outlook, excellent editorials. Shortcomings: None
