Information on community members settled abroad is Parsiana’s strength. Shortcomings: Not in favor of orthodoxy.

It’s the only publication which reflects the hopes and aspirations of the Parsi community. We would appreciate it if Parsiana provides greater coverage of Parsi achievers in the fields of sport, engineering, medicine, law, etc.

All topics well covered, very informative. I love the calendar issue with lots of useful information. Please carry write-ups on prominent people who can influence our youngsters. Please focus more on unity and less on fights. We are in a very big mess and the community will have to pay a heavy price.

The editors reply:
With so many changes in city names it’s hard to keep track. Besides we prefer the old names. Why should we bow to the sentiments of populist politicians?

Strength: Parsipanu. Shortcomings: Involve the youth of our community in writing articles for one and all.
