Parsiana’s strengths: Reasonably good updates and happenings. Shortcomings: Can do with a bit of Hamazor type articles.

Factual and bold reporting, especially on the abuses of the ultra orthodox groups. Parsiana should report more on outstanding Zoroastrians in Iran, North America, India, etc especially those with non-orthodox views.

You provide world coverage of Zoroastrian happenings in an interesting and unbiased manner. Report more on achievements by Zoroastrian youth (below 40 years of age). To make a mark in India youth must be motivated to join the Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service, Indian Foreign Service, the defence services and be active in politics.

Your strengths: Community feedback and information. Shortcomings: Too much bickering against one another instead of this small community coming together.

Parsiana continues to maintain quality of content. Its well researched articles
deserve appreciation. The variety of topics covered truly keeps the readers’ interest alive. Perhaps more focus on our youth and their achievements could be added.

Strengths: Keeping all Parsis well informed. Shortcomings: None. Do not send unnecessary reminders for payment of dues. They will come when due.

Parsiana provides unbiased religious information and updates. Perhaps you could include a kids’ corner, general knowledge and competitions, puzzles and games.

Parsiana’s strengths: News from all around the world; yearly calendar; new publications. Shortcomings: Should have more news. If not then save postage and send it out every two months so there is more to read in each journal.

Parsiana’s strengths: Reporting news on the Zoroastrian community across the world. Shortcomings: Dabbling too much with Bombay Parsi Punchayet politics which is not newsworthy.
