Parsiana provides good, factual content. Keep up the good work. Yours is a true publication for Parsi Zoroastrians.

Just stay with your unbiased attitude! Reading Parsiana year in and year out, I find it is more informative and interesting. Shortcomings: Frankly, nothing! But if I find any shortcomings, you’ll know about it fast! RODA DARA HAKIM

Parsiana’s strengths: Fearless reporting (which can cause rancor). A softer approach laden with facts — or a win-win solution — should bring harmony to the community as a whole. M. R. KHAJOTIA

Congratulations on your 50th anniversary. The special edition was good.

Parsiana’s strengths: Your editorials and some good articles. Shortcomings: Weak, afraid of taking a strong position on religious issues lest it upset the large, regular advertisers. Good Parsis are not given cover stories; many cover stories are very poor and not relevant.
Capt JIMMY H. SARBH

Parsiana’s strengths: Giving information on Parsis or Parsi connected organizations worldwide which at times one cannot get from other sources. Shortcomings? What shortcomings? When no one — person or periodical — is free of shortcomings, why single out Parsiana? So far, so good. Thank you. FIROZE J. SIDHWA

Your strengths: Good coverage of community affairs. You also provide awareness of the community’s entrepreneurial abilities through advertisements. I feel happy that we have and are maintaining such zeal. Shortcomings: Please try your best to stay away from controversy. In fact try and introduce a tone of reconciliation, exchange and melding of ideas and beliefs, and an overall feeling of sweetness.
