We feel guilty, ashamed to receive such a marvelous magazine at a throwaway price of Rs 700 per annum. Parsiana has superb coverage, unmatched printing. Kudos to your entire hardworking staff. Thank you, Parsiana. There are no shortcomings whatsoever.

Parsiana’s strengths: Good coverage of news, information regarding Parsis and Zoroastrians all over the world. There is impartial and forceful reporting of all matters concerning the community.

Errata
In the Editorial Viewpoint "Rating the Congress” (Parsiana, January 7, 2014) we had mentioned that Vice President of India Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah had inaugurated a World Congress in Bombay. Hidayatullah had spoken at the 300th anniversary celebrations of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) on November 7, 1981. Parsiana is grateful to Homai Modi who has assisted in the management of several World Congresses in Bombay for pointing out the error.
In "Antiquity and authority — III” (Parsiana, January 21, 2014) we had erroneously mentioned that Ardeshir Cursetji Wadia was the first Parsi to visit the USA in 1949. The year should read as 1849. Parsiana regrets the error.
