Parsiana is indeed very informative as well as quite creative. You have a rich treasure/but you are ultra mod, beyond measure./This propaganda is not a pleasure/for it will lead to our demise/erasure.

Parsiana has unbiased reporting on a wide range of subjects relevant to Parsi Zoroastrians and others.
JAL RATANSHAW PATEL
Baroda
Parsiana’s strengths: Fair, unbiased reporting; wide coverage of community issues; excellent editorials. Shortcomings: Paucity of articles; no coverage of issues of national and global relevance.
MALCOLM R. PRINTER
Parsiana’s strengths: Very well brought out, including a host of information about our community and religion worldwide. Shortcomings: Nil.
Col SOHRAB K. PUDUMJEE
Poona
Parsiana’s strengths: Its objectivity and a desire to change a community caught in a time warp. Please write more on the progressive priests. Shortcomings: None.
NAZ SIDDIQI
Goa
Parsiana’s strengths: News of Parsis around the world as well as historical items. Shortcomings: Unnecessary news of bickering among Bombay’s Parsis. Make readers more forcefully aware that there will be no Parsi Zoroastrians around in 50-60 years if the present religious rules continue for much longer. JAMSHED R. TATA
London, UK
Parsiana’s strengths: Accurate reporting of community matters, nationally and internationally. Shortcomings: The magazine is devoid of humor (except for the Bombay Parsi Punchayet trustees’ comments about each other!). Please think of at least one page of jokes about bawajis!
SHAPOOR D. TOORKEY
Secunderabad
Parsiana’s strengths: Honest and complete coverage on diversified subjects. Shortcomings: None.
