Inadequate funds and personnel prevent us from doing so.

Parsiana’s strengths: Giving news about the community, its achievements and problems. Dr MAHTAB S. BAMJI
Hyderabad

Parsiana’s strengths: Unbiased coverage of all major Zoroastrian events and not creating controversies. Shortcomings: The community’s future depends on the youth. Articles showcasing the achievements of those below 40 years of age as well as career opportunities will help in revitalizing the future.
ARMAITY H. BHABHA

Parsiana’s shortcomings: Please don’t cover only seminars and meetings held in India and abroad. Publish some Zoroastrian history as well to make the magazine interesting for the younger generation of readers in India and abroad.
MINOO DARABSHAW DAMANIA

Parsiana’s strengths: Good coverage of community events. Shortcomings: Not responding to our unique achievement of visiting all the atash behrams, agiaries and dadgahs in India at one go. We returned to our homes after 33 days only after completing the pilgrimage.

Our apologies for the oversight.

Parsiana’s strengths: Great way of keeping in touch with everything mad, sad and good going on within our crazy but wonderful community! Shortcomings: Nothing, really. PERIN JESSIA

Parsiana’s strengths: Balanced, unbiased and progressive presentation of facts and situations. Shortcomings: Lack of articles and write-ups on Parsi Zoroastrian community/persons by non-Parsi Zoroastrians. KAVAS KAPADIA
Delhi

Parsiana’s strengths: Coverage, relevance and fairness. A bastion in the need to reform the community before it becomes an endangered species. Shortcomings: I would not use the word "shortcomings.” Rather, can Parsiana do more towards opening the minds of Parsis to see the dangers of becoming redundant? N. D. KHURODY
