Parsiana’s strengths: Parsi owned. Shortcomings: More stress on Zoroastrians rather than on Parsi Zarathushtis.

Parsiana’s strengths: Very good and comprehensive coverage of all community matters. Shortcomings: The time lapse between receipt and publication of letters must be reduced so that references to published articles or letter do not lose their relevance.

The editors reply:
Our apologies for the lacuna. Since we are Bombay based and possess limited resources we have to rely on our loyal independent journalists, newsletters as well as on concerned community members elsewhere to send us stories. Readers are welcome to send us any news for publication.

Parsiana’s strengths: Good information of worldwide Parsi/Zoroastrian events. Your magazine is enjoyed by young and old. Thank you. Shortcomings: A little more information by way of old period history by community scholars should be included as the average person in the diaspora is pretty unaware.

Parsiana’s strengths: Wide acceptability. Shortcomings: How about encouraging a little bit of Gujarati?
NAVROZE B. KANGA

Parsiana’s strengths: News from around the world. Variety of topics covered. Shortcomings: Need to have a section for young children such as stories from Shahnameh, and the religious rituals for them to understand. MINOO KAPADIA
