Parsiana’s strengths: Interesting coverage of news on Zoroastrian community worldwide, specially the progress of the young generation. Shortcomings: Too much publicity on the Bombay Parsi Punchayet’s infighting and not covering news of other Parsi anjumans like that of Secunderabad and Hyderabad.

The editors reply:
We are well aware of this failing. We welcome news from out of Bombay.

Parsiana’s strengths: Good source of information on the community — small as it is in India and overseas. Some nice articles especially by Berjis Desai that we look forward to reading. Shortcomings: Too frequent. Once a month would be perfect and it can be a heavier publication.

Parsiana’s strengths: A fortnightly Parsi magazine for the Parsi diaspora. Shortcomings: A magazine that should cover more news/stories of happenings during the previous fortnight.

Shortcomings: Paucity of articles for children, perspective of the poorest Zarathushtis is missing, scant representation of Irani Zarthoshtis; no articles from international scholars of Zarathushtrianism.
