Whither, Parsiana?
I seriously think you should change the name of your publication from Parsiana to Zorashtriana. You have completely forgotten Parsis as a community.

The editors reply
The community features prominently in the magazine. What we oppose is the racial and gender discrimination that is practiced by many Parsis. We have to oppose that bigotry, not run away from it. Zoroastrianism exhorts one to fight evil.

I applaud the editorial response. With the racial-gender bigotry that the Parsi community has adopted, it has abandoned the fundamental creed of the Zarathushtrian faith...Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds.
