"Men in May"

I was surprised and even amused to read the opening line "All Parsis are not Zoroastrians" in The editors reply to the letter "Men in May" (Readers’ Forum, Parsiana, August 21, 2018).

I always thought that Parsis are staunch about being ‘born’ a Parsi and somewhat cocky about Parsipanu. Who then are those who have sneaked in and are also being counted? Please educate me!

The editors reply

As stated, several Parsis follow other religions and beliefs. They may or may not also follow Zoroastrianism.
