Adoption by Parsis

Fanatical Parsis seem to be opposed to adoption in their mistaken belief in the myth of racial purity. Though a 100% educated community, our views are often archaic and 200 years behind the times.
Zoroastrianism is a universal religion intended for all mankind, as emphasized in the Gathas. So, who is right: the Gathas or the fanatics? BEHRAM T. DASTUR

  • Very well stated Mr. Behram T. Dastur! Our community is certainly 100% LITERATE. I hesitate to use the word EDUCATED as it implies the ability to distinguish between facts and fiction!
