Parsiana’s reprint of Parsi Lustre On Indian Soil highlighting the achievements of Zoroastrian stalwarts is a grand testimony, illustrative of their contributions in diverse areas of human endeavor during their times.
The dismal state that we present day Zoroastrians find ourselves to be in is largely due to our having taken to basking in glories of our ancestors rather than emulating them. If a similar tome of present day success stories were to be prepared I wonder how many individuals would qualify and whether there would be even enough to fill a book.
Sadly, the present is insipid and the future scary. DINSHAW TAMBOLY
