It was wonderful to know there are so many Parsis in Switzerland. Through this comment I request Khushnum Aibara to spread the word among the Parsis in Switzerland that I am conducting a pilot survey of Zoroastrians world-wide known as the Reforth Index Survey. I would like the Zoroastrians of Switzerland to participate in large numbers. The survey involves a short form of 20 statements to which one has to assign numbers from 1 to 5, depending one's opinion on each statement -- 1 for Strongly Disagree, 2 for Disagree, 3 for No Opinion, 4 for Agree and 5 for Strongly Agree. There is no "right" or "wrong" response. I just want your personal opinions. It takes only 15 minutes to fill out the form which can be requested in either Excel or Word format. Information requested is for statistical analysis only -- no personal information will be revealed. Full instructions are on the form itself. Please send requests for form to me, Dr. Jamshed Modi, on modi.jamshed@gmail.com. Many thanks.
