Would your readers and colleagues find any merit in this proposal? Address a formal letter to the board of trustees of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) enquiring, objectively, on what the trustees propose to do with "Parsi only” properties (baugs, sanatoriums, hospitals, fire temples, etc) once the population of Parsis in Bombay falls below the number which brings about redundancy in these buildings and properties. The letter should be signed by Parsis who are prominent and respected in the domains of law, medicine, commerce and business, sports, social welfare and administration of property, as also philanthropy, charitable trusts and advanced education.
Since the board of trustees has competences in foresight not just forecast, by definition of their position, such a letter should not be read in any light other that of strategic readiness.
The BPP trustees, as the major property owner in Bombay, would be doing the city a yeoman service.
