Parsiana’s strengths: Very interesting and informative reading on matters pertaining to our community in India and abroad. DADI S. DALAL
Madras
Parsiana’s strengths: I feel Parsiana forms an integral part of our community. By publishing information, past and present, it keeps us all updated on current affairs, opinions and achievements of Parsis, not only in India but from all over the world. This way we feel close to each other and proud of our high achievers even though we have never seen them. Parsiana generates a close-knit family feeling amongst us. Keep up the good work!

Parsiana’s strengths: Great to see coverage of issues of national importance such as Kobad Ghandy’s detention, which even the mainstream media hardly mention. PERVIN MAHONEY
The editors reply:
Some of the national media does cover news developments on Ghandy’s case.
Parsiana’s strengths: Credit for unbiased reporting. Shortcomings: Most of the news is about Bombay and abroad. Should include what is happening in the rest of India. I had mentioned this last year as well. VEERA PATEL
