A good publication capable of keeping our community united. Burning problems to be highlighted repeatedly are: disposal of the dead. All over India we have so many burial grounds and no dakhmas; there must be a change within; acceptance of interfaith marriages; girls with higher education skip their basic role of mother and housekeeper and give preference to jobs rather than producing babies, resulting in a decline in numbers.

Parsiana must work towards retaining and perpetuating Parsi culture as per its brand name. The essence of the Zoroastrian religion and its high rituals are only available and practiced by Parsis in India. Zoroastrians worldwide have lost it.
