In order to publish more current Milestones information Parsiana will carry the names of the deceased from the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) website bpppaidust.in and of those cremated and/or whose funerary ceremonies were performed at the new Worli Prayer Hall. The names of those cremated are sent to us by Prayer Hall coordinator Ervad Framroze Mirza, by e-mail.
The last few names of those deceased in end September 2016 find mention here as well as those who passed away till October 11.
There were 50 Zoroastrians consigned to Bombay’s Doongerwadi in September 2016. Births recorded at one south Bombay hospital were five. Eleven of the 21 victims who perished due to various diseases of the heart were over 80 years. The other killers were: pneumonia/lung disease (nine), cancer (five) and Parkinson’s disease, diabetes and kidney failure (two each). Brain disease, head injury, dementia, dengue, urosepsis, septicemia, anemia, leukemia and cachexia (a state of constitutional disorder, malnutrition and general ill health) felled one Zoroastrian each. Forty-one and 98 were the youngest and eldest ages at death. The mean age at death of Zoroastrians for September 2016 in Bombay was 79 years.
The data on births, marriages and deaths has been compiled from information supplied by various newsletters and anjumans in India and abroad, courts and hospitals. This information is not always complete or consistent: we are unable to carry data from areas where the anjumans do not furnish the particulars; the birth figures for Bombay are supplied by one hospital — births in suburban hospitals and private nursing homes are not included unless individuals send us information together with a copy of the birth certificate. There may be an inadvertent repetition of names in the marriage list when a civil marriage precedes a religious ceremony. The names of the deceased alongwith their ages, addesses and causes of deaths are forwarded to Parsiana by the BPP. The trust however notes that the information has not been verified or authenticated by them. In the break-up of deaths according to illnesses, especially of the elderly, death is often due to a combination of several diseases.
If readers have any births/ marriages/deaths they would like published, some proof to ensure the veracity of the report would be required. We are sure our readers would appreciate this requirement and cooperate with us.
