ARMIN D. KALYANIWALLA
Parsiana’s strengths: The only reliable Parsi publication in India. Shortcomings: Do publish an occasional piece on something of general interest.
KHORSHED RUSTOM JAVERI
The editors reply:
As we are always pressured for space, we restrict coverage to community news and events. But some of the content is of a general nature.
Parsiana’s strengths: International coverage. Shortcomings: Editorial interference by way of imbalanced articles. Also please ensure all issues are posted and received in time. Maintain independent journalistic stance. YEZDI P. F. PANTHAKI
The editors reply:
All issues to subscribers in India are mailed on the 7/8 and 21/22 of each month. The delays in delivery are due to the postal authorities.
Parsiana’s strengths: I enjoy your articles on Zoroastrians abroad; one learns even at this age. Shortcomings: Makes no difference to the thick skinned politicians of our society. It is like water off a duck’s back.
FRAINEY HOSHIE PARELWALLA

Parsiana’s strengths: Interesting to read about what is happening among the Parsi community. Shortcomings: Too much news and happenings about Bombay. Other anjumans all over India have little or no coverage. VEERA PATEL
New Delhi
The editors reply:
Being Bombay based, it’s easier to cover news in the city. We welcome any news from other places in India and abroad.
Parsiana’s strengths: Superlative, in-depth, fearless, fairly accurate reporting and informative articles. We anxiously await every issue, every page of which is read with interest and pleasure. Shortcomings: None that I can think of.
