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 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. A summary of the causes of Bombay Doongerwadi deaths will be published in the 21st dated issues of Parsiana.
Intercommunity as well as civil marriages among Parsis registered at the Old Customs House (OCH) at Fort and at Khar for the period January to April 2016 are published in this issue. However, those names that could not be identified as Zoroastrian have been deleted from the listing.
The marriage officer at the OCH registered 20 interfaith unions and two community marriages. The Khar registers recorded 13 intercommunity and one civil marriage.
Names of those opting for cremation also find a mention here. A scanning of the registers at the Chandanwadi electric crematorium showed four Zoroastrians were cremated during the four-month period.
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. 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.
