I understand that in Iraqi Kurdistan Zoroastrian is recognized as an official religion in addition to Islam, Christianity and others.

Contrary to what Mr. Badri states, at least some of us Indian Parsi Zoroastrians would very much like to read about non Parsi Zoroastrians, especially the way the religion is practiced and the culture and customs followed in these countries. Hope Parsiana considers covering these, though I understand the difficulties in getting information from places such as Kurdistan or Tajikistan

I refer to the Asia times interesting article titled Zoroastrians: Iran's forgotten minority dated 17/10/2020. Would welcome if Parsiana publishes once in a while news about non Parsi Zoroastrians living in places such as Tajikistan, Kurdistan, Sweden, Russia and other places although most Parsi Zoroastrians living in India would not welcome publishing of such news. An international Satellite TV showed a Kurd's Zoroastrian temple in Sweden and Iraqi Kurdistan which was quite interesting. The Parsi and Iranian Zoroastrian population keep on dwindling due to late marriages, no marriage, no children,divorces, inter marriages, conversion to other faiths specially Islam in places like Iran,etc in sharp contrast to the increase in Non Parsi Zoroastrian population in countries mentioned above. At the rate the Parsi Zoroastrian population is decreasing one wonders how many will remain in the coming decade.
