There was poignancy in the tributes paid to Adi Doctor in the latest issue of The Parsee Voice, the newsletter of the Ilm-e-Khshnoomists, the ultra orthodox group. Doctor, a bachelor, who died recently at Bombay, was a bank official, Western music critic, a writer and speaker, a professor, and most importantly, a lifelong exponent of Ilm-e-Khshnoom (IeK). He was a vocal spokesman for the hard core traditionalists. A defeatist undertone was evident in these tributes, as Doctor’s disconsolate followers conceded that without their leader, The Parsee Voice may not survive.
