Very clean and non-political reporting. Pleasure to read this magazine. This is one publication I read from beginning to end.

Parsiana is truly an aina (mirror) for the Parsi community as it covers global Parsi news. It is a pleasure to read about current happenings in our community as also about the past glory of our ancestors and their good deeds. Parsiana should also publish more translations of religious texts to help the youngsters know more about our radiant religion.

Parsiana prints a good mix of current news concerning the community and helps those who stay outside Bombay to keep in touch with current situations in our small Parsi/Zoroastrian family.

With the two sister Parsi weeklies functioning under the management of a vested group of the community, there is little transparency left in the working of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet. Parsiana must be careful of a hostile takeover and fight for the right of the community at large. After the present editor, who? PERVEZ K. AVARI

More pertinent to enquire how long Parsiana can be sustained in a community whose numbers are declining so precipitously!
Excellent coverage on Zoroastrians. Would appreciate if you cover Parsis and events in the rest of India too. Also, would it be possible to obtain information on Parsis in Pakistan and their activities?

I look forward to receiving copies of Parsiana. It keeps me informed about community affairs in India and abroad. I also appreciate its liberal and rational approach when dealing with sensitive issues agitating our minuscule community. It is commendable that you also allow dissident voices to be heard/opinions to be expressed. ABAN MUKHERJI
I always look forward to Parsiana. It gives me great pleasure to read it. It covers different subjects and provides varied information and new ideas. We should be proud that we have such a community magazine that gives us facts and figures. PERVIZ NALLADARU

Subjectivity in reportage is a travesty to the well-being of any community. Thankfully Parsiana maintains laudable standards of objectivity, when biased and motivated reporting is more the norm than the exception. Maj Gen SOLI N. PAVRI (Retd)
