I have been loyal subscriber of Parsiana for over 18 years. I must say that in those earlier years your publication was considered very enlightening and unbiased. I always looked forward to receiving the current issue. The views expressed were well balanced and in fact provided some very interesting religious articles as well as interesting news regarding the Zoroastrian community the world over, both liberal as well as orthodox.
If you would check your records you would observe that often, as and when feasible, I gave advertisements for my company. I also subscribed on behalf of my sister for quite some years. All this I did as I wanted to encourage your magazine and help as much as I could and in every possible way to see it grow and flourish as the community has very limited fair and unbiased press exposure.
Of late I have been observing a steady decline in the standard of news items and reports as they all seem to be biased against the tenets of Zoroastrianism and are clearly tilted towards liberalization and modern ideas. While this approach may have been welcomed by some liberals, let me assure you that it has deeply hurt the feelings and sentiments of a large section of the community.
A single incident or a few incidents which may not be in line with your thinking should not be the reason for a major shift in your editorial policy, which should remain rigidly unbiased and non-partisan under any and all circumstances.
There are no problems which are insurmountable. The main ingredients required are sincerity, tolerance, honesty and most importantly the will to bring peace and harmony within the community. We sincerely hope you consider this very carefully and not disappoint us.
