These GUJRATI SPEAKING PEOPLE of Bombay and Karachi are usually called PARSIS, whereas they are not PARSIS. Factually they are ZOROASTRIANS. Followers of the PREACHER of the most ancient MONOTHEISTIC RELIGION “ZOROASTIANISM” Their last place wherein they lived in extensive number was PARS province of present IRAN. The RULING CLASS changed its original IDENTITY that’s “ PERSIA. Since the FARAS was invaded by ARABS so they changed its name from FARAS to IRAN. Theirs perspective was based on two (2) factors that are ONE to identify them as ARIANS belonging to ARAN TRIBES, whereas they are not ARIANS at all the NUCLEUS of ARIANS that’s BACTRIA the significant CRNTER of ARIANS all its territorial limitations are historically called ARIANA. The land of ARIANS. Later it changed as KHORASAN the LAND OF RISING “SUN”. It literally connected to the ancient religion of MANKIND the ZOROASTRIANISM its preaching SAGA was ZOROAST. That’s also called ZORDASHT or ZORTASHT in BACTRIAN dialect. Reason; SUN is seen YELLOW in COLOUR. The ZOROASTRIANS never pray the SUN, their perspective is THE SUN is representative of LIGHT. And of course LIGHT is opposite to darkness. And so the ZOROASTRIN. call the LIGHT as YAZDAN the GOD the CREATOR and darkness that’s SATAN the EVIL . Whereas the ZOROASTRIANS have proved in letter and spirit that they are the TRUE GENIAN followers of YAZDAN obeying all the RELIGIOUS COMMANDMENTS of YAZDAN conveyed by their PROPHET namely ZOROAST of BACTRIA the Great ARIANA the present AFGHANISTAN, NO ONE can see a single case of Cr PC code through out BHARAT & PAKISTAN. All the cases if any pertaining to ZOROASTRIANS COMMUNITY are related to CPC ( CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE.) None of the cases in any of THANA(Police Station)! of BHRAT and PAKISTAN including Sri Lanka or in any POLICE STATION of the WORLD. That’s unacceptable unbelievable but it’s FACT/ TRUTH. Salute to ZOROASTRIANS their PARENTS . This is called CIVILITY/ CIVIC SENSE. Congratulations.
