The Parsees are Mordern in outlook but they are still not that mordern when it comes to religion. There is nothing wrong in Marrying outside the fold, but it helps the community to grow & also it helps in giving birth to a very healthy child. Most of the cildern born to Parsees couples are not that healthy & most of them are not in sound mind. If we want the Parsees to increase their Populations than i think it is the best way to get into a wedlock with intercaste marriages, in this way the childern born will be healthy & with a very sound mind. I appeal to the so called Narrow minded Parsees & their so called Decent Trustees to allow the Childern born out of inter caste marriages be taken into the Parsees fold & see from the progressive point of view that the community which is on the brink of geting collaspe & a time will come when there will be a parsee family in the world museaum with a saying that "Once a upon Time there was a Race called The Mad Parsees." I do hope that the trustees see the writing on the walls & try to Accept those Childern born out of inter caste marriages into the Parsees Fold. Hope that the so called Larened Parsees comes out of dep slumber & Accept the fact that there is no Harm in marrying outside the fold. One more thing i would like to advise the so called learned parsees that if you go to look deep into the Parsees History than you will come out of deep slumber It si written in the History that Our parsee kings were having wives from the Different Faiths & their childern born out of the non Parsees wives were also Accepted into the Parsees fold, then why this Discrimination to the Childern born out of inter faith marriages.

How does what Kersi Antia did make things right for our religion ,frankly I find religious conversion in any form repulsive, if you are not happy with the religion of your birth , then you are better of as a non beleiver,Pattersons reading of our scriptures doesn't and will not ever make him a true Zoroastrian . He will always be remembered as a wanna be Zoroastrian ,,and there will Iam sure in future be more like him. As for our dwindling numbers the issue is not ,I beleive about bringing Children of inter marriages into our faith ,but of making our own ,true beleivers and proud followers to keep this beautifull religion alive . And frankly I don't think Liberals by their varied practice ,will be in any position to do so, moreso children brought up in the West or in the western way of thinking. Liberals by nature dont follow any beliefs or ideals for very long ,and few years down the road will advocate other changes to suit them ,so I would say to them go ahead form your own reilgion and beleifs as you see it today,open up new churches and or temples ,take in all the converts you can get but please please leave my Zoroastrian religion alone. Regards Hi Shirin,
