Parsi Khabar posted its 100th post yesterday.
The blog started as a small idea to highlight issues and events that concern the Parsis of India in particular and the Zoroastrian community at large around the world.
The Parsis have for the last 15 centuries called India their home. Escaping Islamic persecution in ancient Persia, they landed on the shores of western India, and since then havent looked back. Embracing the Indian way of life, be it in dress (saris) or food ( spices and flavours) the Parsis have given back to the society they live in, in large measures. At the forefront of industry and technology, commerce and trade, aviation, government and law, Parsis have been a very small but important community in the melting pot that is India.
The aim of Parsi Khabar is to be a sort of repository of links to articles on the world wide web that have anything to do with Parsis and their culture, traditions, history, social customs, food, et al.
More importantly it also address the issues that face the community today and takes a stand.
Of course we always agree to disagree amicably, and therefore opposing views are welcome.
As was mentioned in our very first post, we would love to print opinions, and articles from people all over, irrespective of whether they agree with our politics or not.
