Re: The forgotten genocide---that of zorastrians in Persia
Parsis chose to come to India and India is happy that they did. There were others who came - Bahai, Ishmailis, Iraqi Jews, Tibetans, etc. Even Cleopatra of Egypt wanted to escape to India! This kind of history should be taught in Indian schools. Sikularists should be forced to stop monomaniac ars licking. CONartists are undermining the great tolerant history of India and spreading lies about the mainstream community.

The genocide there mirrors the genocide committed in India on Hindus & Sikhs. Jaziya was used to force people to convert in India apart from threat of violence and slavery. The method mentioned about taking the women and children as Slaves, if some one does not pay Jaziya explains the conversions in a clear light.
The excerpt below is very interesting. Youngsters should be taught about this.
Excerpts
Maneckjee Limjee Hoshang Hataria, with the help of funds raised by the Parsis and with the political support of the British, finally negotiated with Sultan Nasser-O-Din Shah Ghajar, the payment of a lump sum in lieu of all future Jazyeh and a permanent exemption for the Zarathushtis from paying Jazyeh.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36341636Being a pure vegetarian, I was worried about food options in Iran as I'd previously had a difficult time in China
But it turns out we have some common roots - and common food cultures.
Vegetarian Parsi food came to my rescue.
Zoroastrianism is one of world's oldest religions and was founded in ancient Iran about 3,500 years ago.
In the 10th Century, a group of Iranians fled, seeking religious freedom, and ended up on the shores of Gujarat in India where they are now known as Indian Parsi community.
Since then, the Parsis settled in India have maintained strong connections with Iran
And if you are a vegetarian like me, who does not even eat eggs, Parsi restaurants in Iran ensure you are well fed.

without exception, all the iranians I've met are excessively proud of their culture to the point of being boastful. they're fairly friendly and cultured unlike most muslims from middleast and southeast asia, but the feeling of pride and superiority is something I've seen time and again (>10 sample size). pride for them is also the same as putting down other civilizations. when we get into an argument, my friend likes to say all famous indians are ex-iranians and without fail, I remind them they fled to the safety of hindustani civilization and prospered here or they would have perished like number of other minorities in persia. that shuts them up, usually.

“Persians will never forget their defeat at the hands of Arabs in the Battle of Qadisiya 1,400 years ago. It is as if a fire keeps seething under the ashes and is waiting for the right moment to explode,” he said.
Iran’s attempts to gain supremacy in the region are not triggered by political ambition as much as by a racist drive that pushes Iranians to prove they are superior, the professor said.

Can you tell me which Hindu massacre. Are you referring to massacre of Tamils in Eelam (northeartern Sri Lankan island) by India-Lanka?
Yes I know of the Sikh massacres in 1980s by Indian army.

If a doctor comes to your house to treat a patient suffering from ear infection, you will pester him to cure your insanity......
The topic of discussion on this thread is: Parsis. If you have anything to contribute on Parsis, pl. do so. Otherwise, gather your LTTE buddies and mourn the death of butcher Prabhakaran......

Sitting in some remote corner in Canada, you keep talking about an independent Tamil Nadu that 99.9% of the people living in Tamil Nadu don't want. You and your Thanjai Nalankilli can go soak your collective heads in the Arabian Sea.Kayalvizhi wrote:Separatist, Secessionist or Independence Movements in India: Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Punjab, Tamil Nadu
