Well, they say that it is the success of early Parsi entrepreneurs and other successful people such as the Wadias and the Tatas that pressurises Parsis to aspire for a fortune before getting married! This leads to either no marriage or late marriages or marriages which result in no more than one kid.
People have adopted realistic ways to keep the Parsi traditions alive. For instance, the Zoroastrians in Iran have tried to preserve the community’s identity by learning Persian poetry of the Shah Nameh, by holding religious classes and enjoying celebrations such as their New Year, Nowruz. In order to preserve and keep the race pure, inter-faith marriages are also discouraged. But the trend says people have moved with time and do not consider themselves faithless if they marry someone from another religion. “I feel, to save the religion you have to be more embracing. You should rather extend and expand to continue the religion in some form. Religion must keep up with prevailing times to let one live one’s life to the fullest,” remarked Cyrus Oshidar, ex-VP, creative, MTV. Modern Parsis present an example for many to emulate. They are secure about their existence as good human beings.
The world would only have been a better place if like Zoroastrianism, religions didn’t aim at converting people to their faith. So what if it doesn’t survive very many years. At least for generations its followers can prosper in peace and not burn eternally in conflict.
