Mr. Unwalla,

 

The not-so-funny side of this is that the "Parsicide", as you put it,

is actually the domain of the heterodox community who consider

themselves Parsis and yet want to admit non-Zoroastrians into

our sacred institutions. If these "modern" and "keeping with the

times" desires of theirs are fullfilled, it will mean the end (God Forbid)

of our sacred heritage and culture in India that our forefathers have

preserved for over a thousand years.

 

One other example is the heterodox desire to replace our holy

institution of Khorshed Nigareshni (exposure to the sun) with ideas

imported from other religions, such as cremation and burial. We

are not Hindus or Christians to burn or bury our dead. Why do

they want to copy other religions?

 

So it is this heterodox side of our community who are the destroyers,

whereas the Traditionals have always been the Preservers. The

word Parsicide can best be applied to these heterodox people who

want to distort our ancient culture and heritage beyond recognition.
