"Les Parsis" by Delphine Menant is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the history and cultural practices of the Parsis, an ethno-religious group descended from ancient Persians, who migrated to India to escape religious persecution. The narrative details their migration, settlement in India, and the influences of both Zoroastrianism and Indian traditions on their community. The opening of the book introduces the context of the Parsi community, starting with their historical legacy as descendants of ancient Persians and describing the dire circumstances that led them to flee their homeland for India. It outlines their initial migration journey, the conditions under which they settled in Gujarat with the permission of the local Hindu leader, and how they adapted their customs to gain acceptance. The text emphasizes the significance of maintaining their faith while integrating into a new culture, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their evolving identity as a minority community in India.
