Parsis in India: A Legacy of Resilience and Innovation

A group of Zoroastrians embarked on a journey to India nearly 1,200 years ago. They traveled by ship after their homeland in Persia (modern-day Iran) was conquered by Islamic forces. They landed on the shores of Gujarat. They arrived in a place called Sanjan. The Hindu king gave them shelter. Like the Jews, the Hind gave the Zoroastrians refuge and a place to live and thrive. These Zoroastrians,…

Interview of "RAZA KAZIM" with Host Muhammad Ali Raza (Daily Independent News Paper) TODAY, TWO RAZA’S ARE SITTING TOGETHER

Muhammad Ali Raza is a program anchor and journalist of Pakistan who conducted a written interview with the famous philosopher Raza Kazim. I have reached that now it has become very difficult to communicate with him, so I am looking for your written article. I hope knowing about Raza Kazim will be very beneficial and full of knowledge for you.

He invented a musical instrument, the Sagar Veena, of which his daughter Noor Zehra is the only player in Pakistan, and through her is the grandfather of the famous pop-rock band Noori duo, Ali Noor and Ali Hamza, while another daughter, Baela Raza Jamil, is one of Pakistan's leading educators, with major contributions in the field of education reform. He is also the uncle of actress and model Juggan Kazim. Raza’s journey of rejecting ugliness and pursuing human happiness, which got him involved with society, politics and the questions of his time, began in 1942, at the age of 12, when he became a part of the Indian Congress movement. After 1945 he moved away from the Congress movement and got involved with the Muslim League movement working for an independent Pakistan. After doing his LLB in 1953 he began his law practice and from 1959 onwards became Advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan. By 1965 he began to have serious doubts about the validity of the Marxist ideology but he persevered with it till 1970. In between, in 1962, he also designed the world’s first shrimp factory ship which was made by a team of Norwegian naval architects and engineers. After 1970 he began his quest of discovering a post-Marxist theory of social change, yet another attempt to address the issue of human happiness, in the light of the explosive progress in science and technology and developments in Brain Sciences, Astrophysics & Particle Physics. In 1995, he set up ‘Sanjan Nagar Institute of Philosophy and Arts’ (SIPA), as a laboratory for developing and testing this emerging theory,

which he calls ‘Evolutionary Mentology’, and has been funding it from his Law practice ever since. In the same year he also started a parallel organization called Sanjan Nagar Public Education Trust (SNPET) which runs a free school for girls in a working class area of Lahore. He currently devotes his time to the Sanjan Nagar Institute of Philosophy & Arts, a non-profit organization consisting of a team of fifty (now growing) full-time members working in the fields of Philosophy, Music and Photography. The Institute is currently based in Lahore. It is an honor for me to meet Raza Kazim. I am sitting with a person who is not only a philosopher but also a person with a very beautiful heart. He dedicated his life to serve country. This is my introductory meeting. I wanted to record Raza's interview but life did not cooperate. His age is around 95 years now I talked to Raza a lot while he couldn't even speak, he talked like children but as a journalist I will say this about Raza that "Pakistan has been made big by such people and it is because of him. In the love of the soil of the country, they turn themselves into soil, we should not only value such personalities, but it is also our duty to protect them.” May God bless Raza Kazmi with thousands of blessings and shower his mercy on him always. https://sanjannagar.wordpress.com/raza-kazim/

Qissa-e-Sanjan : The tale of Sanjan

Historians say that the below event didnot happen exactly like this. But it has become a part of the lore. And like journalists say, why let facts interfere with a good story?!

In 698 CE, a band of foreigners, from West Asia, arrived in Diu, on the West coast of India, and sought asylum from the Hindu king of the land - Jadi Rana, citing religious prosecution in their homeland.

The Hindu king was known to be wise and fair. But he was reluctant. He gave the foreigners a vessel full of milk, indicating that his kingdom was already full of people.

The leader of the band took some sugar, mixed it in the milk and replied to the king that they would mix with the society like sugar in milk and sweeten the society. Jadi Rana was impressed with the wisdom of their reply and granted them asylum.

Historians point out that the milk-and-sugar incident probably did not happen.

But these people did come from far-off lands, did seek asylum, were granted asylum, with some conditions that they complied with, integrated into the land and its customs, bend their heads, worked hard, never complained, practiced their faith, gave back to the land that gave them refuge in multi-fold, and today, are regarded as one of the most respected minorities in the country.

These people who landed on the shores of India 1300 years ago were the Parsis. Therein lies an amazing tale.

To understand why the Parsis came to India, it will do us some good to understand what West Asia looked like in the early to mid 7th century.

What are today Iran and Iraq were called Persia and were a part of the Sasanian Empire. The official religion of people in this region was Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest contiguous religions of the world, believed to have been founded in the second millennium BCE. Its spiritual founder was Zarathushtra and he extolled Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord), as its supreme being.

What are today modern Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Egypt were a part of the Byzantine Empire. The official religion of this land was Christianity. We all know about it, or at least, we think we do.

What are Saudi Arabia and the Emirates today were the Rashidun Caliphate. In 610 CE, Prophet Muhammad went to a cave in the hills near Mecca, God spoke to him, he became a messenger, and a new religion, Islam, was born, which spread like wild fire and created the Rashidun Caliphate.

The Rashidun Caliphate, the first Caliphate of Islam, emboldened by its success in uniting the Arabian peninsula under one Caliphate, one ruler and one God, expanded outwards and conquered the giants of the old world - the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire, also called the Sassanid Empire. Mass scale religious persecution for conversion to Islam followed.

The Zoroastrians of Persia first fled to Khorasan (Northern Iran), where they regrouped to take back Persia from the Arabs, and when that effort failed and future prospects seemed futile, they fled to the island of Hormuz and from there to India. Thats how they landed on the shores of the wise king, Jadi Rana. And since they had come from Persia, they were called Parsis.

Jadi Rana granted them permission to stay, subject to a few conditions:

1) Parsis were to adopt the local language.

2) Parsis women were to wear the attire of local women - Saris.

3) Parsis were prohibited from wearing armor or carrying weapons.

4) Parsis were to conduct their marriages in the night like their Hindu neighbours.

The Parsis readily accepted these conditions and to further allay the Hindus, they prepared 'The 16 Shlocks' (Shlokas) to explain how their religion had parallels with the locals'.

1) We are worshippers of Ahura Mazda (Supreme Being) and the sun and five elements - sun, moon, earth, water and fire.

2) We observe silence while bathing, praying, making offerings to fire and eating.

3) We use incense, perfumes, and flowers in our religious ceremonies.

4) We are worshippers of the cow.

5) We wear the sacred garment - the sudra or shirt, the kusti for the loins, and the cap of two folds.

6) We rejoice in songs and instruments of music on the occasion of marriages.

7) We ornament and perfume our wives.

8) We are liberal in our charities, especially in excavating tanks and wells.

9) We extend our sympathies towards males and females.

10) We practice ablutions with gaumutra, one of the products of the cow.

11) We wear the sacred girdle when praying and eating.

12) We feed the sacred flame with incense.

13) We practice devotion five times a day.

14) We are careful observers of conjugal fidelity and purity.

15) We perform annual religious ceremonies on behalf of our ancestors.

16) We place great restrictions on women during and after their confinements.

They converted the waste lands of a nearby place called Sanjan to a 'Garden of Heaven' and by 721 CE, about a couple of decades after they landed, they build their first Fire Temple in Sanjan and and offered prayers to their Lord, as free people, in a free land, hopeful of the future.

A pillar exists in the town of Sanjan today, known as the Sanjan Stambh, which reminds the Parsis of their story and their ties to the land.

Over the years, Parsis migrated to Khambay, Ankleswar, Variav, Vankaner, Surat, Thana and Chaul in the West and to Rohilkhand, Malwa and Tughlakpur in the North. Peace and prosperity reigned, till Islamic conquerors came to India too. Sanjan was destroyed and they had to move base to Navsari, a few kilometers away. Parsis would finally settle down at Navsari and the town would become the cultural and religious center for Parsis.

This story of Sanjan was passed on by oral tradition until it was written by Bahman Kaikobad, a Parsi priest of Navsari in 1600. It was called Qissa-e-Sanjan, or the Legend of Sanjan.

The Qissa-e-Sanjan is not only the story of the Parsis in India, it is the story told by Parsis themselves. This is how they see themselves. It is a part of their identity. Every Parsi is told this story when they are children, and they know this story better than they know their scriptures.

Over generations, Parsis have lived their lives according to the promise they made to the Hindu King at Sanjan, like sugar in milk, sweetening the society, through personal accomplishments and through philanthropy.

Here is a list of just a few notable Parsis who made a difference to India.

Immigrants from Iran

THE ROAD FROM SURAT TO BOMBAY runs through flat terrain with many industrial establishments until it is within a few miles of the border between Gujarat and Maharashtra, a frontier that did not exist before 1960, when the former Bombay State split along linguistic lines into Gujarat and Maharashtra. Beyond the border, the countryside changes suddenly and dramatically, becoming hilly, greener, and…

Homage to thee, o ahura Mazda, This column has been erected by the parsis of India in pious memory of their good Iranian ancestors, who after the downfall of their empire under the last monarch YAZDAZAR SHAHRIYAR, for the sake of their religion dearer than life left their native land and innumerable hardships at length landed at this once famous port of Sanjay and settled under the protection of its kind Hindu ruler Jadi Rana. #sanjan #sanjanstump #zoroastrianhistory #parsisofindia #zoroastrianconnection https://www.instagram.com/zoroastrianconnection/p/Buf0NnYn7xz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pn5gjnlzei9x

What the FUCK with the SHITTY misogyny, Marvel?!

MJ as nagging girlfriend/wife was fucking tired in 1988, Sanjan Saini and Frank Espinosa.

It’s downright insulting and outright sexist in 2020. But you knew that by including the overt Honeymooners references. Like THAT is oh so timely and relevant a reference. 🙄🙄🙄 Do you think your target audience demographics overlap those of Fox News?

I’m so sorry you both obviously wear toddler-sized shoes.

(Not to mention that MJ canonically makes more money than Peter and doesn’t need him to cut back on his expenses to support her.)

I know who needs to be sent to the moon - and stay there. Pow, zoom, Frank and Sanjan. You, too, Tom Brevoort for approving this as editor (and why does it not surprise me to see Brevoort attached to this sexist steaming pile?) Buh-bye.
