Who is a Parsi?
By Prochy N. Mehta
New Delhi, 2022
ISBN: 978-93-91125-77-6

The author Prochy Mehta takes the reader through a detailed analysis of the court cases and seeks to reveals through transcripts the true picture of the community.


A Proud boast of Parsis is that they belong to the world’s most ancient monotheistic religion. As a matter of historical fact, they do. But presently – with the steep decline in birth-rate, the entire community is in jeopardy; it is believed, by many, that Parsi personal law is largely responsible for this plight; what is precisely the theme around which this well- researched and liberally illustrated book has been written.
-Fali S Nariman
