Discrimination and persecution of Iranian Zoroastrians: The FEZANA Talks #7

Discrimination and persecution of Iranian Zoroastrians and how Maneckji Limji Hataria contributed to saving the community.

Presented by 

Dr. Mehborzin Soroushian and Viraf Soroushian,

this session will talk about how when Maneckji Limji Hattaria arrived in Iran from India, the Zoroastrian community there was on the brink of extinction.  What forms of persecution, discrimination, and extermination did this once dominant community undergo leading up to that point? 

How did Maneckji and the Parsi-funded Amelioration Society contribute to saving the Iranian Zoroastrian community?  And what lessons can we extract for our present times?

This and more during our next Fezana Talks.
