"This book describes the realities of modern Parsi religion. The core of the book consists of thirty in-depth interviews, in which urban Parsis belonging to different social milieus and religious schools of thought discuss various aspects of their religious lives. The central part of the book is preceded by chapters discussing relevant aspects of classical Zoroastrianism and of the life and history of the modern community in India, and by a comprehensive survey of common Parsi observance."--Jacket
