=========================================

The Parsi community are followers of Zoroastrianism, a religion originating in ancient Persia, who migrated to India to escape persecution after the Muslim invasion of Persia around the 7th century.
They are known for their unique manners and customs, such as reverence for fire and their Navjote initiation rite, while their religion emphasizes monotheism and moral conduct.
