Zoroastrianism Following the fall of the Sassanid Empire in 651 many Zoroastrians migrated, including several groups who settled in Gujarat. The descendants of those refugees are today known as the Parsis and Irani. The year of arrival on the subcontinent cannot be precisely established and Parsi legend and tradition assigns various dates to the event. They originally settled along coastal Gujarat in villages like Sanjan in Valsad district, along Gujarat-Maharashtra border. Parsis are generally more affluent than other Indians and are stereotypically viewed as among the most Anglicised and "Westernised" of the various minority groups[33]. They have also played an instrumental role in economic development with several of the best-known business conglomerates of India run by Parsi-Zoroastrians, including the Tata, Godrej, and Wadia families. Parsis from India * pioneering Indian industrialist and philanthropist Jamshedji Tata * the industrialist and founder of Indian Civil aviation J. R. D. Tata * Indian political activists Pherozeshah Mehta, Dadabhai Naoroji and Bhikaiji Cama; * Conductor Zubin Mehta, countertenor Bejun Mehta, composer Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji, and rock artist Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara) * British actor and Film Producer Ray Panthaki * nuclear scientist Homi J.

The Indian industrial families Tata family, Godrej family and Wadia family are also of Parsi Zoroastrian background. The Iranis are an ethno-religious community of the Indian subcontinent; descendants of Zoroastrians who emigrated from Greater Iran (in the main from central Iran) to the Indian subcontinent within the last few centuries. They are culturally, linguistically and socially distinct from the Parsis, who - although also Zoroastrians - arrived on the subcontinent over 1000 years ago. Notable members of the Irani community include: * Anosh Irani, Indo-Canadian novelist * Ardeshir Irani, Bollywood director of the first Indian sound film, Alam Ara * Aruna Irani, Bollywood actress of 70s and 80s. * Meher Baba (Merwan Sheriar Irani), Indian spiritual master * Boman Irani, Bollywood actor * Jenni Irani (Jamshed Khudadad Irani), cricketer * Karishmeh Felfeli, western classical pianist and radio broadcaster * Ronnie Irani, cricketer * Dinshah Irani, Zoroastrian leader who provided aid to the Zoroastrian community of Iran. * Honey Irani, Screenwriter (Krrish) * Daisy Irani, Bollywood child actress of the 50's and 60's |
