In The Wonderland Of Inter-Marriages Our community has disintegrated. Had our community not dwindled inspite of inter-marriages, would we have made an issue of it?

Issues To Ponder Dear Readers, Election to Bombay Parsi Panchayat is soon approaching to elect just one member of the Board of Trustees. And so it is time for mudslinging, one-up-manship and character assassination galore. People stoop to any level to bring down a fellow candidate. I would like to take this opportunity to appraise…
