Dear Editor, I feel extremely sick reading last two weeks issues of Jam-E-Jamshed and Parsi Times with letters from the Trustees of BPP and some seemingly engineered letters from some of your readers. All about who said what and one publication not being favoured for the advertisements from BPP! Have not the Parsi Press and…
Dear Editor, I would like to bring a serious issue before the Community. The Karani Agiary at Cusrow Baug has been collecting funds for the last several years for the betterment of the poor and religious matters. Hence, I read with shock in the Jam-e-Jamshed issue of July 10, 2016 that they along with Jam-e-Jamshed…
Dear Editor, This is with ref to the above mentioned plea in last issue’s Letters To Editor. Unfortunately, the Rent Act, allowing rents to be frozen since the 1940’s has contributed to such problems. If the tenants paid the market rent, such problems would not occur. Having got accustomed to paying just a few Rupees rent,…
Dear Editor, In the issue of Parsi Times dated 16th July, one Mrs. Khorshed Oomrigar has expressed her views regarding the Worli Prayer Hall, which are factually incorrect. At the outset I would like to mention that during my visit to India a month back, I had attended a funeral ceremony at the said Prayer…
Dear Editor, It is indeed a pleasure to start the weekend reading your editorial. You pick up topical topics and say it as it should be said, peppered with a bit of wit and humour. As Editor, it is your job to place facts on the table without being judgmental, however bitter it may be….
Dear Editor, In the Parsi Times dated 4th June, 2016, Indian Test Cricketer Farrokh Engineer has praised my village, Nargol. He had come to Nargol in 1964 with Nari Contractor, Rusi Surti, Behram Irani, Manohar Hardikar, etc. to play a friendly match. I also played in the match and had taken Farrokh’s wicket and scored…
Dear Editor, It is common knowledge that with the dwindling population of our community, our ancestral properties attract the attention of land sharks and even statutory authorities, who issue Public Notices for acquiring them in obscure newspapers and magazines. It was really shocking to read the Public Notice dated the 14th June, 2016 issued by…
Dear Editor, In PT’s May 28th issue, Kersee Kabrajee worries about the dwindling number of our community and suggests we call ourselves Indian Zoroastrians because we came to India as Zoroastrians and not as Parsis. I wonder in what way it is going to help us increase our population. I also wonder if anybody heard…
Dear Editor and Parsi Times team, I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for the lovely write up you published highlighting the recent past. I am so honoured to be part of such a trend setting newspaper! So many Parsi youngsters have come up to me and congratulated me about this and have…
Dear Community members, You are probably well aware that our community is heading straight towards extinction in India -according to demographic studies, our number will be down to 20,000 by 2050, if not earlier. So, if you wish to wake up from ‘Khavasni, Pivasni and Suvasni’ (good food, good drinks and good sleep), here’s two…
Dear Editor, I’ve been an avid reader of the Parsi Times since its inception five years ago and would like to congratulate the PT team for the fab new look. Parsi Times is evolving for sure – in terms of both, looks as well as content – it has indeed shaped up very well. The…
