Everybody would have thought of TATAs' contribution to India and believed that Parsis had always helped India grow. Yes, TATAs played important role in India's growth but remember it only started from Jamshedji Tata. And Jamshedji was also like any other businessman until he met Swami Vivekananda. It is Swamiji who inspired him to do something for the society and it started with the IISc in Bengaluru.

Do you even know why the donation was made?!?!, and if not then atleast bother yourself to find out what the intent was before trying to defame or show someone in wrong light. Probably the money was donated to Oxford for being able to conduct more research and come up with many formulas for vaccines for treating illnesses and if so, then what is wrong in donating to an institution that they partnered with for fighting a global pandemic ?!?!

Lower caste people : chuckles in breast tax

[@Rishi123456789]

@@beonmouth5821 I hate the hereditary caste system and I do not condone the hereditary caste system, but the hereditary caste system has no basis whatsoever in the Vedic scriptures. In fact, the hereditary caste system is actually CONTRARY to what the Vedic scriptures teach. Caste was never originally hereditary, it was originally only an organisation and categorisation of society based on occupation and what occupation you had was, in those ancient times, determined by whatever your predominant guna was ('guna' is a Sanskrit word that means something like 'mode' or 'tendency' in English). This is confirmed by Lord Krishna (who is considered to be God Himself in a human form by many Hindus) when He says in the Bhagavad Gita: “According to the three gunas and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me. And, although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the non-doer, being unchangeable.” Also, all of the four castes were equally necessary for Vedic Civilisation to function properly. Kshatriyas are the arms, Brahmins are the head, Vaishyas are the stomach and Shudras are the feet. This is what the Vedic scriptures declare and the message is that a person needs a head, arms, a stomach and feet to properly function and that, in a similar way, society equally needs Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras to properly function. Also, the Vedic scriptures declared for the first time anywhere in the world thousands of years ago "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (which in Sanskrit means "The world is one family"). Furthermore, Lord Krishna also states in the Bhagavad Gita in Chapter 5, Verse 18: "The learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a priest, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater." Also, the Vedic scriptures were the first scriptures in the world to declare thousands of years ago the fundamental oneness of all living things, for example the Katha Upanishad says: "As the same fire assumes different shapes when it consumes objects differing in shape, so does the one Self take the shape of every creature in whom He is present."

Today even in independent India an Indian citizen of Bombay cannot become commissioner unless he is Marathi (with rare exceptions). So yeah, don't try to teach right and wrong, or lie about history.

As a Parsi, I would generally agree with the history of our community as described in this video. It is true that the Parsis benefited immensely from the British and they were instrumental in bringing wealth, prosperity and social status to our small minority community. It may also be true that Parsis needn't be considered as an exceptional or a model minority that needs to be emulated. However, I disagree with the generalization that the prosperity of the community was solely on account of the British. Parsis of the last 2 centuries were, largely, self made entrepreneurs and professionals, who seized the opportunity when it presented itself and made the most of it to improve their status in society. The British provided the necessary spring board, but subsequently, it was the hard work and enterprise of the community that got it to where it is today. No amount of largesse can elevate the status of a polity who is not willing to work hard to enrich themselves. The Parsis started of as brokers to the British and later became successful traders with China in the opium trade. Profits from their trading activities was then ploughed into industry and subsequently philanthropy. They didn't sit back and enjoy things on a platter. Neither did they demand special treatment on account of their minority status. Instead, with their hard work and sagacity they built lasting businesses and institutions that went a long way in bringing India to the industrial age where it could stand on its own and be counted amongst the league of nations. It was the Parsis willingness to move with the times, adopt or otherwise adapt their culture and living habits to the prevalent times, that in a significant way lead to their being favored by the ruling dispensation. However, the Parsis gave back manyfold what they earned from their adopted homeland and most importantly made their wealth by honest enterprise and not by bribing, stealing or being morally corrupt. If there is a lesson to be learnt from the history of Parsis in India, it would be that, honest, hard working enterprise with a view to eventually giving back to the community from which you received so much is the surest way to prosper and earn the respect of others who cohabitate with you.

[@kayansanjana9843]

Exactly what I've been trying to say! Us parsis saw an opportunity to make money and took it without harming anyone. We've done nothing wrong. We are Indian and proud to be so

[@prakashtiwari8003]

Exactly, no amount of reservation or special privileges can uplift a community if they themselves not ready to catch them with both hands. Parsis were extremely entrepreneurs like most of marwari, Sindhi and Gujrati. And yes they do get favour from British because of being minority which British thought them as more loyal then the locals because of being indegineous to the land. This should be taken as a history lessons not as a hate towards certain community. We love Parsis. 🙏

The same applies to upper cast Hindus and Brahmins, many of us treated Britishers as owners of this nation. Traitors are present in every society. History is not as black and white it's grey. But I have immense respect for Parsi community, I think Mohammad Ali Jinnah was also parsi (his mother) and his wife is also parsi, his daughter married to Parsi (ness wadia). I think it was all planned by Britishers to partition of India with the help of half Parsi half Muslim Jinnah.

@@kayansanjana9843 well morally speaking its still wrong 😂 your ancestors did know that this wealth was accumulated by looting the poor sons of the soil.. the parsis sided with the British 1st and turned against the culture that gave them refuge... also the parsis do have a lot of hate towards Hindus and especially Marathi people.. let that sink in.. any community is hard working if given an advantage especially since it has been downtrodden for centuries.. stop trying to justify the actions or the mindset of your ancestors.. no one is blaming modern day parsis but most still have that mindset really.. it is very evident in Mumbai for example Ive always seen parsis calling this Bombay though they know that its a colonial name.. parsis dont want to give away their colonial mindset and for that they are being punished really.. I've seen many parsis who are either sick, diseased or twisted in some form or another.. yea I do have parsi friends but I dont get a welcoming vibe from them.. most also align with muslims at every stage even if they know they are wrong.. do you know that the 1st ever riots in Mumbai were between parsis and muslims? ..

[@NaDadiga]

I have recently discovered this interesting theory regarding the Parsis visiting India to save themselves from the persecution faced from the caliphate. The possibility of Parsis visiting India could be due to the relationship between Chalukyas of Badami and Sassanian empire of Persia where it has been found that they had embassies established in each others country. In the Ajanta cave, a painting of Immadi pulikeshi's court has been potrayed where we can observe a parsi look alike visiting the king. The theory is that he had visited the court for asking assistance to fight the caliphate and Immadi pulikeshi did indeed sent his general to assist them in the war. Later when Vinayaditya came into the power he was sent Treasuries by a persian king again asking for assistance to fight the caliphate. During this time we observe the commencement of Parsis to India. The Parsis might have already knew what India was and they might have expected the Chalukyas to take them as refuges as they had a pretty stable and ongoing relationship. The Chalukyas until they were sacked by the Rashtrakutas had significant influence over Dakshinapatha especially below the river Narmada till Kaveri.

Bali in Indonesia obviously, sometimes in Vietnam (Although the Telugu Pallava dynasty had more relations to Vietnam after us), and Phillipines too (one city there is called Kalinga) also KELING is used to refer to Indians there in entire SE asia (Although now they use it as a CURSE WORD thanks to rapid Islamization and Christianization of those communities, or for Buddhist Cambodia its Chinese dominance in politics to keep the country of Cambodia into the hands of just 1 party run by family, well similar to Congress party's tactics here, and then use them as puppets) Mala Dwipa (spelled with that Odia accent) is indeed kinda SPREADED by as a NAME by Kalinga, thats the credit, otherwise lol for every Indian language you will comment "what about Sanskrit" man atleast we are NOT like those extremist people brainwashed by "dravidian centric" parties which have destroyed even a chance to revive Sanskrit there, especially in Tamil Nadu... Odia language and any other language, of not only India but the entire world, came from Sanskrit, we as ODIAS accept this fact.. its just that the guy might have written it because he wanted credit be given to Kalinga for naming the place like that otherwise every state has such Sanskrit words, doesnt mean that those states should not claim their roles in keeping the names of certain places in their languages... thats where you are kinda wrong also all kingdoms of India, nonetheless which language which they spoke, still PROMOTED Sanskrit (Even Cholas did it, gonna give credit to them for that as well) dont take it in another tangent, we all know Sanskrit came first... its pretty obvious... we are using MODERN DAY LANGUAGES (since past 5000 or so years to recently in past 100) where modern languages of India had developed, and hence claiming credit via that otherwise long ago, Sanskrit would have been the only language... then does it make sense to remove credit of all the states and say "only sanskrit did that" ??? no right, coz it causes confusion of WHICH PART of India did it... so thats the angle... otherwise as I have repeated 10 times already WE KNOW, that ODIA and every other INDIAN language, CAME FROM SANSKRIT only... obviously all our words will be from Sanskrit or sound similar... even Hindi isnt proper Sanskrit... Sanskrit is totally something else... its the mother of all langauges... I think you didnt know perhaps that "Mala Dwip" (pronounced as "Mala Dwipa" with those "ou" or "aw" Odia retroflex sounds) can exist in Odia too... for obvious reasons... next day can we call Maharashtra to be a name from SANSKRIT and not Marathi? no right? or call PUNJAB as a SANSKRIT word and not a Punjabi one... no right? it will cause confusion... I know Maharashtra and Punjab or any thing/word is FROM SANSKRIT, but gotta give the NAME to the place of what THE PEOPLE call the land as... even Oda Desha means Odisha (Oda being the clan/community of Ancient Odias and Desha meaning, Desh, aka Country/Kingdom/State/Province, Terrirtory being more appropriate in this context) yes exactly thats the logic of what I am talking about...

Of course, in the present scenario, there can be nothing against the Parsis in India. It is hard not to jump at the opportunity to create wealth when the entire community had been displaced from their original homeland. Even though magnanimity was shown by the Indian king to allow them to settle here in India, it could never be the same being away from their original place. Given similar opportunities, surely a whole lot of indigenous communities would have done the same and must have done so. When there had been snakes like Raja Ram Mohan Roy _(and multiple others)_ amidst our own, it is hard to point fingers at others. One valid complaint against them maybe, being truly a minority _(and being a wealthy one at that)'_ they can do a lot to thwart the false narrative being peddled by the *second-largest majority* in the guise of being a "minority" of intolerance by the majority community and so on. I know it must have been hard being under foreign occupation, but it can not be ignored that we did a poor job of recording our history. If I am mistaken, then we must have seriously failed at the battle of narratives. I mean, for instance, the Jewish community has suffered a lot and had been a downtrodden community for decades. But, they did not fail to keep the world reminded of the atrocities committed against them. Initially, when one delves into world history, it would appear as if they are the only group of people who have suffered inhumane treatment at the hands of others and no one else. Of course, the factors around them can not be exactly equated with that of the Hindus, still, it begs to wonder as to why we still lag behind in the battle of narratives.

@@thedescanteer In my comment, I was referring to the supposed past transgressions of the Parsi community. In the video, that's what was touched upon mostly. So, in that regard I started off my comment. As for you response, I'm sure that may be the case. I know that TISS comes across as anti-Hindu with their major left inclination. Then again, which social sciences institution _(or arts stream)_ is not? _(rhetorical)_ - When the entire course is designed and structured by leftists, that is an inevitable result. Either knowingly or unknowingly, that is what is being implemented across the board. Definitely, there must be a whole lot of them who continued their association with their colonial masters. When our country's constitution, education and law framework are prime symbols of colonial continuity, then there must have been continuation of other aspects at various levels. And as for them being insular and supremacists, that's news for me. If that is true then one of the factors could be rooted in their seemingly antithetical religion to _Sanatan Dharma_ and dualistic approach (of good and evil) which is more akin to Abrahamic religions. If they are strongly identified with their religious ideologies, then there is definite scope for conflict with others who don't subscribe to their views. Sure.

Most Parsis you would find look down upon on Hindu culture and a Parsi intellectual , judge, or bureaucrat is likely to side with Muslims and Christians against Hindus. I don't believe most of them understand how generous Hindus have been to them. There is very little gratitude, if any, towards Hindus among most community members.

I worked in Iran as a medical specialist for three years and I can share very interesting anecdotes with parsis now are still there with a sincere hope of some miracle. No superior traits in anything except they look more vibrant (being tanned) than the stale whites.
