It is just a dream to have such a massive flat at that meagre rent. Parsi community looks after their people. Best part of Parsi people is - they are brutally honest and straight forward. They have huge contribution towards nation building, eg Tatas.

[@shalinparikh4657]

They were given preference over Brahmins and others during the British time. The Brits favoured the Parsi community a lot. As a result they were given massive land at dearth cheap rates, because of this favouring ( Godrej family). The end result is you see a lot of power and land concerntrated in the hands of Parsi families even after independence. The Domino effect of rich becoming more richer also played a role. Plus the 1950 to 2000 India was more socialistic. Don't let the media hype fool you in to believing that they did great for India. Please read about tax benifits on donations and philanthropy. Best regards

[@shalinparikh4657]

@@ashwinantony7140 My intention is not bring disrespect to any community or write things that could hurt someone's sentiments. The idea to write the above long post was to share a holistic picture which may lead to a change in perception. Agreed that they could have lost everything, but think over it a little bit more and you will deduce that this community was supported by Britain even in the post independence era. There was a very slim chance that they could have failed. Also since they very limited in number, it was easier to uplift the community as a whole socially.

[@RamMohammadJosephKaur]

@@shalinparikh4657 But why would the Brits do that? The Brits were ruthless in terms of mercantile aspects, they wouldn't have favoured them if they didnt get something worthwhile in return. Parsis were entrepreneurial, hence they could chalk out such a successful path. It didnt just come out of thin air.

[@shalinparikh4657]

@@RamMohammadJosephKaur Consider this What is easier to manage A small group or a large group. This small group escaped islamic persecution and was given shelter by a noble king in Gujarat. For years they remained a sheltered community. Now the Gujrat king is more. India as such functions under the British. What is easier for the British to trust and falicitate their business A comparative majority of Hindus and Muslims Or A small minority of sheltered people Think about it!

[@thecomment9489]

4300 rs for this accommodation is almost a steal deal. And with so many single and double story independent houses and parks this place doesn't even feel like it's in Mumbai.

[@dr.s.choudhury8089]

India needs more Parsis. Such a wonderful community and hardworking, honest people. If they are giving flats out to their community people at lower rates to increase their numbers, that is completely their wish and a practical thing too. Their numbers are already dwindling

[@rohithprakash2619]

They are not at all needy...4000 rent is crazy

[@avjoshi4175]

It's unbelievable. When I was in Mumbai in 2020, the average monthly rent was 25-30000 in posh localities.

[@pankajvkbansal]

Tu posh mein nahi tha Bhai.

[@_Infocars]

Bro 30k is the rent of flats in thane

[@aosaeanor]

South Mumbai , Bandra West even 10 years back it was not possible to get anything passably good & livable for that amount !

[@gruntgobshite]

Which posh locality was that? I was in Chembur from 2020 to 2022 in a 3 bhk near Diamond Garden. The last rent I paid there was 81000! A flat with similar configuration in Bandra or Town or even Versova is upwards of 1.5 lakhs. You definitely weren't in a posh location. And there's nothing wrong with that.

[@SD_003]

That’s far from posh 😂

[@herambpatkar]

Who owns the house then? The parsi panchayat or its like a pagdi system?

[@proudindian2186]

My manager was parsi and he also got a similar house gifted

[@007vissa]

Parsis are going extinct with less than 1lakh population. The rich Parsis may have seen the downtrend decades ago and felt the need to create affordable housing for future generation. This is how all communities should work.

[@SAHIL12376]

At first after reading the caption , i thought they have missed one zero in the rental price😂😂

[@rinkychangmai6703]

OMG, Vishal does not know "IronMan" 😀Even the rental of 1300 sq feet apartment in a very small town would be much much higher than Rs.4300. Indeed, a caring community who looks after one another. And I have always loved Dadar, very green.

[@indranidasgupta1511]

Interesting learning for me today.. agreement as per Rent control act & leave and license act. So if I understand the rent control act is the pagdi system??

I respect this community. Hope all live like this in harmony and peace. One of the bestest videos

[@sohamghunakikar4757]

You have to be a building owner in the city to understand rent control or pagadi system. My parents own a bldg in the city and renters pay less than even slum dwellers. This is the sad unfortunate truth of some of the bldg owners, the rent is like in hundred rupees. Its beyond ridiculous…

If this system ends in future, these guys will be in huge trouble as they have got used to such big houses and they will not be able to afford similar houses

[@sanjivkeskar2547]

There are many old buildings in Dadar as well as in South Mumbai where people are living more than 50 years in the same rooms of Pagadi system . In Dadar real estate rate is approx Rs 30000/- per sq feet. But I. am paying rent Rs 153/- per month . Living in old bilding opp Dadar station for more than 60 years. The age of building is 85 years but in good condition . You might surprise to know this. There are hundreds of old buildings in old Mumbai. Redevelopment of such buildings is the big big question..

[@outbackandabout]

What is the meaning of pagadi system?

[@nikhilchikkmath]

Don't worry mate, in few years time a big builder will come and take over your apartment and you will be thrown out from Mumbai, that's the fact, all outsiders are coming to Mumbai and making our city theirs and we Mumbaikars ourselves have been thrown out from our city!😢

definitely needy parsis based on their lifestyle. I guess you can define needy as lavish here

[@amanparmar209]

It's a great thing that the parsi community supports its own people but what I've noticed is that because of this the younger generations of Parsi actually tend to spend almost all of their disposable income and are left without any savings. Maybe they should start some kind of mechanism for this problem as well
