Very good documentary and accurate. Any Sri Lankan wants to know about the Parsis in Sri Lanka should see this documentary.

[@scherazademenon]

Very informative. I'm half Parsi with Malayalam and Tamil lineage roots. My maternal great-grandfather moved to srilanka during British colonial rule. He was a tea planter. Wonderful presentation.

Dr Zameer Careem you are just incredibly talented. We are grateful to you for sharing your knowledge and I leant a lot about this small minority group. Thanks a lot.

This is the FIRST TIME I had watched an interview in Sri Lanka on the Parsi Community. This is brilliant, an outstanding interview, very confident, clearly shows that you have a storage library in your brain. WOWWW, you remember all their names. Are you of Parsi origin as well, as you seem to have some facial and behavioural features. Thanks again for this brilliant interview. HATS OFF

[@coomiekasad8598]

Very informative I am proud to be a Parsi

[@shirleyaaron2169]

Another excellent presentation. Thank you Dr. Careem and thank you News First. Pls keep up you good work. One thing that I noticed from these conversations is that the downfall of Sri Lanka started from 1956.

The most benevolent community, so few in number yet, did so much for the Nations they resided in.. God bless them and hope their numbers increase

[@mupekhat]

Wow...what an eloquent speaker. Dr Carrim is a walking talking library...

[@vishypai7554]

Excellent! I didn't even know that the Parsi community once thrived and contributed to Sri Lankan society. Hope the few still there increase in numbers and do well for themselves and the country.,

[@ifthikarsheriff9580]

Very informative and amazed at the eloquence of Dr. Zameer and also the interviewer. Wish their were more of these interviews to educate the population of the roles played by some of the minorities in Sri Lanka.

[@manukawijesinghe9267]

This is a brilliant series. I would wish that the young journalist would stop interrupting the professor when he is giving a most enlightening historical commentary. Listen, learn and interrupt only if you must!As a listener, I am grateful for such a wonderful series and when the wise speak, it is best, when we lesser mortals just shut up. Thankyou to the producers. Such history has long been ignored for identity politics and majoritarian myth. Thankyou for making our island a cosmopolitan hub!
