    The Parsi Way of Life

    Uploaded by

    Suresh Nair
    The Parsi community originated from Persia and migrated to India during the 8th and 10th centuries to escape Muslim invaders in Iran. However, the Parsi population in India is declining rapidly due to lower birth rates and fertility rates compared to death rates. Many Parsis also choose to focus on their careers over starting families, which has contributed to their shrinking population size. Community organizations are working to address the population decline by encouraging earlier marriages and larger family sizes among Parsis.
