Title: Parsi Intolerance
Product review: Thrity Umrigar is great. Having read her three books I get a good image of Parsi life in Bombay.Like many Indians, I take pride in saying that India sheltered many religions over centuries. I was disappointed that it becomes obvious from Umrigar's books that the Parsis have no appreciation of that. Non-Parsis even had to tolerate finding human body parts in their front doors and yards, vultures having dropped them there after having their fill, thanks to the Parsi custom of allowing dead bodies to be eaten by vultures. I know how upsetting it is to pious Hindus.It only goes to show minorities can never be totally happy in any country, even the most liberal. Keeping one's culture may make an interesting reading, but integration and assimilation brings happiness.
