					<description><![CDATA[Like the Ashkenazim Jews of Europe.
The big difference id that legitimacy is from the maternal line

I.e. if the mother is a jew, the children can claim jewishess
The children of males thru a non Jewish cannot claim to be Jews.

I wonder if in a couple of centuries Parsis will want to claim part of Iran]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Parsis do not accept converts apparently because they had promised the local ruler not to convert. But people have accused this as a form of racism. 

Children of interfaith marriages involving male line can become Parsis through a navjot ceremony.  pheroz Gandhi could have done this to his sons and later to their sons, leading to Rahul and  varun.

However Parsi women married to outsiders were excommunicated, leading to lots of acrimony and law suits. 

I believe lots of west based Iranians call themselves zoarastrian. If Iran opens up, Indian Parsis can get some support. But it is said that Iranian zoarastrians are on a lower pedestal than their Indian cousins.]]></description>

the Iranis are the core community. The Zoroastrians from Yazd (not Parsis); then the Shi&#039;ites, the Indian Muslims, and then the Hindus-Sikhs.

Much like our trajectory (Quarter Irani, half Shi&#039;ite, Sayyid &amp; Persian, Qaqazai) now intermixed with Hindus (idol, worship, Puja etc).

Bahá’ís, in India, Hinducise very rapidly but remain distinct. A bit like &quot;sugar in the milk&quot; though milk is already sweet.]]></description>
