Parsis - A photographic journey

One of the most awesome and insightful portrayals of the Parsi Community that exists in the world today, is this beautifully written, photographic journey of the Zoroastrians of India, by Sooni Taraporewala.

In her inimitable, free flowing yet insightful style this legendary photographer/screenwriter captures the essence, the vibrancy, the richness of the Parsi community… and as Homi K Bhabha said “Taraporevala has mastered the art of capturing, with an unerring eye, what is both personal and communitarian in the Parsi world. As a Parsi, these remarkable photographs bring to life the vivid pageant of living amongst my people.”

This book is a must see/must have. It’s available at Amazon here.

    Would it be possible to acquire the rights to say 5-10 photogrpahs from the author/publisher to put up on the site. This can be a great way for netizens to know more about the book and the community.

    Best,
