@Jacob,Sylvia,Vernz... The Parsis are a very miniscule community and they are fighting hard for self preservation by encouraging incommunity marriages and they probably feel that this would be a good way to go about it. But such ghettoisation seems to be on the rise in Mumbai with having exclusive vegetarian apartment complexes or other minorities clustering for cultural comfort.
ReplyDelete@snowleopard.. yes I took it from a car and the reflection shows - apologies.
ReplyDeleteWiw, that is very interesting, esp your comments about the Parsis not wanting to get swallowed up.

It is amazing to think of such an exclusive clientele. Thanks for explaining the reasons behind this choice.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Dina of Jerusalem just pointed me to this particular post of yours because I had the same figure in my post yesterday used in the sign of a restaurant here, Persia Grill. I was asking who it was and Rob of Barcelona was able to give me an answer.
ReplyDeleteI love all the world blogs of CDP. :)
