Re: Parsis - A recognised minority
It was the rise of Islam from Arabic land that was challenge to the Persian Zoroastrians:), other than persecution or fear of it, nothing can make a population migrate from the land where they lived for thousands of year and to the region there god or prophets belong to. The challenge was the new religion of Shia Islam, like in the past Roman Paganism faced the challenge and got decimated by the Christianity. Fear is the one of the most motivating factor, Muslims in India had fear that in democratic society their voice would be curbed even though democratic, socialist, secular republic was being offered, hence fear of Parsis are understable:)
