“Our Parsi Times comes just once a week on Saturdays and I anxiously await it for its diverse and informative articles. It’s not only enlightening but also enjoyable to read. With so many happenings taking place within and outside our community, on an everyday basis, I feel it’s impossible to cover it all in just one edition and thus, it would be great if Parsi Times turned into a daily.”

“At a recent media awards ceremony that I attended, I witnessed awards given for reporting on all negative aspects of our society – all the bad news that you could expect! We have centuries of fine cultural tradition, which gave us the reputation of being the fountainhead of wisdom but the media should take some responsibility for this lack of appropriate exposure and appreciation for cultural reportage, as Culture certainly matters and the great traditions that we have inherited will come to naught without the support of enlightened corporations and the media. I am therefore happy to see at least some publications taking this up and I particularly congratulate Parsi Times on their 7^th Anniversary for providing the due platform and exposure to culture.”

“I’ve been privileged to spend time with our Zoroastrian community’s youth leaders at the ASHA centre in England and I’m confident that our young leaders will guide us towards renewed greatness with their great energy and wisdom. Our young are gifted and good and I am so proud of them. We do need platforms to encourage and share this goodness and I am delighted that Parsi Times proactively provides a platform for youth causes and encouraging the growth and unity of our Zoroastrian youth in India as well as the world over.
Congratulations to Parsi Times on your 7^th Anniversary!”

“Parsi Times not only provides informative and enjoyable reads but is also very reasonably priced. People so often share their thoughts with the community through Parsi Times, with the help of the Editor who is extremely kind and obliging, and so is the owner. It is a fair and square paper – providing honest and factual information. Overall, through its numerous columns, the paper has boosted the spirit of so many entrepreneurs and businesses within the community which is commendable. I wish Parsi Times all the very best and hope that it reaches every Zoroastrian across our country and beyond!”

In a short time, you’ve exhibited a very high standard of journalism. I hope the paper goes from strength to strength as the primary community newspaper and continues the high standards set up by the editor and her dedicated team. Well done Anahita and team!”
