Noshir’s Finest Hour Never in the history of nearly 350 years of its existence, has the Bombay Parsi Punchayet been beleaguered to such an extent that our concerned trustee Noshir Dadrawalla had to take recourse to the Gandhian way of protest! It must have been the last straw for this veteran campaigner. A hunger strike! […]
PERFORM OR PERISH As we all know by now, the burning issue at hand is the long overdue BPP Elections. A few Community members, including me, approached BPP Chairperson Armaity Tirandaz on Oct 5, 2021 to discuss the reasons for the delay in holding Elections. A letter was submitted to the Chairperson and Trustees asking […]
Support Pours In For Ervad Zarrir Bhandara Since the day the Behram Roj Jashan took place last week in the Atash Kadeh of the Zoroastrian Association of California Center (ZAC), Ervad Zarrir Bhandara has received several offensive posts calling him a ‘renegade priest’ who is only after fame and fortune. Nothing is further from the […]
Thank You For Announcement of Behram Yazad Jasan Thank you for the announcement of Behram Yazd Jasan and the speeches to be delivered thereafter, on 4th Sept, 2021, in Parsi Times. The Jashan performed for bringing about good times back, in view of religious places being closed and the threat of pandemic’s third wave looming large […]
A Full Board Of Trustees – The Need OF The Hour! As a community member who wishes for the growth and welfare of our tiny yet glorious community, I am absolutely aghast at the ongoings at the BPP. The Trustees were elected by us to do good for the community – but for some Trustees, […]
Re: Dokhmenashini Plea Rejected When the Gujarati High Court has dismissed the community plea to allow Dokhmenashini, it is probable that the Bombay High Court will follow suit. There’s no doubt that the life and safety of citizens is more important than religious sentiments. But it’s painful to watch our dearest ones proceeding on their […]

Kudos PT! Always very interesting reading my favourite PT – especially the pages on Parsis making history of being included in the magnificent 100 at Lords!! I wish to heartily congratulate Team PT for their brilliant coverage of Parsi Cricketers Making History at the very home of cricket at Lords! I am hugely proud both, […]
Shocking And Unjust Behavior By BPP Trustees! With respect to the article of our trustee Mr. Kersi Randeria, in Parsi Times dated 29th May, 2021, we are shocked to learn that the BPP trustees are in favour of those 14% who have not paid their dues, and have asked the custodians to accept rent from […]
Be A Part Of The Solution, Not The Problem! I have been getting numerous WhatsApp and FB messages, related to Covid and the current scenario in the country. Some groups speak about the lack of facilities and services at Parsee General Hospital where old people lined up as early as 5:00 am for the vaccine […]
Trusteeship For BPP As each BPP election costs about 40 lakhs to the coffers of BPP and a fairly big amount to the candidates, it is better that interim elections be avoided and the candidates are elected, uncontested. This time we have two virtuous candidates contesting – Anahita Desai, who commands an excellent track record […]
