Zoroastrians the well endowed and incomparable race!

The Zoroastrians better known as Parsis are a miniscule lot and dwindling in numbers.Parsis by and large have peculiar demeanour hence they are stereotyped as eccentric.However I heard a Parsi Professor telling her colleague "We may be Mad people but certainly not Bad people".The Parsis landed in gujrat after the holocaust and persecution in Iran. King Sajjan the ruler then granted refuge to Parsis under the condition, they shall not seek  converts and shall maintain a distinct identity.The Parsis have gone one step further,let alone distinct identity, their contribution to this Nation is commendable and awe inspiring.Parsis have penchant for pets and antiques, they are fond of dogs and relish antique cars and maintain them despite it having outlived its utility.Its rare to find parsis bereft  of sense of humour and wit.

Education has always been of Paramount Importance to Parsis hence Parsis by and large have a fabulous command over english.The Parsis have produced the most illustrious minds in the legal profession for instance H.M Seervai,Nani Palkhiwala, Soli Sorabjee and Fali Nariman. Tatas and Godrej are household names in the Industrial sector No will forget Dr Homi Baba the scientist and Zubin Mehta.Shaimak Dawar and of course The Irani Zoroastrians have made quite an impact on the minds of indians, the former by his dance and the latter by the delicacies in Irani Restaurants.Many parsis reside in baugs, khushrow Baug, Ness Baug,Rustom Baug etc.

You can love or hate parsis but never in your wildest of dreams ignore them.Its indeed appreciable despite being small in number they have pervaded in every walk of life and left an indelible mark.Principles,Ethics and Humaneness have been their inherent traits and virtues.Parsis matter to us so much hence Parsi New year is a public holiday.Parsis have been proponents of spirituality due to which they have taken to Yoga,Art of living and Vipassana.Parsis are god fearing folks and It may be difficult to Understand a Parsi but a Parsi rarely misunderstands other folks from diverse cultures.

Murky Politics,Washing dirty linen in public and mudslinging

Politics in its pristine and original form purports Adminstration and Governance.In reality both these concepts have become platitudes,The people of India have been deceived by the Powers that be.The general public has become sceptical,disillusioned and cynical about politicians as a class.Parliament has become a hub of mudslinging and washing dirty linen in public and everything which happens in Parliament is Unparliamenatry.Its no longer a sacred place and temple of law making and discussing vital,significant and crucial place but instead it has become a form to hurl accusations, make allegations and frequent disruptions.The conduct and demeanor of the Parliamentarians has deteriorated to the worst possible extent.Important legislations and Bills are inevitably put on the black burner due to diversionary tactics of vested interests in the legislature.

We do live in a system of Parliamentary democracy but our politicians have forgotten the essence of the constitution.The discussion in Parliament on whom should be given death penalty whom not gives an impetus to the media to make it breaking news and flashing news,Before court arriving at a verdict holding someone guilty has become a trend in the Parliament,The investigative agencies while are conducting the investigation are demoralised by Politicians by questioning its credibility,autonomy and independence.No confidence motions are initiated just to embarass the ruling party and eventually the ruling party by hook or crook is able to avert the No confidence motion and frustrating the attempt of the Oppostion. Many senior leaders in parliament are abiding by Supreme Court's judgement held in Baba Ramdev's case of assault on him and the folks who congregated at Ram lila Maidan.


Parliamentarians want to curtail the powers of the Judiciary as they apprehend that if judiciary becomes anti establishment and fearlessly prosecutes tainted politicians their quest for power and parliamentary seat will cease to exist. Police,CBI,Intelligence Bureau and Election Commissions have been pressurised to cater to and pander to evil machinations of the Party in Power. Its time for revolution to take place or else things will worsen from bad to worst.Internal security matters are trivialised in parliament and inflation is justified in parliament as something which is unstoppable and an international phenomena.Lord Dening was right when he said "Power corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely".
