PARSIS: THE ZOROASTRIANS OF INDIA --
A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY
by Sooni Taraporevala



A runaway hit since its December release in Bombay, and its World Zoroastrian Congress launch in Houston (as part of the Legacy Book Launch), this critically-acclaimed coffee table book is now available worldwide.

parsis3Screenwriter of hit movies "Salaam Bombay," "Mississippi Masala," "Such a Long Journey," and the recently-released "Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar," Sooni Taraporevala - also an accomplished photographer - has created a first-ever visual portrait of India's Parsi community. Her book offers an affectionate insider's view of Parsi life in all its diversity - from legends of the past to creative artists of the present, from agiaries to living rooms, from the streets of Bombay to the villages of Gujarat. The color and b&w photos are accompanied by Taraporevala's personal and historical essays, as well as her conversations with diverse Parsis and their wide spectrum of opinions. Taraporevala has captured the faces, voices, and unique culture of the Parsis - her own community - over a period of twenty years, in this unprecedented and critically acclaimed book.

Hardcover, 252 pgs, 175 color/b&w photos, printed in Hong Kong, published by Good Books, Mumbai India
