This volume explores a wide spectrum of Parsee culture and society
derived through essays from the Journal of Anthropological Society
of Bombay (1886-1936). This journal documents intensive scholarship
on the Parsee community by eminent anthropologists, Indologists,
orientalogists, historians, linguists, and administrators in the
late 18th and early 19th centuries. Comprising 0.05% of India's
total population today, the Parsees (now spelled "Parsis") have
made significant contributions to modern India. Through
contributions of Jivanji Jamshedji Modi, Bomanjee Byramjee Patell,
and Rustamji Munshi, eminent Parsee scholars, the essays in this
book discuss the social and cultural frameworks which constitute
various key phases in the Parsee life nearly 100 years ago. They
also focus on themes such as birth, childhood and initiation,
marriage, and death. The volume also features works on Parsee
folklore and oral literature. An important contribution to Parsi
culture and living, this book will be of great interest to scholars
and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, ethnography,
cultural studies, history, and South Asia studies.
