The Parsi Community of Pakistan
Pakistan’s Parsi-Zoroastrian community is the country’s most distinguished minority, greatly respected for its contribution to public life, literature, and industry as well as for its philanthropy and self-reliance. Although the community is dwindling in size, due to emigration and inter-marriage, Parsis continue to play a prominent role in Pakistan.
Zoroastrianism originated in ancient Persia and today’s Parsis are the descendants of migrants who settled in India and later established thriving communities and commercial enterprises across Pakistan primarily in Karachi, Lahore and Quetta.
