For those who dont know, Zoroastrians migrated to India to escape persecution, where they are today called Parsis. The cool thing is that they are India's smallest (officially) ethnic population, however have had an OUTSIZED impact on India and the World. The unique culture (and names) are a signature element in Bollywood. And Zoroastrian food is an essential part of what defines Mumbai as a city - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/08/t-magazine/parsi-food.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/08/t-magazine/parsi-food.htm... . But beyond that, Tata (which owns Jaguar Land Rover), Serum Institute of India (world's largest maker of vaccine including COVID vaccines), Godrej Industries, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre ...and many others are all Indian Zoroastrian enterprises. And of course, Farrokh Bulsara...also known as Freddie Mercury ! But the really interesting thing is about how they treat their dead - Zoroastrians have their dead eaten by vultures. So the Indian govt operates one of the largest vulture breeding programs in the world, specifically for this purpose. These special "Towers of Silence" exist in every major city in India - especially in Mumbai, where the active Tower of Silence sits in the middle of what is considered the most expensive piece of real estate of the world.
