What do you mean by Parsi? French assistant.

Parsi (Gujarati:? ), translated as "Bath" in Guangzhou, Macao and Hong Kong, and translated as "Pasi" or "Pazhi" in other regions, is a Zoroastrian nation dominated by the Indian subcontinent. All Parsis who live outside India are from India or Pakistan. The ancestors of the Parsis were Zoroastrians who migrated from Persia to the Indian subcontinent 1 0,000 years ago.

During the 8th-/Kloc-0th century, some Persians who insisted on Zoroastrianism refused to convert to Islam and moved to Gujarat on the west coast of India. These Persian immigrants are called "Parsis" in India. Up to now, there are about 65438+ ten thousand people. They still believe in Zoroastrianism, mainly engaged in industry and commerce, and speak Gujarati. Although these Parsis are not Muslims, this is the first time we have seen the word "Parsis" in Indian history. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the word "Percy" means Persians, who are descendants of Zoroastrianism in Persia who immigrated to India. It can be seen that the word "Percy" appeared in India since the Middle Ages, which means "Persian". Later, with the widespread spread of Islam in the South Asian subcontinent, the meaning of the word "Passy" gradually expanded in the popular languages of India.

Although Parsis originally from Persia, most Indian Parsis have lost social or family ties with Persia and have no * * * language with Persia. In the hundreds of years since the first Zoroastrians arrived in India, Parsis have been integrated into Indian society while maintaining their unique customs and traditions. Therefore, the Parsi people have a special position-they are Indians in nationality, language and history, but they are not typical Indians in blood, culture, behavior and religious habits (only accounting for 0.006% of the total population).
