What caste is Tata, India's richest man?

The Tata family came from Persia in the early years, belonging to Zoroastrianism, which moved from Persia to Parsi, Gujarat, India in the 8th century, and then spread to Mumbai. They account for only a small part of India's population. Compared with other ethnic groups in India, Parsis are not bound by religion and caste system, open-minded and willing to accept new things. They attach importance to education, and their cultural level is much higher than that of other Indians. At one time, the bulk trade with China was run by Pacis. Thanks to their long-term business and experience with the British, the Parsis were rich and experienced, and became the earliest comprador businessmen in India.

The Tata family started their business in the middle of the19th century and has a history of nearly 200 years. Jim Shetty's father Nushewanji changed his family's religious tradition and left home early to become a businessman and banker in Mumbai.
