India's iconic Parsi magazine to shut after 60 years
After 60 years, Parsiana, an iconic Parsi magazine in India, is set to shut down in October due to dwindling subscribers and lack of funds. The magazine, started in 1964 to chronicle the Parsi community in Mumbai, has been a vital source of connection for Parsis worldwide. Led by Jehangir Patel since 1973, the magazine has tackled sensitive issues with honesty and humor, from high divorce rates to interfaith matrimonial ads. Its closure marks the end of an era for the Parsi community.
