Roots of Zoroastrianism in Iran and India

About this book

This book traces the historical development of Zoroastrianism from ancient Iran to India. It examines Iranian society during Zoroaster's time, the influence of Mazdakism, and the rise of Zoroastrian religious thought. The study analyzes the impact of Arab invasions on Iranian culture and society, followed by the migration of Zoroastrians to India and also includes:

  • Examination of Zoroastrianism's rise within the broader historical context of ancient Iran
  • Critical assessment of Arab invasions and their transformative impact on Iranian society and culture
  • Detailed documentation of Zoroastrian migration to India and community establishment
  • Analysis of Zoroastrian cultural contributions to Indian society and religious diversity
  • Scholarly investigation of Mohsin Fani's Dabistan-i-Mazahib as a source for religious studies

The book explores their cultural contributions to Indian society and concludes with an examination of Mohsin Fani's Dabistan-i-Mazahib as a significant source for understanding religious diversity in the subcontinent.
