Parsis are the descendants of Zoroastrians who fled Persia (modern-day Iran) in the 7th century to escape religious persecution after the Muslim conquest. They sought refuge in India, primarily in the region of Gujarat, where they established vibrant communities while maintaining their religious and cultural practices. Over time, they became known for their contributions to Indian society, particularly in commerce, industry, and philanthropy. The term "Parsi" itself means "Persian" in the Persian language, reflecting their origins.
