Zoroastrianism primarily has two major sects: the Parsees and the Zarathushtis. Parsees, who primarily reside in India, are descendants of Zoroastrians who fled Persia to escape religious persecution. Zarathushtis, on the other hand, are those who remain in Iran and continue to practice the religion in its traditional context. Additionally, there are smaller communities and variations in practice, but these two sects represent the main branches of contemporary Zoroastrianism.
