description: Reprint of a late 19th century classic. This remains the single most authentic presentation of the History of the Parsis. The author, a Parsi gentleman, provides a thorough understanding of not only the true history of the people but also its rituals, beliefs, customs and ceremonies. In this lucid and entertaining book, Karaka offers both a lively introduction to the origin of the Parsis, and a graphic account of their way of life. It provides most comprehensive and authentic details of the Parsi system of education, Parsi Laws and internal government, their philosophy, as well as their religion through details pertaining to their prayer rituals, ceremonies related to Birth and Marriage, the Religious Books, moral teachings, sacred fire and fire-temples.
