Statistics show that the increase in population is mostly restricted to third world countrIes. Some have accepted proselytism to increase the statistical count. There are no living, practising Zarathushti descendants of these groups. I submit the following account for those who prescribe inter-communal marriages and proselytism in order to increase our numbers. It is not just the Birales who face extinction due to seeking marriages outside their own tribe in order to increase their numbers, but other indigenous tribes in various parts of the world are also documented as facing extinction due to the influence of outside cultures.
Anthropologists are concerned about the loss of languages and cultures.
It has been proven that most children of inter-communal marriages do not practise any one religion. They are caught between two religions and end up following no particular religion. Increasing numbers of young Jews no longer consider Judaism a vital factor in their lives, nor are they convinced maintenance of the Jewish people is a goal that must be pursued at all costs. Jews are a tiny majority in the world and barely more than 1 percent in Canada. I hope that our reformist Zarathushtris will pay heed to the warning and concerns the other communities are expressing for their own survival.
