This volume explores a wide spectrum of Parsee culture and society derived through essays from the Journal of Anthropological Society of Bombay (1886–1936). This journal documents intensive scholarship on the Parsee community by eminent anthropologists, Indologists, orientalogists, historians, linguists, and administrators in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Comprising 0.05% of India’s total population today, the Parsees (now spelled “Parsis”) have made significant contributions to modern India.

Through contributions of Jivanji Jamshedji Modi, Bomanjee Byramjee Patell, and Rustamji Munshi, eminent Parsee scholars, the essays in this book discuss the social and cultural frameworks which constitute various key phases in the Parsee life nearly 100 years ago. They also focus on themes such as birth, childhood and initiation, marriage, and death. The volume also features works on Parsee folklore and oral literature.

An important contribution to Parsi culture and living, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, ethnography, cultural studies, history, and South Asia studies.

Meet Connor. He’s four years old. He’s a teaser at school. He thinks it is cool to copy others. But when someone plays the Same Game with him, he realizes how it feels to be copied. Connor learns a valuable lesson of respect and what it means to have self-control.

A great story for parents, children, teachers, and counselors with an entertaining way to teach kids about respecting others, not bullying, working together, and about dealing with emotions. Ages 4 and up. Our goal as educators is to teach critical thinking and life skills to children. Thanks and happy learning.
