India's iconic Parsi magazine to shut after 60 years

Parsiana, an iconic Parsi magazine in India, is set to shut down after 60 years of operation. The fortnightly journal, which was launched in 1964 by a Parsi doctor, has been a prominent voice in chronicling the Parsi community's history, culture, and current affairs. The decision to discontinue the publication comes amid declining readership and financial challenges faced by the magazine. Parsiana has been a crucial platform for the Parsi community, serving as a means of preserving and sharing their rich heritage and traditions. The closure of Parsiana marks the end of an era and a significant loss for the Parsi community in India. The magazine's demise reflects the broader challenges faced by traditional print media in the digital age, as well as the changing landscape of community-based publications. Despite this setback, the legacy of Parsiana and its contribution to the Parsi community's cultural preservation will continue to be remembered and celebrated by its loyal readers and the wider Parsi diaspora.
