`extremely well-researched book ... John Hinnell's book is a major
contribution to research on Zoroastrianism. It seems equally
important for diaspora studies.'
Michael Stausberg, BRILL (Numen Vol 46)
`you do get preferential treatment in India, even today, when you
mention that you are a Parsi. ... a fascinating, if sometimes
painful, account of why this remains so.'
The Times Higher Education Supplement, 15 August 1997
`A masterful introduction to Zoroastrian religion and to South
Asian immigration in Britain...Absorbing, sensitive, and
exhaustively researched, this book will remain the standard work
for many years. Essential for college and research libraries.'
Religious Studies Review
`'...The author's affection for the Zoroastrian religion in general
and the British community in particular, is clear to the reader
from the outset; here, we have a labour of love, of which this
volume is only the first fruit...His enthusiasm for the religion is
infectious and his brief overview of Zoroastrian history from 1200
BCE to the present in a few pages leaves one breathless...Hinnells
is adept at making what might have been a rather parochial
history into an absorbing account of the politics of
survival...''
