Zoroastrianism in India : ウィキペディア英語版 | Zoroastrianism in India
Zoroastrianism in India shares more than a thousand year of history with the culture and people of India. After the Islamic conquest of Greater Persia, Zoroastrianism declined in Persia but continued to flourish in India as a result of their migration. Due to persecution of Zoroastrians in other countries and events in the history of India, today the largest population of Zoroastrians resides in India, where Zoroastrians have played a notable role in the Indian economy, entertainment, the armed forces, and the Indian freedom movement during British Raj. The Zoroastrian groups are regarded as either Parsi or Irani depending on the time of migration to India. == History == When Islam became the predominant religion of areas including such present-day countries as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman, the Muslim invasion of Persia, launched by the Rashidun Caliphate in 633 AD, became a huge event in the history of the region. During these conquests, buildings and books were destroyed. Due to this persecution, Zoroastrians became refugees in India. One of the conditions of their refugee status was that they would not partake in missionary activities or marry outside their community.〔"Global Diversity: Winning Customers and Engaging Employees Within World Markets", by Ernest Gundling, Anita Zanchettin, p. 302, year = 2007〕 During this period, Zoroastrian traders faced execution outside India, including in China where many were killed during the Guangzhou massacre.〔"The Other Middle Kingdom: A Brief History Of Muslims In China" by Chiara Betta, p. 2〕 Today, there are few Zoroastrians in China. The immigration of Zoroastrians to India continued, and by 1477 they had lost all contact with Persia. Not until three hundred years had passed would they come into contact. Zoroastrians also played a notable role during the freedom movements of India.
