The account

India

The Parsis are Zoroastrians who settled in Gujarat between the 8th and 10th centuries. The Iranis came from Yazd and Kerman to Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad in the 19th and 20th centuries. Persian was the language of the Mughal court, and Persian newspapers appeared in Calcutta and Bombay.
