Description

About The Book: Parsi, Jaina, and Sikh communities in India each represent unique religious traditions. Parsis are followers of Zoroastrianism, a faith originating in Persia, with core beliefs centered around the worship of Ahura Mazda and the practice of good deeds. Jainism, founded by Mahavira, is a religion that prioritizes non-violence (ahimsa), truth, and asceticism, with a focus on spiritual purity. Sikhism, established by Guru Nanak in the 15th century, emphasizes devotion to one God, equality of all people, selfless service, and living an honest and righteous life. Though smaller in number, these communities have greatly enriched India's cultural, social, and economic landscapes, embodying values of peace, compassion, and spirituality.
