Am glad Zoroastrians found their way to India and could save both their lives faith & Persian heritage. My city Mumbai in Indja has the largest number of Zoroastrians today. They gave India the first aviation company, industry, army generals & so many national heros. The Zoroastrians have been a blessing to India.
@@arplays4837 yup indeed at times it can work wonderfully. But all depends on the innate nature of both the host & the migrant culture to build a synchronization. The Tibetan refugees came to India in 1960 , Syrian Christians came during Arab invasion of Syria. Zoroastrians came during the Arab invasion of Persia & Jews came during the Roman invasion of Jerusalem. These 4 groups - Tibetans, Syrian Christians, Zoroastrians & Jews have given India a lot. These societies have blended so well with the local Indic population that one doesn't feel indifference.
As a Zoroastrian (Parsi and first generation American teenager) myself, I fell so touched to know that people still are interested in learning about our ancient religion. I’ve seen so many kind comments about our religion which just makes me feel really special that I’m only one of about 200,000 people left practicing this faith. Also, I would like to remind everyone to be kind to each other regardless of religion as I have seen some fighting over which religion is superior in the comments. Finally, if anyone has questions about my faith, please feel free to comment and ask me! Again, thank you for showing my religion to the world, Sam D

@@dreamwolfnektovich1944 Yes sadly it died out there after the great anti-Buddhist persecution halfway the 9th century. Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism and Nestorian Christianity were also targeted as they were seen as heretical versions of Buddhism.

@Arghya Halder in regards to what india classifies as, india is not an ethno-nation. It is a cultural/racial nation, in the sense that it is the land of Indic indo-aryan peoples. So, ethnically, nepalese are also part of the indo-aryan peoples, which makes them a part of ancient india. So, buddha was born in the nepal region of ancient india. Today's Nepal was the part of the Indic peoples who weren't conquered by the british, and resisted till last breath, so they have their own ethno-nation today. Not forgetting, at least 40% of total nepal ethnic peoples still live in present day india.

It is an interesting fact that Zoroastrianism became extremely strong as the Roman Empire became Christian. With the Romans and Persians at each other's throats, Christianity became associated with the Romans and local Christian churches in Persia became targets of the Sassanids, who also promoted Zoroastrianism to ensure a buffer to the Christian Romans. Then Islam comes and pretty much wipes out most of the Romans but totally obliterates the Persians and Zoroastrianism pretty much dies with the empire of Persia
@@Tatusiek_1 I mean ,the Justinian plague killed 70% of the Eastern Rome Army and 40% of the total population . (Well ,they also had 2-3 others diseases running through the army)
One of the most tragic moments in history. If only the Byzantines and Sassanids had peace and didn't essentially destroy each other's armies, then they could have crushed the Muslims and kept it contained within Arabia, or more optimistically, wiped it out altogether. We could have avoided the dark ages as a result.
While don’t have anything against Islam as a whole, I do however have something against it’s history. So many old empires and unique dialects were assimilated and destroyed due to the caliphate exploding out of Arabia. Edit: Alright I need to point something, since some you cant figure it out yourselves. I’m not saying that islam is the only religion to have ever done this, I was just pointing out that I think its sad reading about islams early history. Does this mean I think islam is bad, no. And yes I am aware of many of the other cultures and religions, christianity has assimilated and destroyed.

@@scintillam_dei Aztecs killed people. Aghoris don't kill. You can't call it a ritualistic cannibalism but scavenging. There are 2 forms of Tantra or, Indian Voodoo. One is Female, another Male. Female outerside raging and dominant, innerside weaker (Don't call me Misogynistic). Male outerside protective yet submissive, innerside stronger. The femine tantra form performers are Kapaliks and in genuine Tantriks, who sacrifice people to gain power from femine supernatural force of nature. That force we hindus call as "Kali", the devourer, killer, slayer bloodthirsty woman (when raging and dominant) as well as a protective, mothering force (when calm and peaceful). This form of power is approachable through blood....hence, the power is weaker according to the religious morale. Tantriks generally do ominous things with their power like a villain. It comes as this voodoo power gives arrogance, pride, powerfullness attitude etc. On the other hand, "Aghori"s follow the wild, rustic form of male supernatural force. It is "Shiva". Shiva is beyond nature and natural limitations (beyond Cosmic concept), so the male force is powerful yet it doesn't look apparently. Aghoris consume not only corpse meat, but also faeces and every disgusting thing you may not imagine. That's how they worship and perform this ritual....pain yourself, not other lives...eat disgusting things so that you don't have arrogance, pride over yourself and your entity....practicing to go beyond own consciousness, not through peaceful calm meditation but by a ritual. Though it looks like voodoo in common, it isn't. It's concept is very deep, method very harsh but not barbaric or, brutal to other lives, doesn't cause pain to others, doesn't let innocent bloodshed......just conquring ownself and going beyond to merge with the supreme male force.

I would like to see a map of the spread and decline of the Indo-European religions. I think that the only place where an Indo-European religion is still going strong is in India (Hinduism).
Hinduism is not entirely Indo-European either. Only Indo-Aryan part of Polytheism and considerable amount of culture is Indo-European. Rest is evolution, appropriation and merger of Pre-Aryan and Aryan cultures. Proto-Hinduisms were a mix of originally Animistic and Polytheistic beliefs which evolved to accept other concepts later on, you cannot or do not have to convert, just believe what you like specifically what and follow. Nobody really can tell what part of Hinduism is Indo-European if that's your real concern.
Yup, the Greeks don’t practice Hellenism anymore, the Iranians don’t practice Zoroastrianism, the Nords don’t practice their Nordic religions anymore. Only Indo-European religion still around is Hinduism.
@@shahriarghasemianbamy1156 While there are a few Iranians who still follow Zoroastrianism the majority don’t. And Iran is an Islamic Republic so not even the county recognizes Zoroastrianism.

@Pourya After the Muslim conquest of Persia, Zoroastrians were given dhimmi status and subjected to persecutions; discrimination and harassment began in the form of sparse *violence.*[11] Those paying Jizya were subjected to insults and humiliation by the tax collectors.[12][13][14] Zoroastrians who were captured as slaves in wars were given their freedom if they converted to Islam.[12] Many fire temples, with their four axial arch openings, were usually turned into mosques simply by setting a mihrab (prayer niche) on the place of the arch nearest to qibla (the direction of Mecca). Zoroastrian temples converted into mosques in such a manner could be found in Bukhara, as well as in and near Istakhr and other Persian cities.[15][full citation needed] Urban areas where Arab governors made their quarters were most vulnerable to such religious persecution, great fire temples were turned into mosques, and the citizens were forced to conform or flee.[16] Many libraries were burnt and much cultural heritage was lost.[17] *Gradually there were increased number of laws regulating Zoroastrian behavior, limiting their ability to participate in society, and made life difficult for the Zoroastrians in the hope that they would convert to Islam.*[17] Over time, persecution of Zoroastrians became more common and widespread, and the number of believers decreased significantly. Many converted, some superficially, to escape the systematic abuse and discrimination by the law of the land.[12] Others accepted Islam because their employment in industrial and artisan work would, according to Zoroastrian dogma, make them impure as their work involved defiling fire.[18] According to Thomas Walker Arnold, Muslim missionaries did not encounter difficulty in explaining Islamic tenants to Zoroastrians, as there were many similarities between the faiths. According to Arnold, for the Persian, he would meet Ahura Mazda and Ahriman under the names of Allah and Iblis.[18] Once a Zoroastrian family converted to Islam, the children had to go to Muslim religion school and learn Arabic and the teachings of the Quran and these children lost their Zoroastrian identity.[12] These factors continued to contribute to increasing rates of conversion from Zoroastrianism to Islam.[19] A Persian scholar commented, "*Why so many had to die or suffer? Because one side was determined to impose his religion upon the other who could not understand*.
@Pourya Fun fact, 96% of the English Wikipedia is correct, also this whole text is backed by a lot of sources, so unless you want to be delusional I suggest that you check all the sources out and accept the truth
@Pourya Pretty sure that there are 108 excerpts from Quran that say that a non-believer should be killed, Islam is the only religion that still leads holy wars against Christians today, for your information they are called Jihads. Christians in Iraq and Syria are being persecuted by Muslims daily and their numbers have fallen from 10 Million to much lower, now take a note, you don't need to even be extremist to commit such acts, as a man who read the Bible and the Quran I can say that those acts were commited by people like us with no commands from the above (some were commited under commands from above, that is also important to mention). So, yes, Islam is NOT a religion of peace if you have read the Quran you would know that anyone who is not a muslim is to be killed, women who disobey their husbands are to be beaten. I repeat again, Islam is not a religion of peace nor progress, it is fundamentlly incompatible with the Western values and if you want to tell me what happened to Christians in the Levant, North Africa, Zoroastrians, Tengris, Hindus and other religions due to Islam please explain all of them or are they "peaceful conversions" to you? Read the Holy Books of Christianity and Islam and you will understand
Aa Christian, I do agree, our religion did forcefully convert, which in my opinion was really wrong, but even so, I'm pretty sure Christians didn't do shit to Zoroastrians.

Perhaps many people think that Zoroastrianism is no longer followed in its birthplace (Iran), but this is not the case. Iranians apparently accepted Islam to be safe from war and slaughter. With the passage of time, they gradually brought their Zoroastrian beliefs into Islam and created the Shia branch from it. Apart from this, nowadays, as we move forward whatever, Iranians avoid Islam and come closer to their old beliefs. AHURA MAZDA is the protector of Iran.
@@Ninjaluga When you don't have enough knowledge, it's better to keep calm and shut your mouth.

@@Ninjaluga What a asinine-psychopath you are! In Saudi Arabia, which is the birthplace of Islam, Shiites have always been in the minority and were not recognized. Why?

Greetings to all my Zoroastrian brothers There are many Zoroastrians in india Our religions are very similar Parsi and vedic religion are very similar Read avesta side by side with rigveda Vedic worshiped indra as supreme god (vedic indra has nothing to do with hindu indra who is just a god of rain) Indra is also called varuna in rigveda. Varuna is called great asur in rigveda The s becoms h in persian Like sindu to hindu Sapt to hapth Even in hindi s becomes h like 70 is called Sattar (सत्तर) but 71 is ikHattar (इकहत्तर) It should be ikSattar (इकसत्तर) but it became ikHattar (इकहत्तर) for s turns into h So asura turns into ahura Also rigveda varuna is called medha And parsi people worship that asura medha (varuna) Calling him ahuramazdha Also ahuramazdha is also called varuna in avesta (And that demonization of deiwas is a later addition)
Because the Indo-Aryans split into India, and Iranians split into Iran. So the initial Vedic religion and Iranian religion will have many things in common, but later many changes occurred after both settled in India and Iran. Indra for example was deranked in India for Vishnu and the Trinity, Iran Indra was deranked for Ahura Mazda, etc.

This is especially possible as he transmitted his teachings through oral tradition and not through writing.

Under the rule of an authoritarian Islamic theocracy, that will never happen. In Iran it is illegal to convert from Islam to another religion, and is often punished by death. Even speaking against Islam is illegal. Islam is too far ingrained into the people and culture that it would be impossible for Zoroastrianism to have a resurgence.
Chinmay That’s where you’re wrong, i have persian friends and they can confirm that the people are largely unhappy with the government and lost faith in Islam, if a great enough uprising starts Iran might finally get rid of it’s backwards theocracy.
Islam isn't really Abrahamic though as the Bible debunks the Quran's claims about Abraham going to Mecca to build the Kaaba (A Pagan Temple). The Bible states that Ishmael & Hagar went to Egypt which he married an Egyptian Woman not into the deserts of Arabia as Islam claims. Muhammad had no connection to the Jews yet he appropriated parts of Judaism & Christianity.
Well try to remember them as long as possible as this religion is in decline. After the rise of Islam Zoroastrianism will never reach the same numbers it once had and will go extinct 😥.

My own explanation is that since ancient times there were three groups of Iranians, the first two of which were mostly in the villages: Farmers Clergymen army men During the Sassanid period, two groups were added to these, which were mostly in the cities: Bureaucrats Craftsmen During the two centuries of Arab rule and two centuries of Iranian Muslim rule, most of Iran's people remained Zoroastrians, and the minority in the cities were Assyrian Christians and Jews. Army soldiers who were not killed in the wars, either went to the north of Iran, or to China and India. Bureaucrats and craftsmen became Muslims earlier because they were in the cities and in contact with Muslims. Clergymen and farmers in the villages remained Zoroastrians because they had no contact with Muslims. With the attack of the Turks and their slaughter, the ratio of Zoroastrians and Muslims was almost equal. In the west of Iran, mostly Shafi'i and in the east mostly Hanafi, and still a minority in the cities, both Christian and Jewish. At the time of the Mongol invasion, because they massacred many cities, and because they removed strict laws against Zoroastrians, the ratio of Muslims to non-Muslims decreased. In the period after the Mongols until Shah Abbas I, this relationship was maintained: One is because the killing continued in the cities, especially in Khorasan. And secondly, many Turks went to Samarkand and Herat, the Timurid capitals, as well as to Anatolia and the Levant to fight against the Ottomans and Mamluks. Until a thousand years after the Arab invasion (the time of Shah Abbas I), which occurred due to the harshness of the second round of Zoroastrian migration to India. From this time until now, the Christians of Iran were mostly Armenians, not Assyrians. Those Zoroastrians, Christians and Jews who survived, gradually became Shiites and this process continued until the time of Naser al-Din Shah in the late 19th century.
a small community of Armenian Zoroastrians survived up till 1914 in anotolia , they had maintained the religion after Armenia became christian . Sadly they were murdered by the turks in the Armenian genocide .
I was just researching about the Parthians, Kushans, and Hephthalites yesterday. I wanted to know how long Zoroastrianism lasted in Afghanistan and Central Asia because of how they were under Buddhist and later Muslim influence. Thank you.
