List of Parsis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freddie Mercury (Farrokh Bulsara) was probably the best-known Parsi throughout the world.

This is a list of notable Parsis. The Parsis constitute one of the Zoroastrian communities of the Indian subcontinent and abroad that originated from the groups of people from Persia who sought refuge from religious persecution through migration to other countries after the Arab/Islamic conquest of Persia; the other later Iranian Zoroastrian migrants are Irani.
