Religion and Violence in South Asia: Theory and Practice
Do religions justify and cause violence or are they more appropriately seen as forces for peace and tolerance? Featuring contributions from international experts in the field, this book explores the debate that has emerged in the context of secular modernity about whether religion is a primary cause of social division, conflict and war, or whether this is simply a distortion of the ‘true’ significance of religion and that if properly followed it …

This chapter examines the history of the Trust Funds of Europe and Zoroastrians in Great Britain, France, and Germany.

Zoroastrians in East Africa

The earliest arrivals were professionals who for a decade grew into a business community.

Early Zoroastrian Arrivals in Britain
This chapter suggests that there are probably no other religious or ethnic minority groups which have migrated from Asia to Britain and which have had such a close network of both business and intellectual contacts with the British prior to the period of settlement as the Zoroastrians. This chapter deals with three aspects of that early period of settlement before the Second World War, prior to the arrival of the majority of Zoroastrians. During …
