Parsi Feminine Types at Bombay

The Parsis, or Zoroasirians, ivcrc originally natives of Persia, as is shown by their name; but they were driven front Iran by the Moham- medan conquest and took refuge in India, particularly in the Bombay Presidency, where they form a prosperous community of nearly a hundred thousand souls. Their progressive spirit is shown by the educational facilities and freedom enjoyed by the Parsi women. Some idea of the Parsi feminine type in Bombay may be gathered from this picture of six sisters.
