"After the Muslim conquest of Iran in the 7th century, devoted Zoroastrians emigrated
to India, where the growing community came to be known as Parsis. This Parsi settlement
had increasingly little contact with Iran over the succeeding centuries until the
19th century, when a romanticized notion of their ancestral homeland led them to reestablish
contact with Iran and the remaining Zoroastrians there. The Parsis had thrived under
British rule of India and so they were able to strengthen their ties to Iran with
philanthropic work. Meanwhile, Iranians were coming to romanticize their own ancient
history and saw the Parsis as a living embodiment of this history. The Iranian neo-classicism
of the 20th century that helped to establish a sense of Iranian national identity
is usually ascribed to European contact, but Marashi argues that this growing relationship
with the Parsi community was an important element that influenced the development
of modern-day Iran"
