From 1854 the Bombay Amelioration Society’s mission, as Iranica’s Hataria article records, and later Parsi educational foundations made schools. He did not endow Bombay. Access path of high confidence on the institutions existing.

Context

Twin of later minority-pressure. This stores Parsi schools as access.

Zoroaster is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

An 1854 Parsi mission is not a Gatha.
