Their religious practices include the worship of Ahura Mazda, the supreme god, and they adhere to principles of truth, righteousness, and good thoughts.
Contributions: Prominent figures include industrialists like J.R.D. Tata and social reformers such as Dadabhai Naoroji.
Declining Population: According to the 2011 Census of India, there are 57,264 Parsis (0.06 percent of the population) in India.
