During the Raj, one group stands out as having prospered because of British rule: the Parsis. The Zoroastrian people adopted the manners, dress, and aspirations of their British colonizers, and were rewarded with high-level financial, mercantile, and bureaucratic posts. Indian independence, however, ushered in their decline.

Excerpt from History of the Parsis, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Their Manners, Customs, Religion, and Present Position IN placing before the great English reading public this history Of my own race and people I feel that I Shall not have to apologise for having selected a subject in which they feel no interest. The name Of Parsi is known not merely for the recent claim of loyalty to the British Government, although we are content to make that our best claim, but also by the honourable position which some Of the greatest English writers have accorded the Parsis, or ancient Persians, among the leading nations Of the world. If explanation is due from me, I feel rather that it Should be of a personal character as to why I have undertaken this work, and not as to whether the history Of the Parsis Should be recorded in an ample manner from the early period Of sovereign independ ence down to the present day of prosperous security and enlightened contentment.
