Parsis, followers of Zoroastrianism, a small religious community which exists largely in Mumbai, were exiled from Iran in the 7th century AD due to religious persecution by Muslims. The Indian followers of Zoroastrianism are called Parsis because the religion arrived in India from Persia. (AFP/Punit Paranjpe)
