A major theme is the increase in philanthropy directed to the Zoroastrians of Iran by the Parsis and the involvement of the British in encouraging Parsi feelings of patriotism towards Iran. Not only were Parsis affected by events taking place in Iran, they also contributed to the broader change in attitudes towards Zoroastrians in that country.<\/p><p>Using a variety of original sources from Britain, India and Iran, this book examines the political, legal, and social position of Zoroastrians in Iran and how different events impacted their attitudes as well as the attitudes of Parsis towards their ancestral homeland.<\/p><p>Of particular significance were the seminal years of the Iranian Constitutional Revolution (1906-11) and the rise in the glorification of the pre-Islamic past, culminating in the state nationalism expounded by Reza Shah. The event will be followed by a light reception and an opportunity to purchase the book.<\/p><p>Register to attend online:<\/p><div style=\"color: blue;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soas.ac.uk\/about\/event\/book-launch-zoroastrianism-india-and-iran-alexandra-buhler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.soas.ac.uk\/about\/event\/book-launch-zoroastrianism-india-and-iran-alexandra-buhler<\/a><\/div><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"sws_supernormalaction\"><button on=\"tap:superwebshare-lightbox\" class=\"superwebshare_normal_button1 superwebshare-button-lg superwebshare-button-default superwebshare_prompt superwebshare_button_svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color: #BD3854;\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"superwebshare-svg\"  fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M789.86,323.67c91.79,0,164.25-72.46,164.25-164.25S881.64,0,789.86,0S625.6,72.46,625.6,164.25c0,4.83,0,14.49,0,24.15L306.76,371.98c-24.15-24.15-57.97-33.82-96.62-33.82c-91.79,0-164.25,72.46-164.25,164.25s72.46,164.25,164.25,164.25c38.65,0,72.46-14.49,96.62-33.82L625.6,821.26c0,9.66,0,14.49,0,19.32c0,86.96,72.46,159.42,159.42,159.42s159.42-72.46,159.42-159.42s-67.63-159.42-154.59-159.42c-33.82,0-67.63,9.66-96.62,33.82L374.4,526.57c0-9.66,0-19.32,0-24.15s0-14.49,0-24.15l318.84-188.41C717.39,314.01,751.21,323.67,789.86,323.67z\" \/><\/svg><span>Share<\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 November, 6:30 pm, SOAS, Brunei Gallery, room B104 \u00a0 This book examines the cultural, religious, and political ties between the Zoroastrian communities of Iran and the Zoroastrian communities of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2931,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"content_types":[],"class_list":["post-2930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2930"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2945,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2930\/revisions\/2945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2930"},{"taxonomy":"content_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ancientirannews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content_types?post=2930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
