Abstract

A hundred years ago in colonial Bombay, on September 10, 1922, a group of Parsis established an organization called the Iran League. Meant to strengthen ties with their Iranian Zoroastrian coreligionists inside Iran, the Iran League also endeavored to recast wider economic and cultural relations between India and the country which Parsis regarded as their ancient homeland. That ancient homeland, after all, was undergoing seismic change. In the years following Reza Khan's 1921 coup and the establishment of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1925, Parsis watched with growing anticipation and excitement as Iran's new leader increasingly promoted a new national culture rooted in Iran's ancient past. Prominent Parsis, many of them leaders in the Iran League, fervently believed that Pahlavi Iran would herald all sorts of progressive change: improved conditions for the Iranian Zoroastrians, deeper appreciation of Zoroastrianism among Iran's Muslim majority, conditions for significant Parsi investment in Iran, and even the possibility of a mass Parsi “return” to the shah's domain, reversing the direction of centuries of Zoroastrian migration.1

特刊:现代时期的帕西人与伊朗人

一百年前的1922年9月10日，在殖民时期的孟买，一群帕西人成立了一个名为伊朗联盟的组织。为了加强与伊朗境内的伊朗琐罗亚斯德教信徒的联系，伊朗联盟还努力重塑印度与这个被帕西人视为古老家园的国家之间更广泛的经济和文化关系。毕竟，这个古老的家园正经历着翻天覆地的变化。在1921年礼萨汗发动政变和1925年巴列维王朝建立之后的几年里，帕西斯带着越来越多的期待和兴奋看着伊朗的新领导人越来越多地推广植根于伊朗古代历史的新的民族文化。杰出的帕西人，其中许多是伊朗联盟的领导人，热切地相信巴列维伊朗将预示着各种进步的变化:改善伊朗琐罗亚斯德教的条件，伊朗穆斯林占多数的琐罗亚斯德教得到更深入的欣赏，帕西人在伊朗投资的条件，甚至可能大量帕西人“返回”到沙阿的领域，扭转几个世纪以来琐罗亚斯德教移民的方向
