The Parsis of Lahore
With only 15 Parsis remaining in Lahore, this once-thriving community is facing extinction. Mrs. Perin Boga has graciously opened her doors to share the forgotten tales of the Parsi community, recounting their rich history and how life was in earlier times. Her insights provide a poignant glimpse into a culture on the verge of fading away.
