What is the role of Vaisyas in Hinduism?

Through their Charity and social reform the Parsi community, though small in numbers, has forever impacted the society’s financial, cultural and social life. The modern India is shaped by these people through gender equality, education and healthcare initiatives as well as community development. A more detailed examination of the history, influence and continued relevance of Parsi based philanthropical and social reforms aimed at changing Indian society is provided here.

Historical Context: The Parsis migrated from Persia (now Iran) to India a thousand years ago. They are Zoroastrians who have been involved in a long tradition of charity work and public service grounded on religious beliefs and customs. Despite being a minority group, that did not prevent them from making an impact on various aspects of Indian living dependent upon their Wealth, education or social standing thus elevate the less advantaged in order to achieve justice.

Ancient Charity Efforts: On their arrival to India, the Parsi settlers fight with the need for education, health care and social welfare while at their new home. In reaction to this situation, they formed several charities as well as educational institutions and hospitals to cater for the community’s needs and have a significant impact on society at large.

Among the earliest cases of Parsi philanthropy was in the seventeenth century when the Parsi Panchyat Funds were constituted. These funds offered financial support to needy members within the community for varying purposes such as education, marriage and illness.
