Parsi or Parsee (pronounced /ˈpɑrsiː/) refers to a member of the larger of the two Zoroastrian communities of from the Indian subcontinent, the other being the Irani community. According to tradition, the present-day Parsis descend from a group of Iranian Zoroastrians who immigrated to Western India during 10th century AD, due to persecution by Muslims in Iran. The long presence in the region distinguishes the Parsis from the Iranis, who are more recent arrivals, and who represent the smaller of the two Indian-Zoroastrian communities.
