AUG 16: On the auspicious occasion of Navroz, the Parsi New Year, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi extended his warm wishes to the Parsi community and to the entire nation. Taking to social media platform X, the Prime Minister conveyed his heartfelt message, reflecting the spirit of unity and appreciation for cultural diversity in India.
The Prime Minister wrote:
“Warm wishes on the commencement of the Parsi New Year! We are all proud of the enduring contributions of Parsis to our nation. May this year bring happiness, prosperity and good health to all. Navroz Mubarak!”
Navroz, which marks the beginning of the Parsi calendar year, is celebrated with great enthusiasm by the Parsi community across India and the world. It is a time for renewal, gratitude, and hope for a brighter future. Families gather to share traditional meals, visit fire temples, and seek blessings for well-being and prosperity.
PM Modi’s message acknowledges the rich legacy and invaluable contributions of the Parsi community, which has played a vital role in India’s development in sectors ranging from business and science to philanthropy and the arts. Leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji, Homi Bhabha, and J.R.D. Tata continue to inspire generations with their dedication and service to the nation.
The Prime Minister’s Navroz greetings are a celebration not just of a festival, but of India’s pluralism, where every community’s culture and traditions are honored and cherished.
As the Parsi New Year begins, hopes are high for a year filled with peace, health, and collective progress for all
