This was the fourth trip run by the Return to Roots program and the largest in terms of group size. Started in 2012 by a small group of passionate volunteers, and supported by Parzor, the inaugural journey was held from December 2013 to January 2014 to coincide with the World Zoroastrian Congress in Bombay, India. The success of the trips is apparent not only in the transformational experiences of the participants but the overwhelming support of the community. This report will provide the details of that success and the plans for the program’s growth. We hope that after reading these pages you will feel as inspired and motivated to act as we have. Sincerely, The Zoroastrian Return to Roots Team, 2017 3 RTR Annual Report - 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As we look back on four successful trips of Return to Roots, we are reminded, now more than ever, of the countless people who have lent their support and their time to make sure that the youth on each of these trips have an unforgettable experience. All we can offer to those many volunteers and believers who have built this program is our grateful thanks and the hope that reward comes most meaningfully in its success.

  • FEZANA Journal Winter 2013 Issue
    o%o**n $n,nro,f,n41e ZOROASTRIAN RETURN TO ROOTS Sasan Jahanian & Diana Vania The Zoroastrian Return to Roots (RTR) program is a youth-led initiative that brings together students and young professionals to experience the past, present, and future of our admired and successful community. Designed for Zarathushti youth who live in the diaspora, the RTR program aims to 'return, reconnect, and revive' the religion and community. The first-ever Roots trip took place from 23 December 2013 to 6 January 2014 and included the World Zoroastrian Congress. During the inaugural tour, RTR Fellows from Canada, the United Kingdom, USA, and Pakistan explored various significant Zoroastrian historical, religious, cultural, and archaeological sites. With the support of scholars and archeologists, Fellows travelled along the paths of their Parsi ancestors from Nargol to Sanjan, Udvada, Surat, Navsari, and Mumbai over a period of two weeks. For many of the participants, this experience provided insight into the positive influence the Parsis have had on the development of lndia, as well as enabled them to learn about our different religious practices. RETURN As the 2013 Zoroastrian RTR program neared its inaugural tour, Fellows were excited and anxiously awaiting the start of the program. For some participants, this was their first time to lndia. Some had visited wiih their families before, but very few have had the chance to be immersed in our history and culture, which made this adventure fascinating. Participants were eager to visit the exact spot where Zarathushtis landed on the lndian shores of Nargol (Fig. 1). They also followed the path to Sanjan where Zarathushtis were granted asylum by the Hindu king Jadav Rana in the famed "sugar in milk" story.

  • Biodiversity of Coastal Areas of Valsad, South Gujarat
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2018): 7.426 Biodiversity of Coastal Areas of Valsad, South Gujarat Ayantika Das1, Jigna Desai2 1, 2Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Department of Biosciences, Surat, India Abstract: The present study documents the diversity and quantitative assessment of fringing mangroves in these nine different estuarine regions of Valsad district of South Gujarat. The most outstanding feature of our study is that we observed four species of mangrove and sixspecies of mangrove associate namely Avicennia marina, Sonneratia apetala, Salvadora persica, Acanthus illicifolius, Ipomoea pes caprae, Sesuviarum portulacastrum, Clerodendrum inerme, Derris heterophylla, Cressa cretica,and Aeluropus lagopoides.The dominant mangroves in these areas are Avicennia species and Acanthus illicifolius.Earlier works included Rhizophora mucronata which was not found during this study in any of the nine spots of mangrove forests.We have used the Jaccardian similarity index to analysis the floral diversity of our mangrove sites. Our studyhighlighted the relation between water quality parameters, environmental and anthropogenic stress and speciescomposition and structures of mangrove. Keywords: Quantitative assessment, anthropogenic pressures,water quality parameter 1. Introduction indicates that mangroves can change over from C3 to C4 photosynthesis under salt stress. Mangroves are prolific seed According to Chapman. 1976 coastal vegetation in India is producer that has higher viability as compared to other types categorized as – (1) marine algae(seagrasses) of littoral and of plants, also they are quick to attain height and biomass sublittoral zone, (2) algal vegetation of brackish and (Alongi. 2002). saltwater marshes, (3) vegetation of sand dunes, (4) vegetation of drift lines, (5) vegetation of shingle beach, (6) Though they breed sand flies and mosquitoes their benefits vegetation of coastal cliffs, rocky shores and coral reefs exceed their few disadvantages.

  • Accountability for Mass Violence Examining the State’S Record
    Accountability for mass violence Examining the State’s record By Surabhi Chopra Pritarani Jha Anubha Rastogi Rekha Koli Suroor Mander Harsh Mander Centre for Equity Studies New Delhi May 2012 Preface Contemporary India has a troubled history of sporadic blood-letting in gruesome episodes of mass violence which targets men, women and sometimes children because of their religious identity. The Indian Constitution unequivocally guarantees equal legal rights, equal protection and security to religious minorities. However, the Indian State’s record of actually upholding the assurances in the secular democratic Constitution has been mixed. This study tries to map, understand and evaluate how effectively the State in free India has secured justice for victims of mass communal violence. It does so by relying primarily on the State’s own records relating to four major episodes of mass communal violence, using the powerful democratic instrument of the Right to Information Act 2005. In this way, it tries to hold up the mirror to governments, public authorities and institutions, to human rights workers and to survivors themselves. Since Independence, India has seen scores of group attacks on people targeted because of their religious identity1. Such violence is described in South Asia as communal violence. While there is insufficient rigorous research on numbers of people killed in religious massacres, one estimate suggests that 25,628 lives have been lost (including 1005 in police firings)2. The media has regularly reported on this violence, citizens’ groups have documented grave abuses and State complicity in violence, and government-appointed commissions of inquiry have gathered extensive evidence on it from victims, perpetrators and officials.
