Did you know that Queen’s Freddy Mercury was a Zoroastrian from Zanzibar? One must wonder if his four extra teeth had anything to do with the fact that Indian Zoroastrians are endogamous.
(They don’t marry outside their community because in the 8th century when they were seeking a place to locate as refugees, they promised the ruler of the area that they would not be missionaries and they wouldn’t marry outside of their community. 1300 years later, they are still keeping that promise. Wow.)
In general, I think the world could use more Zoroastrians.
