that goes not only for tribals but other shameless minorities who just demand benefits and quota in the name of religion
I can't believe govt of India is spending such huge amount for members of one the richest community in the country for treating something like fertility, where millions of poor Indians - kids, sole bread winners- struggle to treat life threatening deceases.
The ad shown above is downright dis-respectable and the xenophobic ad like the one mentioned in article are shocking. What is even more shocking is nobody is even opposing the program and successive govts have no plan to stop this either. Other end of how our democratic system is abused and another example of why we are almost a failed state.

Mr.AK You have no logic and brains.Saving parsis is no racism;it is a patriotic duty for the reasons mentioned earlier.Since you are not supporting the concept of increasing assets of India you are the liability and the theorem is proved beyond doubt.Got it?

People are people, not assets and liabilities. Parsis should be able to decide freely how many children they want, or whether customs of racial purity in marriage should be followed or not. or even what job to do, what thoughts to think.
Prized breeds of livestock can be national assets, people like you who prejudge based on communities, for good or for bad, are a curse to any neighbourhood, city or nation they live in .

It is not his fault it is his Brahmin up bringing where they are told that lower castes are a liability and only brahmins are a asset to india.

Dear Connan Why do you make irrelevant comments.Are we talking about brahmins or parsis.That why people like you are liability is proved beyond doubt since you make unrelated comments to the subject under discussion which proves that you indeed have low IQ.

Encouraging Parsis to "breed" is not a bad thing. Family planning is a voluntary act; not practising family planning is also a voluntary act. Providing government money for infertility treatments, may not be the best use for government money in a country where there are serious health problems (infant & maternal mortality in some states; long term diseases of the elderly in other ones)
Even so, infertility clinics are run in government hospitals -serving people who go to government hospitals-there is nothing new about the state sterilizing some couples and treating infertility in others.
The problems start when you think about what it reveals about the state, how it sees its citizens. That two different persons can live in this land, breathing the same air, consuming a similar amount of resources, generating the same amount of garbage, voting in the same elections, for the same politicians - and yet by an accident of birth, one is a burden on the earth, and the other is a national treasure
This differential treatment is out in public view. People take their ethical values not from religious teachings from their school days, but also from what a successful majority government does. And what they feel to be the reasons behind those actions
So, it has happened - it is now closer to popular belief that the some of us are more precious, by birth - those who disagree are liabilities with low IQs
That belief has always been there, only it's now considered OK

Dear Mr.David From your long message we get a feeling it appears that while you seem to support the view that parsis are an asset,it cannot be denied that there are many others like terrorists/enemies of society who want to weaken and destroy and also do not want country to prosper.Are they not liabilities and do we need to promote them and suffer in consequence. Those who make irrelelvent comments are obviously with low IQ and there is no need for you to feel sorry for them.
The world is full of strange people. Environmentalists constantly talk about endangered species and their protection, and throw around enormous finances and resources for very little benefits or no benefits at all. The Jews and the Parsis are endangers species among human beings, and the world does not care for them! People are nothing but hypocrites who care for a 100th strain of newts or amphibians going down in number in forty years. They care little for the way the Parsi community or for that matter the Jewish and Anglo-European communities are treated in various parts of the world.
How many population groups have contributed to the Indian DNA pool? How many have ceased to exist as distinct groups over centuries? Why bother about Parsis only? Parsi DNA will continue to exist, even if not in a "pure" form. After all, it is well known that Parsis also have their idiosyncrasies just like everyone else.

Exactly the concept of India is unity in diversity but the brahmin masters only favour one group.
The author seems to have a complaint with BJP whether or not they support their community. Still, I think it is such a backward thought. I don't know who came up with this idiotic idea. Maybe they should put these guys as role models instead and tell other communities to do the same and stop multiplying insanely. We have too much of a population and corruption already.
WHAT A NON-SENSICAL CAMPAIGN, ARE THEY A DYING TRIBALS IN ANDAMAN by Kabeer on Nov 13, 2014 03:54 PM Permalink | Hide replies
What a non-sensical campaign!
Are they a dying illiterate uncivilised small tribe near extinction in Andamans to be saved?
If brahmins of hinguisim or Syeds of Ishlam go for this kind of campaign they would have been lambasted by the society.
Anyways, what are you trying to preserve? The religion part or the ethnicity part?
If it is the religion part allow the children of parsi women who got married outside the community to become Zorastrians by allowing them into the Fire temples. You dont do that and are as chauvinistic as others are.
You dont allow others to adopt your religion by conversion too.
If it is ethnicity that you want to preserve, then stop imbreeding. This imbreeding has resulted in infertility. Still if you want to maintain that ethnicity, get married to Iranians who share your gene pool. Never mind what religion they practise.
A parsi woman friend rightly lashed out at this campaign saying " we are not baby making machines. stop this non-sense"

Parsis have been a great asset to this country and what is wrong in promoting the assets and incentivising their birth rate and add to the asset of the country

Dear Mr.AK You seem to belong to the column of liability.We need to reduce the liabilities in this country and therefore there should be reduction in the liabilities like you.

Genocide [( jen -uh-seyed)]
The deliberate destruction of an entire race or nation. The Holocaust conducted by the Nazis in Germany and the Rwandan genocide are examples of attempts at genocide.
Is TATA paying for those infertility treatment, govt. should come clean on this, ok they have played their roles in development India, especially bombay and other cities, they wholeheartedly opened their vaults for development and did charity, but don't they have their names engraved on it like forever, they are what they are, they are ones who grew on their own, no support whatsover! then why govt. wants to bring disgrace to this wonderful community by tantrums like 'JIYO PARSI' !
Re: Ok what so special about Parsis?

Yeah, seriously! I wonder whose "brain child" is this scheme! TISS, perhaps, and if so, TISS is seriously in need of introspection.
