The author takes the reader through a detailed analysis of the court cases and seeks to reveal through transcripts, the true picture of the community. She unveils the history of an ancient Persian trading community, the ‘Persees’ or ‘Persians’, familiar with the sea route to India from before 500 BCE, living as a tribe among the Hindus, and narrates how they rediscovered their religion and their ancient connect with Persia — how, in the 19th Century, they read their recently translated holy book, Gathas, and understood that they were the followers of Ahura Mazda, the one God, who preached a religion for all mankind. The epiphanic realization dawned upon them that the greatest ‘meritorious act’ performed by a follower of Ahura Mazda was to bring an alien into the faith.
