The author at her best is trying to tell India had nothing of its own and all the good things including Irani samosa and pyar and mohabbat in Indian lives came from outside.
there seem to be no end to this pseudo pragmatism. Farsians came to India as refugees because moghuls tortured their lives within 15 years of their conquest.
But they were given the best treatment which every phoren person get in this soil. Best location for their homes and shops and almost tax free living even today for all those big homes they own in walkeshwar and chowpatti along the marine drive.
At best the author could have questioned when we treated them so well why are we getting treated like thieves when you go there?

Completely agree with you, Parsis were forced to leave their home country like Pandits were hoarded away from KAshmir. Iran has a great history and very ancient civilisation like India. Post Inquilab entire country is taken over by izlami radicals and they literally destroyed their great country. Nobody to blame but only it people.
