    Parsi Identity Explained: Law, Gender & Controversy | Cyrus Says | Prochy Mehta & Sanaya Dalal, Sanaya Mehta Vyas

    In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha is joined by Prochy Mehta, Sanaya Dalal, and Sanaya Mehta Vyas for a thought-provoking conversation on identity, law, and gender within the Parsi community. At the heart of the discussion is a critical question: Who gets to be called a Parsi? The episode explores how historical laws and their modern-day interpretations have created a divide—especially when it comes to interfaith marriages and the rights of women. While children of Parsi men are often accepted within the community, those of Parsi women can face exclusion, raising serious questions about equality and fairness. The conversation also touches on ongoing Supreme Court cases that could potentially reshape how identity is defined in the community. From the role of religious institutions to contradictions in policies like the “Jiyo Parsi” scheme, this episode unpacks the complex intersection of tradition, law, and personal choice. A sharp, honest, and often humorous take on a deeply sensitive issue—this isn’t just about one community, but about identity and rights in modern India.
