Although numbering fewer than 60,000 in a city of over 12 million, Mumbai’s Parsi community is one of the largest private landowners in the city due to its network of public charitable trusts. This book explores how the Parsi charitable trusts in Mumbai shape and constrain the life and death of the Parsi community and the city as a whole.
