"Wake up Parsis, wake up".
One hundred years ago, when India was a slave state under the British rule and modern resources were not available, Parsi forefathers donated their personal wealth, land and properties for charitable works, established hospitals at Mumbai, Surat, Navsari and several other towns as charitable institutions, the benefits of which were used for decades to treat sick patients and provide maternity hospitals to the citizens. Pictures given here are of defunct like Parsi Lying in Hospital in Mumbai and Parsi Hospital at Surat.
Today, the population of Parsis has been decreasing for many years or is migrating from Parsi areas to other new areas, is this policy of deliberately keeping these Parsi hospitals inactive to rust, relying on medical equipment and age-old diagnostic tools from the time of Bawa Adam, turning these hospitals and their vast lands into urban forests and allowing them to remain ruins for anti-social activities, and the apathetic and negative attitude of the current trustees or inefficient administrators of those hospitals?
They should think about it and if they do not have the talent or ability to equip these large charitable institutions of the Parsi community with modern medical equipment and new resources including reconstruction and make them functional for the benefit of the members of the Parsi community along with the citizens of the entire society, then such administrators or trustees have no right to remain in their positions.
It is an appeal to the well-educated gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen of the Parsi community and the youth and girls of Gen Z to become active towards their rights, completely free these large charitable institutions, defunct hospitals of the Parsi community from the mismanagement of their current inactive trustees, integrate our Parsi hospitals with the well-known institutions/hospital groups of the country providing advanced health care services and make them functional for the benefit of all citizens including the Parsi community.
