it is absolutely true. "Aberoo Dari" is not a good enough reason to fool ourselves any other way.

my suggestion would be to have a look at "Two centuries of Silence" by Abdol Hossein Zarinkoob and "Sassanid Persia" by Arthur Emanuel Christensen.

Hard to describe. You can chalk it up to "resentment towards historical events". It saddens me when I think about the forceful change of religion/culture in my country. As for why I'd like for it to make a come back 1. I believe in the core tenets of the religion itself 2. I see it as some kind of "justice being served/ restoration of ancestorial way of life"

What do you think of Iranian zoroastrian? what about Iranians in general? - I'm not a card carrying zoroastrian per se but I have affinity for the religion and I hope one day it will have a big resurgence It was the religion of my ancestors after all
