Among the string of colonies housing Parsis, it's the Dadar Parsi Colony, the largest Zoroastrian enclave in the world, which won a six-year-long legal battle to allow only members of the community to live in this "reserved area."

Of the 45,000 Zoroastrians in Mumbai as many as 15,000 live in Dadar Parsi Colony alone. Even luckier are those who live at Khushroo baug in Colaba, the Wadia Buildings at Hughes Road or at the Godrej baug on Nepeansea Road. The rest have to settle for the other baugs in Byculla, Bandra, Andheri, Jogeshwari and beyond. Millions of Mumbai's citizens would settle - happily. Alas, they aren't Parsis
