Abstract: The declining of Parsi population has become a serious question before India in general and Parsi community in particular. Since 1990 questions were started being raised about this decreasing population among the community and about the solution to it. The community experienced 33% fall in its total population in 50 years. A demographic module has been created to look into the subject. The module found that there are certain sociological issues because of which the progress of the community is jammed. The census of 2001 came with the opportunity for Parsis, because for the first time census was calculated on the basis of religion and provided all important demographic details regarding different age groups, crude birth and death rate figures, male female ratio as well as literacy sand working population figures.
