Talk:Zubin Mehta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zubin Mahta is from a Parsi family of India with Persian ethnicity. Do not try to hide his ethnicity. Persian is the English word for Parsi in Persian language. Parsis of india left Persia after Islamic occupation. Based on their tradition, Parsis marry Parsis. Like it or not, their ethnicity is persian. As an example look at Jewish people who left their religion and also lived out of Israel for thousands of years and in different countries and married other ethnic groups but still they are considered as member of Jewish ethnic group. Please notice vandalism. More than 100 million people in the world are from Persian ethnicity. --Sina Kardar 13:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry but you are missing the point here. There is absolutely no need for Mehta to be in Category:Persian people as he is already in Category:Parsis. We do not place English people in a Germanic people category. Arniep 18:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jewish?

No, he just conducted the orchestra. He wasnt an Israeli citizen and he wasnt Jewish, just for conducting Israeli musicians. He's an Indian of Persian descent.
