1. parsiism

   Parsis () or Parsees are an ethnoreligious group of the Indian subcontinent adhering to Zoroastrianism. They are descended from Persians who migrated to Medieval India during and after the Arab conquest of Iran (part of the early Muslim conquests) in order to preserve their Zoroastrian identity. The Parsi people comprise the older of the Indian subcontinent's two Zoroastrian communities vis-à-vis the Iranis, whose ancestors migrated to British-ruled India from Qajar-era Iran. According to a 16th-century Parsi epic, Qissa-i Sanjan, Zoroastrian Persians continued to migrate to the Indian subcontinent from Greater Iran in between the 8th and 10th centuries, and ultimately settled in present-day Gujarat after being granted refuge by a local Hindu king.Prior to the 7th-century fall of the Sassanid Empire to the Rashidun Caliphate, the Iranian mainland (historically known as 'Persia') had a Zoroastrian majority, and Zoroastrianism had served as the Iranian state religion since at least the time of the Achaemenid Empire. Despite the retreat of many Iranians to the Indian subcontinent, a number of Iranian revolutionary figures such as Babak Khorramdin remained in active rebellion against the Rashidun army and the later Islamic caliphates for almost 200 years after the Arab conquest. However, the decline of Zoroastrianism in Iran continued, and most Iranians had adopted Islam by the 10th century. The word Parsi is derived from the Persian language, and literally translates to Persian (پارسیان, Pārsiān); an Arabized form of the word (فارسی, Fārsī) is used in Persian-speaking regions as an endonym for the Persian language. The Parsi and Irani communities, while being the only ethnoreligious groups adhering to Zoroastrianism in India, are culturally, linguistically, and socially distinct from each other due to the relative recency of the latter community's migration to the Indian subcontinent.

1. parsiism

   Parsiism is not a recognized term in religious or cultural studies. However, it may be incorrectly used or confused with regards to Zoroastrianism, the religion of the Parsi people in India. Zoroastrianism, which was founded by the prophet Zoroaster in the 6th Century BC in Persia, focuses on the teachings of good words, good thoughts, and good deeds. Note that 'Parsiism' wouldn't be the correct term to use. 'Parsi' refers to a member of the group of followers in India of the Iranian prophet Zoroaster.
