Draft:Zoroastrian population decline


  • Comment: Promising draft, but the "Potential solutions" section reads as non-neutral and un-encyclopaedic, and needs to be trimmed or removed. Please also cite every single statement and paragraph, as some statements may be viewed as a contentious topic about a demographic/ethnicity.

The phenomenon of the Zoroastrian population decline has garnered considerable attention and discussion within academia, literature, and journalism.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

A plethora[buzzword] of studies, conducted by both Indian and Western academics, have offered comprehensive insights into the complex dynamics underlying this demographic shift. Despite some segments of the community hesitating to acknowledge this decline, rigorous examination of census data and demographic studies spanning several decades sheds light on various factors contributing to this trend.[7][8][5]
