"There is unity in diversity in Parsi language. It creates a new culture with Sanskrit. Elements of a global culture are there in Parsi language," Naidu said addressing community members on the concluding day of the three-day Iranshah Udvada Utsav at Udvada in Valsad district.
He honoured Padma Bhushan Dr Farukh Duvadiya on the occasion by presenting him a shawl and said it is the endeavour of the government to make Udvada a global destination. It was in 1742 that Parsis landed at Udvada from Iran and they then made India their karmabhoomi. "Now state and central governments are making efforts to convert Udvada into a global destination," he said appealing to all communities to work together for the creation of a new India.
Vada Dasturji Khurshed Dastur Kekobad Dastoor welcomed all and promised contribution of members of his community in all fields. A number of top officials from Daman and Valsad districts and also elected representatives attended the event.
