Wikipedia's article on the Parsis, community-edited. Reliable for the standard account of their establishment of Bombay as the community's commercial and religious centre in the early eighteenth century, anchored to Rustom Maneck's 1702 appointment as the East India Company's first broker there and the 1728 founding of the Bombay Parsi Panchayet; explicit that the earlier migration from Persia to Gujarat itself has no settled date, naming three competing scholarly proposals, 716, 765 and 936 CE, rather than one, since its own foundational text, the Qissa-i Sanjan, was composed at least six centuries after the fact.
