Antequil DuPeron is considered to have rekindled the interest, at least in the West, in scholarship and study of Zoroastrianism. Study and scholarship are vital for the sustenance of any faith. Post Antequil, in the eighteen century scholarship and research in Zoroastrian studies blossomed, not only within the Zoroastrian communities of Iran and India, but also in the West. The community has benefited from this enhancement by having at its disposal rich resources and material which have served the community well for the past century and more to quench its thirst for knowledge. In the past quarter of a century with the departure of stalwart scholars like -------------- scholarship within our community has not blossomed to the extent we would like to see it grow.
