Abstract or Description
The Parsis, members of one of India's oldest faiths, are fighting to keep alive their centuries old death ritual - the feeding of dead bodies to vultures on top of the Towers of Silence in Bombay.
Bombay-born novelist Ardashir Vakil journeys to the Towers to follow this extraordinary ritual, and tells the story of the wider Parsi struggle for survival in today's world.
