Abstract	"About 5 years ago, a number of Zoroastrians of Persia (Irânis) in Bombay complained, that some of their compatriots in Bombay follow the religion of Bâb and are adopting Babiism. Those who hold the belief came and saw me and explained their belief. I studied the life and the teachings of Bâb. I learnt from these, and from the conversation I had with the so-called Zoroastrian Babis, that Bâb* who appeared in Persia in the middle of the last century (born in 1824 A.D.) was taken by some of these simple folks to be the Soshyôs [Messiah or Saviour] predicted in the Avesta, and by others to be the Behram Verjâvand alluded to in some of the later Pahlavi and Persian books..."
