Fire worshippers use their tower of silence to leave their dead to be eaten by vultures and other carnivorous birds. Unlike Hindus who consign their dead to flames and muslims bury their dead.This particular community though with its dwindling numbers are more orthodox than Hindu Brahmins. Our Great Mr Ratan Tata belongs to this community, is a bachelor and giving nano car to poor.
