It is believed that they landed on the island of Diu off the south coast of Kathiawar, and that from there they sailed to Gujarat and obtained... permission to settle at a place near Sanjan on the Gujarat coast... From Sanjan, Parsees spread subsequently as settlers and merchants both northwards to places such as Navsari and southwards to the region of the present Bombay. Wherever they settled they established fire temples and by about 1300 AD there were Parsee colonies in various parts of western India. I the early 14th century Moslem invaders defeated the Hindu overlords of the Parsee of Sanjan, and the later had to flee once more. After various vicissitudes they settled at Bansda. " |
