What were the challenges faced by Zoroastrians in Persia after the Islamic conuest?
After the Sassanid Empire fell to Arab Muslim forces in the mid-7th century, Zoroastrians faced several challenges. They had to face forced conversions to Islam and pay religious taxes called jizya. Their fire temples were destroyed, and they faced social and legal marginalisation. This persecution forced them to leave Persia and seek refuge in India.
