Zoroastrians gradually enjoyed more social rights, and some of them were
able to relate to the business of the city of Yazd, Get the right social. With the
victory of the Constitutional Revolution, and because of Zoroastrian financial
and political support for the movement, their situation in the community
improved and even reached the seat of the first assembly of the National
