International Sahaja Public School, Dharamshala
Tracing the imprints of ancient history in Nargol, we get to know that it had been an active port in the past. The Parsi Community migrated from Persia & landed on the shores of Nargol first then spread south to Sanjan and north to Udvada. By the end of the 7th century, the mighty Sassanian Empire had been vanquished by Arab invaders. Many people of the Zoroastrian faith were consequently killed. Those who survived fled to the mountains of Iran. They were hounded out from there too, and after a brief respite in the town of Hormuz, they set sail for the friendly shores of India. The ship that carried them was soon enveloped in a massive storm. The ship was rocked but not their faith. They prayed till the storm passed. And suddenly they discovered that they were washed ashore on the welcome shores of Nargol in Gujarat.
