As Zarthushtis, what are our responsibilities? Is it possible to stay true to our religion and keep up with change?

Wearing a thin sudreh or kushti is moderate but it is disgusting to see a Bawa in the same Sudreh Kushti smoking brazenly standing on his verandah in full public view,or inducing a ghatin servant as his livin partner in a charitable colony built by a philantrophic devout Zoroastrian with the sole aim that his fellow bretherens would live their lives and follow his principles of a true Zoroastrian in the protected environs of his Parsee baug.Or a young educated Bawi walking away in marriage with a non Zoroastrian without batting an eyelid.
The need of the hour is a strong Religious Head in our community just like the Bohras or bahais who have multiplied in lakhs in the last decade.
may AhuraMazda bless our community memebers with foresight and good sense.
