The book opens with a brief vignette highlighting an approach to the city, property, giving, and the expansive way in which the trust moves through the city, religious life, and the book itself. What would it mean to understand the trust as offering a horoscope to the city? The Introduction then moves on to lay out the basic structure of trusts as legal instruments and their inheritances from three distinct socio-legal histories: Zoroastrian forms of religious charity, English law, and Islamic concepts of giving and keeping. It will briefly introduce the reader to the Parsi community in India and their specific status as a minority in the city.
