In the Naseri era, significant changes have taken place in most areas of Iranian life. the focus of these changes can be found in Zoroastrian’s Collective life of Iran and especially in Yazd because these changes did not just cover the worldly aspects of their lives, but also their collective life. The main issue of this research, which is based on the method of historical sociology, is to describe and explain this changes by emphasizing the role of the Indian Persians. The findings of the study indicate that the few elites were found willing to share their accomplishments in Iran, and particularly in Yazd, for these achievements. They used various methods for influencing the Zoroastrian society of the country and for advancing their changes through a variety of ways, such as: asking for help from Britain lure, bribe, flattery and threat the rulers of the time, take advantage of the Qajar kings' limited attention to social reform and their own initiatives. This Elites at first transform the Zoroastrian community of Yazd through the establishment of Panjaits and through this they were able to bring about wide-ranging reforms in the social, cultural, educational spheres, Zoroastrians restriction and revived religious rituals.
