초록

The paper delves into the possibility of ethical behavior by examining Hindu far-right politics and its conflict with minorities like Parsis in postcolonial India. Disillusioned with corruption and injustice, Yezad’s turn to Zoroastrianism and his attendant binary thinking on good and evil are analyzed in this context. To that end, the paper addresses the long-standing issue of good and evil in the postcolonial Parsi context, in a critical manner from the perspective of Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of will-to-power reflected in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In this process, it both questions and raises the possibility of a new ethical subject by dealing with not only individuals’ choice and ethical experience but their limits.
