This is the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India's own 2011 Census data, the government's decennial population enumeration, recording religious and community population figures including the Parsi community's decline from 69,601 in 2001 to 57,264 in 2011. As the issuing government body's own official statistics it is authoritative for the recorded population figures and the categories the census itself defines. Its limit is that it is a headcount rather than a study explaining the causes behind a demographic trend, so a claim about why a community's population is changing needs a source engaging that question directly rather than the census figures alone.
