Dastur
A dastūr,[pronunciation?] sometimes spelt dustoor, is a term for a Zoroastrian high priest who has authority in religious matters and ranks higher than a mobad or herbad. In this specific sense, the term is used mostly among the Parsis of India. The term has also been used in a secular sense to refer to a prime minister, minister or government councillor.[1]
The first person to be accorded the title Dastur was
Mobed
