The orientalist scholar Edward Granville Browne (1862-1926) visited Yazd in 1887-8, and left a record of the oppression. For instance, he relates that a Zoroastrian was bastinadoed for accidentally touching with his infidel garment some fruit that was for sale in the bazaar. (5) The fruit was considered unclean for Muslims to eat. A code of untouchability was effectively in force. This was after the 1882 repeal, when conditions became comparatively relaxed. Browne also relates that about twelve years prior to his visit, the Muslims of Yazd had threatened to sack the Zoroastrian quarter and kill all those infidels who would not embrace Islam. This incident arose because a Muslim was allegedly killed by a Zoroastrian. The governor of Yazd professed himself powerless to protect the minority. Peace was restored when the majority were in shock that a Muslim was executed for killing a Zoroastrian woman. (6)

Going back a little earlier in time, in 1848, and during a period of turbulence following the death of a Qajar monarch, many Zoroastrians "were at that time robbed, beaten, and threatened with death unless they became converts to Islam; a large number were killed." (7) Much of the brutality on such occasions seems to have been perpetrated by the roughnecks known as lutis, who were part of a diverse urban phenomenon in Qajar Iran, varying from ideals of justice to violent behaviour. (8)

In view of the general hazards and hardships they faced, it is really not surprising that "a few Zoroastrians seem to have left their homes and hereditary holdings to seek a rugged shelter in the mountains surrounding the Yazd plain." (9) According to Hataria, many Zoroastrians lived in mountain caves and forests. The statistics are elusive.

In 1903, another traveller to Yazd was Abraham V. Williams Jackson (1862-1937), the pioneering Iranist scholar in America. In his Persia Past and Present (1906), Jackson records that, despite improved conditions, the oppressed minority were still not permitted to ride in the streets, and were still subject to many petty annoyances. He says there were now over 8,000 Zoroastrians in Yazd.

By Jackson's time, the Zoroastrians in Yazd city looked like Muslims, wearing turbans. He describes the "low rolled turban which is characteristic of the Persian Zoroastrians." This apparel was not favoured by Parsis in India. Jackson also describes in his book how the Zoroastrian leader at Yazd had servants and fine Persian rugs. Such luxuries were not enjoyed by rural Zoroastrians.

آمون : به طور خلاصه، داستان فلک زدن زرتشتی در یزد به جرم لمس میوه های مسلمانان است و شرایط سخت که حاکم یزد هم قادر به صیانت از اقلیت زرتشتی کمتر از 8 هزار نفر نیست، فرار زرتشتیان به کوه و بیابان و جنگل از دست فشارهای مسلمانان و در زمان جکسون نیز، ظاهر کمی مشابه به مسلمانان با عمامه سبک تر از مسلمانان.
