in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam started in a late phase of the
First Indochina War. The history of the development of the Bahá'í Faith
in Vietnam would begin with its arrival out of India more than a century
after its founding in Persia. The first Bahá'í in Vietnam was Shirin
Fozdar, who arrived in February 1954, which was followed by periods of
large growth for the religion in the 1950s and 1960s. With the arrival
of communism the practice of the religion was proscribed, but since 2007
the religion has once again been recognized. As of 2009, it was reported
that the Bahá'í community had about 7,000 followers and 73 assemblies.
