Re: Protest Against Mufaddal's Visit

I know nothing will come out of this protests infact when he will return India this event will be again celebrated as one more fateh mubin and how "dawat naa dushmano" could not do any thing to him. Yes we know nothing will come out it, but we must continue to protest. It will create awar...

I venture to ask if Ruksana's enlightenment, liberation and achievements could have been realised if she has had not moved to the U.S. Although the same environment did nothing to diffuse her husband's allegiance to Kothar's dictats.

Re: Keepers of the Faith - A Novel - Must Read

I have just started reading this book. So far it has not gripped me but I am hopeful. I feel this book will have a limited readership as the plot revolves around a pitiful small community, its corrupt leader and his dealings. Its circulation will be limited to gloating separatists simply because it...

Re: Keepers of the Faith - A Novel - Must Read

This book was launched in Udaipur in Feb this year during the reformist conference. I've read it and must say that it captures the Bohra reality in a way no other non-fiction book can. The story of two lovers separated by religious strife is relatable and heartbreaking. The plot is well structured a...

Bohras protest with black flags ahead of Mufaddal's visit in Kharakua, Ujjain.
