Dawoodi Bohra Forum

I have seen this many times and unfortunately have to say that my parents are one of those people too. They are all like " na thaal ma zagaa nai malsay" if I stop going, so some of them go just to keep their place in the thaal and couldn't really care less about the event. Then there are t...

Thanks for replying to my post everyone - Fortunately, they did not come to our house as I told my parents to stand their ground :D So it looks like this visit is more of a survey of my property than anything else! I have heard the same about keeping a low profile from some others too, so thanks eve...

I believe reform is a gradual process, something which cannot be measured. It is something that people feel rather than something than can be shown - perhaps like happiness? I don't support either side by the way, I am not a reformist or an 'abde' for that matter - just answering the question. I hop...

There is no concern for the future of dawoodi bohrah's. They know how to integrate the next generation into the system - they have been doing this for years. They deliberately give 'positions of power' to younger mumineens so that they feel valued and so that they have some stronger form of connecti...

I apologise if someone has already mentioned this but what does this Saheb E Dawat actually do when he comes round to your house? I have never had one of these round before so I am unsure :? I am not in to this at all but my parents are scared shitless about them coming and when I tell them that the...

I too have a similar problem with the misaaq that they are asking us to take. I have not taken the misaaq and I am the only one in my family to not take it. My parents have both taken the misaaq and attend all events of moharam, ramzaan you name it. The jamaat are now saying that if I don't take the...

The problem is that it is not mandatory here! people are willingly eating this but they think that it will look bad if they don't sign up for that weeks thali as the list goes to amil over here first before they decide to "cook" anything.

Its Bohri women mostly who are the main targets of brainwashing but the men are not far behind either. Here, they always target the women as they are more likely to cave in. They walk around with salaam covers at the ready. I understand the issue with parents saying one thing and then being brainwas...

I am not surprised at all from hearing this. I heard from one person that they were served Ghosh recently which tasted like blood. Other people have also found maggots in their rice. Very unhygienic and I would not eat anything from there EVER. Why waste food like this if you cant be bothered to coo...

Before the other members object and the admin kicks us out of this site I would like to warn AI and other atheists out here that this is a Dawoodi Bohra site and we should respect and keep the discussions limited to the community. Otherwise people may think that we are trying to propagate atheism o...

I totally agree with the views of AgnosticIndian. The bohra community here threaten you by saying that they won't bury you in their graveyard if you go against them but to be honest.... I am past caring. This bohra religion is all I have known in my life - my family, lifestyle, thinking etc. it is a...

As much as i would like to resist and cut myself off from this cult...there is my family that i have to think of...what about my deeply devoted wife and my kid who my wife is painstakingly nurturing to be a devoted Abde! What about my mom, brother and sister who are all very deeply in love with SMS...

They are showing videos of people (probably Shehzadaas) saying la-nuts to the opposition. Each day, a different person gets a turn and this will go on for 40 days.

Most bohra people have been brain washed way too much to be able to do anything at all. It is the younger and upcoming generation that they are trying to take control of in order to secure their future. Now if they try to rebel, they have their parents to answer to - who are too brain washed to let ...
