Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court
Stop referring to YouTube and get on with life. Your life will be easier if you stop worrying about religion, heaven and hell. Don't make life on earth a hell for rewards of a "heaven" after death. I am writing as many times I do only because I reflect and my conscious or conscience guides...

Re: New Mazoon appointment
People have forgotten that there is a lost of Mazoon. It's all about Dai now. Mazoon post was discredit. In any case, it's the Kothari insider politics that's preventing any early decision.

No this case is different. It's about human rights. The case is getting wide coverage. Life in prison for the doctors in US will give a further impetus.

These doctors are as much victims of one man's rigidity and tyranny as they are culprits. The whole situation is just sad. Which "one man" are you talking about? The practice of FGM is deeply rooted in the Bohra theology, going back to centuries, all the way back to the Fatimids in Egypt....
