This booklet which i do not have a hold of is taken out by cronies of Adam Peerbhoy, please give some proof that it was made Public by then Syedna(aq). If today Reformists bring out a book and on cover page they write Mr. Engineer's name as the true leader of the Bohra's will it hold any water, say after 125 years??
S. Insaf wrote:From the cover page of booklet attached here you can very well see that:
1) There is no TUS or Dai-ul-Mutlaq after 49th Dai’s name.
2) There no claim of Dai being vicegerent of Imam in seclusion any where.
3) There is no Abde-Syedna before Seth Adamji’s name.
4) Sallamullah-o-Ta’allah is used both for Dai as well as common Bohra, Seth Adamji.
In the first line of his name he writes Sakhi Datar (most generous) and for all the above 4 points, it only shows how Adam PeerBhoy used to think highly of himself. He has used the same titles for Syedna(aq) and himself and if he writes or not TUS or Dail Mutlaq does not change the facts, its his booklet he can write whatever he wants.
where has present Stream shown any allergy to word "Reform", Infact In last 2 Syedna's era dawat has gone through many reforms against which you are fightingS. Insaf wrote:5) 49th Dai, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb used to stay at Surat in Devdi and Seth Adamji in Bombay in Peerbhoy Palace . So the booklet has ‘Press Line’ of Bombay ’s Al-Bayan Press.
6) Boldest letters are of “Sudhara naa Kaaydaa” – ‘Reformed Customs”, clearly showing that earlier Dais had no allergy or hatred with word “Reform”.
these kind of pamphlet were a common sight in that era as Dawat was not centralised in the way its today, so today all such farmans come from Dawate Hadiya and hold more weight then coming from the landlords of the areaS. Insaf wrote:7) The reform was for the Bohras of the areas of Sir Adamji’s influence, Kathiyawad, Jhalawad, Halwad and Sorth.
Reason for the urgency of this reform was the incoming prosperity in the community at the threshold of 20th Centaury and lavish spending by neo-rich Bohras during marriages, majlis, fateha jaman etc on one side and acute poverty and indebtness of their Dai on the other side.
Dais before 50th Dai were poor and in debt and it took a lot of efforts on the part of Syedna Badruddin to clear off the debt, The sole reason was that Dawoodi Bohras as a community were not prosperous enough and dawat was not centralised as of today.S. Insaf wrote:Dais before 51st Dai were so poor and helpless that in 1891 an Amil of 49th Dai, Sheikh Abdul Tyeb tried to put him in Jail for non-payment of his loaned amount of Rs. 50,000 given on simple interest amounting to Rs. 4000 – total Rs. 54000.
(Justice Martin in Chandabhoy Galla had observed that 49th Dai neither excommunicated this audacious Amil nor stopped his vazifa by Jamat and nor punished him. This clearly establishes that there was no concept excommunication or Jamatkharij and it is of recent addition.)
