Why Kotharis go to Jahannum!!

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

A Progressive bohri died and, much to her surprise, found herself at the Pearly<br>Gates facing St. Peter. He walked up to her and said, "Hello, and welcome."<p>She stared at St. Peter in complete confusion. "Wait a minute," she<br>said. "I was supposed to end up in the Summerlands."<p>He smiled. "Ah, you must be one of our Progressive bohri sisters. Follow me,<br>please."<p>St. Peter gestured for her to follow him down a small path which went through the gates and down a bit to the left. They walked for a short while, then he stepped back and gestured her forward.<p>Looking past his hand, she saw the verdant fields and forests of her desired Summerlands. She saw people feasting, dancing, and making merry, exactly as she expected.<p>While shaking her head in wonder, the Progressive bohri woman happened to glance<br>over to one side and saw a small group of people a short way away from the edge of the Summerlands. The people in the group were<br>watching the revelers, but not joining them. Instead, they were screaming mean remarks, and weeping piteously (poor josh matam!!)<p>The Progressive bohri looked at St. Peter. "Who are those people?"<p>St. Peter replied, "Them? They're Kotharis. They're a bit surprised to see you all there, so they stand there and carry on like that all day. It never ends; there they stand each day, complaining, gossiping and whinning about your progressive people's revelry and "sinful" ways."<p>"Why? Don't they have better things to do?"<p>Peter leaned conspiratorially toward her. "They don't really have a choice. They're actually in Hell, made real by their attitudes remarks and imposing their unIslamic ways on the others. See, God doesn't like being told what He thinks!"<p><br>
