There is hardly anything left about Islam , life styles of Rasul Allah or the teachings of ahlebait in our current Bhora religion. I do not see any difference in the two sides.
When I saw the pictures of both the contenders, sitting on takhats, wearing garb that keeps the unable to do any work for other fellowmen himself self. It shows haram khori to the bone. Right there is the height of laziness and all the other bad stuff it brings.
All projects started by both has public investment with little or none from the two contenders.
Br. Show me the beef.
I understand and agree with you that from a fatimi Dawat perspective, the two sides are very similar - gaalis to 1,2 and 3; both claim to be dai-ul-mutlaq (complete control over the religious and secular aspects of their followers), both belive in Sajada, Basically, religion wise, it is very similar.
In other aspects, there are some important differences. SKQ saheb at least wants more accountability and less force for money - at least they are saying that. His children at least work in the real world - daughter (Tahera bensaheba), son (Taher bhai saheb has a farming business, I think), daughter-in-law also did something (like start a school in London), other children too. On the other side, all the people, and thru 3-4 generation the numbers go into several hundreds, a large proportion of them are in the kothar. It disconnects them from the real world and working for a living.
Imam Ali worked for a living, why don't these people? Is he not the ultimate person to emulate?
And if they don't work, and are "professional priests"; I think this professional priesthood for a large number of folks is a problem in my view.
Here is why: What do you or me do when we get up in the morning? We remember our creator (I hope so), get children ready for school, send them to school, and then go to work and do our work. Come home in the evening, spend time with family, do chores, and sleep. What does the professional priest (all the Aamils, bhai sahebs, SED, etc.) do? They get up in the morning and have nowhere to go to work. So they say (just my guess): Let us think of one more scheme to keep ourselves occupied. SED, some scheme or the other, as they have to justify their time and position. And it disconnects them from the travails and triumphs of real work. [I understand that to run any large organisation, you need some staff, but this has gotten out of hand.]
In that aspect too, apart from the things mentioned above, SKQ saheb appears to be better than the other side - that some folks from his family at least work.
Now if only, as haqniwaat says, they would get rid of the shezada and shezadi title, it would be preferable. We could anyway call them with respectable names, but prince and pricesses
Reminds me of the movie Mugal-e-Azam, wher they would say: Shezada Jahangir padhar rahe hai.
