Dream Project of Bhendi Bazar

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.

Total revenue is 2500 crores, not the net revenue.

Let me take you back to another mega project, it was agha khan hospital in karachi. Funded by agha khan foundation. Aga khan foundation got the land from former dictator zia ul haque (Syedna saheb was also very friendly with him) free of cost. The land is situated in the prime locality in karachi. it spreads in tens of acres, the land cost was estimated in 1982 to be more than 100 million dollars. Agha khan foundation built the hospital at the cost of 250 million dollars, which was recovered in just 3 years. Presently agha khan foundation owns in toto this multi billion dollar facility. it is employing thousands of agha khanis and providing medical service to them at nominal cost if they can not afford. On the contrary our saifee hospital in mumbai is reserved for an elite class though every bohra has contributed towards it. I have gathered that in saifee hospital bohras are not prefrential employees, rather all major departments have alien heads. Neither are bohras given medical services at compensated rates. Though through its income it could provide bohras deserving free services without any difficulty.

Coming to this mega project, it did not elobrate how would it be funded, how many bohras will get employment oppurtunities. Who are the co sponsorer. Qaid johar bhai saheb in a photo up with maharashtra chief minister tell a tell tale story. Will the remaining salebale space be reserved for bohras only. let me also remind, what will happen to those banks in the area, because according to our official stand, any business with banks are not allowed. Though many banks are tenants in jamat properties.

The karachi quettawalla hospital is the same scenario. Under private quettawalla management in the 1950s and 1960s this hospital was doing an excellent job till the kothar mangement took over. many a lives have been lost.
Another interesting case is in the south eastern u.s.a.. A residential single family home was purchased and turned into a markaz. The county has stopped its use and have given the jamaat a list of changes to be made. small communities in the southeastern united states are tired of some of these ignorant committee members that do not know anything about engineering or construction or anything at all but are making decisions and spending the mumineens hard earned money without any accountability. . The reason they are decision makers and at the right hand of the raza na saheb is not because of their education or character but because they are crooked and cunning enough to rob the mumineen of their hard earned money ; to make the maximum collection to satisfy the ever growing demands of the money hungry bhaisaheb.

The Aga khan Hospital project is comparable with saifee hospital.

A simillar comparision with Bhendi Bazar project will be Al-Azhar park constructed by Aga khan foundation. It costed around 1500 cr. and It was a gift of Aga khan to people of cario. Currently Egypt government gets all the income from the project.

The project include the restoration of 1.5 kilometres of the 12th century Ayyubid wall and socio economic initiatives in the neighbouring Darb al-Ahmar district. These include housing rehabilitation, microfinance, apprenticeships and healthcare. The Park itself attracts over one million people per year.

The project also include historic building rehabilitation - 14th Century Umm Sultan Shaban Mosque, the 13th century Khayrbek complex, and the Darb Shoughlan School

Why dont you give this sermon to your beloved moula who refuses to acknowledge his own mother and her grave and even during his umpteen visits to surat he visits only the graves of the late dais with due pomp and show (being carried in a palkhi by his slaves) but have you seen him visiting his own mother's grave which is just next to that of the late dais ???? Have you heard him shower praises in honour of his mother the way he does for his wife on any and every given occassion ????

Very well said.......
Is it possible that JANNAT is missing from the life of Syedna (since he does not show any respect to his mother or talks about her) and that is why they promote TA QAYAMAT JEEVO as he does not have to worry about JANNAT.

A community of around 2 lac makes sincere efforts in providing affordable and cheap houses to its fellow members. And here we have a dawoodi bohra community of more then a million which is milked dry by its leader and inspite of having trillions of rupee stashed in their various local and foreign banks, it does too little for its followers.

Mumbai Mirror dtd 5.10.2009.

For nearly a decade, shop attendant Vasant Savla moved from one rented house to another, hoping that even with his meagre salary, one day he’d be able to live under a roof he could call his own. However, two years ago, his family was able to buy a one-room flat at Nalla Sopara, thanks to a community trust that offered him the flat at a highly subsidised rate. Now, the same trust has plans to construct a much larger scheme at Dombivli for other members of the Kutchi Visa Oswal community.

“Living in a rented house meant that we had to shift from one house to another. We lived in houses that did not have reliable water supply and were located near large drains,” said Savla, who earned Rs 6,000 a month, but was able to buy the Nalla Sopara home for Rs 2.25 lakh.

“There are thousands of families living in rented homes or in unsanitary slums. These families have monthly incomes ranging between Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 and are not in a position to buy homes of their own. We want to provide decent accommodation to them,” said Vasant Galia, chairperson of the Kutchi Jain Foundation (KJF).

KJF has built over 300 subsidised houses in several colonies at Nalla Sopara, which home seekers like Savla were able to buy at only a third of the flat’s value.

With its Dombivli project – its biggest housing scheme yet – the foundation will put 1,008 subsidised homes on offer. The trust has already bought 11 acres of land in Dombivli (E) for the project, which will be inaugurated after Diwali and is expected to cost around Rs 80 crore

But the foundation does not fund its projects alone – it receives help from many affluent members of the community. The Kutchi Visa Oswals – who number around two lakh in and around Mumbai – include prominent businessmen such as owners of Navneet Publications and Amarsons department store.

At Nalla Sopara, one of the many subsidised housing colonies has been named Amarsons Nagar after the business family that subsidised its construction cost.

The Dombivli community will be named Navneet Nagar, as it will be partially financed by the owners of Navneet Publications. The flats – which will range in area between 350 and 500 square feet – will cost just half of the current market price of Rs 2,200 per square foot. The complex will include Derasars or Jain temples, Upashrays or monasteries and homes for senior citizens

I don't know about Bangalore but please check heavily subsidized house in Vishakhapatnum. If you will go thru the conditions, you will realize that there is no difference between rented house and own house. Actually poor mumenins are cheated by Jamat.

I have been told by a very reliable source that the underworld is now telephoning the residents of Bhendi bazaar to handover their property to kothar and accept whatever compensation is offered to them. This is very much believable because it is the unwritten norm in Mumbai that no developer can finish his project anywhere in Mumbai unless and until he has an understanding with the underworld and politicians. Needless to say that the kothari chamchas on this board will vehemently deny this fact.

bro. ghulam muhammad,

this is quite possible and indeed must be happening. but the fact is that the kothar will have or must have given already, these goons quite a substantial sum for them get involved on the kothar's behalf.

well another case of "chor na bhai ghanti chor".... or birds of a feather flock together!

It seems that the Bhendi Bazaar mega project is on a shaky ground. A few months back one pan shop at pakmodia street corner was sold for a whooping Rs.22 lacs and another 2 shops next to it (malampattiwala shops) were also sold. All the three shops now serve fast food. Hence, if at all the said project was to take shape then why would people sell off their shops now and not wait for kothar to give them a spanky modern accomodation which they promised which would then fetch them a far better price ?

Dawood sells off prime plot attached by I-T

MUMBAI: For the past nine years the income-tax department has been unable to auction most of the properties owned by Karachi-based don Dawood Ibrahim. But in a smart move, the don has sold off his prime properties on Pakhmodia Street in Bhendi Bazar area and received the money by hawala, sources in the security establishment said.

The building on this plot was demolished by the BMC a few years ago and today only its debris remains. The property is expected to be part of a cluster development project. "Since the don has already got his price, he will not threaten anyone buying this property in an I-T auction," a police official said. In fact, he is believed to be using the same modus operandi to liquidate his other properties as well.
