according to all the latest happenings, india is confirmed, but the city is yet to be announced.
the toronto jamaat has frwded an email issued from dawate hadiyah, north america head office in houston, asking all those of pakistani origin who intend to go for the ashura fun fair and picnic, to submit their names to their respective jamaats immediately so that visas to india can be obtained for them en masse'. individual visa applications may take time, but a collective approach to the indian govt by the kothar will hopefully bring quick results.
i doubt that pune will be in the reckoning, although i do not doubt the fund raising capabilities of the businessman and goonda amil of pune, abdeali. the main masjid of pune in city is surrounded by hindu businessess, roads are very congested and narrow and last time the shops and offices in the area suffered heavy losses due to the influx of ill-behaved bohras who created a lot of chaos and garbage.
mumbai is the safest and best bet, but again who knows? i suppose the hidden imam is mustering up enough strength to whisper a few words in the ears of the syedna, whose father had denied that imam actually exists.
considering this annual logistics nightmare, i suggest that syedna conjure up a totally new city somewhere in india, called burhan nagar, where circus events of such magnitude can be held throughout the year, free from any interference from petty politicians and dawat na dushmano. i would also go to the extent of offering an excellent idea, viz. to situate this in the middle of a dense forest which can be heavily stocked with big game wildlife and where syedna and his family can carry out wanton slaughter and shikar at their hearts leisure, post ashura, in remembrance of the austerity, integrity and ultimate sacrifices of imam hussain and his family.
