Dawoodi Bohra Forum

I was wondering if someone could tell me exactly who bohri people are and how they became. I have bohri friends and i am very interested in learning

thanks for the link but ive been looking at them already. Can someone maybe tell me where i can get books from to learn the basics

The following article may give you an idea about Bohras:

The Bohras: Religion and Spirituality

You can also go through other articles on the Reform Issues page.

Clueless: Here is clue for you
Get,beg, borrow or steal the book, " Mullahs on the mainframe" by Jonas Blank (?) . it is very detailed, balanced and comprehensive book and you will learn a lot about bohras. And please don't call us bohri. This book is also available on Amazon.com or you can also order from your library. Most or infact all Indo-Pak Bohras are all converts from Hindu Brahmins starting from Imam Mustansir's time.

im sorry

Kaka Akela:

You allude the illusion/myth that "" Mullahs on the mainframe" by Jonas Blank (?) . it is very detailed, balanced and comprehensive book"

balanced? - my eye!!

Read the following:

1. Topic: Why is Jonah Blank's book considered biased by reformists??

2. I wrote to Jonah Blank a few years ago after he wrote an article in an American Magazine (US and the World!!)about the Bohras.

Apparently he had secured his Ph.d doing a thesis on the Bohras. He had gone to Bombay where the Kothar had aided and fetted him (at Saifee Mahal, I suppose)to write the very subjective thesis after being fed with all the slanted and self-serving stuff about the Bohras.

He reckoned in his article that the Bohras were the most modern sect in Islam. (what?? - with all those fundamental practices of Saayo, Topi, Dadhi and Rida, extortions, misappropriation and appropriation of Community trust funds and
properties, FGM, shunning,poor josh maatam etc.etc.etc)

When I asked him about the Bohras following that barbaric and illegal Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)practice, he responded that he had discussed the practice with HH and HH denied that the practice existed in the Community.

I responded that HH was using another practice called "Taquiyah" ato conceal the truth, Mr. Blank was not sure !!
I think he also indicated that he had either met or heard of Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer and was aware of this Progressive Website when I challenged him about his objectivity being adulterated by the Kothar.
