Why is title “miya saab” more respected, revered and expensive as totally opposite to title “miya bhai” ?

There is no such title given as "Miya saab". In olden times all Mashaik were called Miya saab because of their ilm. now a days when Sheikhs are any one with dispensable moolah so Miya saab is confined to Sheiks from Jamea or who are educated in Bohra Ilm. Funny thing is that All Sheiks irrespective of their ilm or takwa level wants to be called with honorofic Miya saab and some times their chamchas will point it out to you that dont call Shek saab call Miya saab.

Now a days the title miya saab is very popular in dbs for those rich abde who gets money through haram routes & have no any type of izzat in jummat.These gunda type of abdes purchase this type of title by their ill gotten money from crook clergy .
