Where is Next Moharram Tamasha

[SBM]

Every year Moharram Tamasha moves from one country to another. Pakistan in now OFF LIMIT due to Shia-Sunni Strife, Due to mass stealing and uncivilized behavior, no more Dubai, They had couple of years in Sri Lanka now look at this news in Sri Lanka
http://news.yahoo.com/fears-sri-lanka-a ... 26873.html
So it seems Africans should have all the Naemats and Sajda-e-Shukar for hosting all the next Moharram Tamasha. They can stay in Sajda-e-Shukar ta Qiyamat for this azeem Naemat,
Many Jamaats in India are shying away from hosting this Azeem Naemat too.....

Not to knock on Pakistan, but they've been "off-limit" for a quite a few years now. Due to the situation there I guess I could understand why. It doesn't help that if bohras act the way bohras do in Pakistan, it will not only intensify the outrage against us (rightfully so even if the outrage is extreme) but it'd likely further fuel the flames of sectarian violence already going on in the country.

I personally do not think Ashara would occur out of India mostly because of Moula's health. Then again if it's completely about money Mufaddal bhaisaheb might go somewhere but the output wouldn't likely be the same. I've observed that in the past few years (particularly since Moula's health has started to deteriorate) it's become common practice for foreign bohras to buy tickets to India for themselves/family a few days before Moharram.

tamasha is best where people like such tamashas and that is bhindi bazaar and chor bazaar. such ridiculous money minting schemes and pain and suffering for the mumineen to prepare for these white garbed mullas should stop.

we dont have any bohras in bangladesh,burma or nepal?

[think]

A small bohra jamaat is present in rangoon. They also have a mosque and a bhai saheb. Dawoodi bohra's are also present in Thailand, Indonesia and Malasia.

Do you seriously think that the zaadas care for his health ??? They will parade him in a palkhi in any corner of the world. Didn't you notice how the ailing Dai was brought from the Saifee Hospital bed straight to Raudat Tahera and showcased in a glass cage during his birthday celebrations ? As long as "Brand Burhanuddin" sells he will be paraded anywhere and everywhere.

if smb is still alive, moharram tamasha will be repeated in mumbai this year. but its still too early to speculate.

but if smb passes away, muffy will most probably hold the annual picnic in east africa. he too, like his father, loves the adoring minions there, he loves their adulation, their willingness to do reverse sajdas, their blind faith and devotion and most of all, immediately after the strain of leading the brainless masses into aplocalyptic bouts of frenzied maatam for 10 days, with tear-jerking bayans full of fiction, he can find release from his sorrows on the shahadat of hussain by proceeding on an elaborate safari trip into the wilds of africa where he can annihilate a few dozen elephants, lions, leaopards, etc.

africa affords the best options in terms of a) income, b) servile mobs, c) numbers, d) food and drink, e) post-ashura entertainment. as we say all bases are covered - kh, p, ch.

but there is always a possibility that his tastes and priorities may change.. what if he decides to take up alligator hunting as a sport and decides to host the next bash in florida?? all north americans and foreigners will love to flock there, an exotic destination. wow! and imagine the perfect marriage of crocodile hunting with crocodile tears!!!

Moharram seems to sell (at it's fullest) wherever the Dai himself is. People tend to find it more convenient to travel to India rather than other foreign places (or atleast that's where a good deal book their tickets to first) which is why I think that by not being with the Dai, the turnout for Ashara at foreign venues would likely be considerably lower (not to mention the threshold for more financially bereft attendees would be less). It splits the congregation. Despite other perceived perks.

Tamasha is tamasha wherever held. Let it be Africa ...!!!!
Is 52nd is alive by then it will have to be Mumbai then or else I guess Muffi is comforable in Africa.

If 53rd (Muffi) takes over and if 53rd (Khozema) is also there do you think there will be TWO tamashas?? If yes, I guess Qutbi Mela would be in USA (and I might go ..
