Reform = ???

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.

Why should they?

How else will they hide all their lies, and true adaavat of our beloved Dai?

Brother, believe me, they need a smoke screen!!!

FYI… the smoking/non-smoking info is part of the standard form you fill out when booking a hotel room. This choice is important for non-smokers because they would not want to stay in a stinking "smoking room". Even if Sayenda saheb waned to stay in a hotel his minions will have to make this choice.

Mumluk, it looks like you've just discovered that there are actually people who dare to challenge the decadent orthodoxy of the "royal family". Welcome. BTW, your fulminations and foaming-at-the-mouth is quite funny.

Arey Babu,

Remove the Smoking/Non-smoking option in "Information required by hotel"

For those who don't stay in Musafar Khana's this is must have info. for any hotel. How else does a Ritz Carlton know that you don't smoke ?

You should be on a mission to ensure that every Ziyafat giving Dawoodi Bohra who owns a Holiday Inn, does not provide smoking rooms.

Now that's a worthwhile cause....please spend a year on this effort and report back.

you will be able to buy syedi shaikh sadiqali's book in any bookstore in bhindi bazaar. it was only rs.80 when i bought it a year back. but, what will you do with the book? it talks mainly about ikhlaas, tafaadi, tawhid and khidmat of daizzmaan. it does not talk about money. no use for you.
