Husseni Brahmins- Hindu Followers of a Muslim Imam

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.

"Perhaps the most intriguing case of Hindu veneration of Imam Hussain is to be found among the small Hussaini Brahmin sect, located mostly in Punjab, also known as Dutts or Mohiyals. Unlike other Brahmin clans, the Hussaini Brahmins have had a long martial tradition, which they trace back to the event of Karbala".

very interesting indeed.

So they are in Punjab. May be thye should be called and request them to merge with Burhani bohras. They should be given some seperate titel - say, Bhrahbahi or Duttzadas .... !!! Anyways burhani bohras are going that way - some day we will have pic or dai or imam in mosque too and may be statue too (the photo has to change itself to statue) and the time will come when kothar will ask bohras to have statue of dai or imam at home (like some hindu god) - Kalee kee maurti ho saktee hay tau Dai kee kiyon nahee ho saktee ..!!!

You know WHAT THOUGH, JC? I bet you they are GOD-LOVIN' (and God-fearing) ordinary folk, so I LIKE 'EM! We've got the HINDU DOCTORS here where I live (MD's ALL), dedicating their new multi-million dollar TEMPLE this month. I'm sure they believe they are SELF-approved from HEAVEN (just like the Presbyterian "Christian" Doctors in their brand new glass castle). SO YOU SEE, it is the Fundamentalists and Elitists (CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM-AND-HINDU) who are squeezing EVERYONE ELSE OUT...just like Saif's "article" says.
