Re: Mazoon Maula is being trageted

I am surprised PDB does not think politically, if they have behind the scenes so be it, to support Mazoom to force the rift. He needs solid support of thousands and a delegation has to visit him to plead that he steps up his claim. If he has not then we need to convince him for the sake o f our fut...

Re: Question to all Bohras

I think what Nafisa wants to know/discuss that why do we Bohra call ourself "bohris or bori". Answer probably is that it has its origin in mumbai, where due to amalgamation with gujrati/marathi speaking crowd, it has rudimented to Bori. The mohalla, which has a large concentration of DBs, ...
