Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court
In the presence of this lady STS mentioned to her "Do you want to see 53th Dai ? and he pointed it out to SKQ who was present along with SMS who was Mazoon then. I am sure STS wanted SKQ to be the 53rd da'i. This is clear from many things. He may also have told SMB to do nass on him, which SMB...

Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court
Here is the final part of the plea made by SKQ (and carried over by STF) to the Mumbai court. Before I present it below, a few comments: The FD side has agreed not to file any other suite anywhere on the Earth till this Mumbai case is over. Apparently, they tried to file something in Utah (god knows...

Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court
When billions of dollars are involved, nothing is beyond possibility. In fact, SKQ himself said that one reason why SMB did not openly declare the nass was the "swords would be drawn". Also, SKQ claimed that there were three attempts on his life. I have seen bomb squads sweeping the masjid...

If I was Muffy (LA), I would fire the guy holding the umbrella. He did a very bad job: not even one iota of shade was provided by the umbrella.

Re: "The great unwashed"
The defining trait of a modern Bohri is cowardice. This is the main reason for the failure of the Progressive Movement, as discussed here many, many times. At this point, to hope that the "masses" will revolt is to hope that hell will freeze. Or that Muffy and his brothers will suddenly re...
