two brothers 1 is abde another progressive

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.

Similar thing happened in another small town in India a while back (~50-60 families then, more people now). One family had major disagreement on masjid construcion. The family was boycotted by the jamaat. They were not allowed to be invited to any public or private functions in town. Ladies couldn't attend ladies majlises, etc. The family tried to bear the brunt of boycott for several years, finally gave in and gave a public apology (maafi nama) and were allowed in again.

The point is, Syedna through the local jamat/Amil is using the powerful weapon of social boycott which really hurts when you are in a small town. In India this has been used so effectively that no one dares to say anything against this, sad reality ...

In in city Bombay, Fakhruddin Khorakiwala owner of Famous Akberallys and Bohra Directors and staff of Bombay Mercantile Banks were excommunicated and Syedna Burhanuddin Saheb did not budge inspite of hard-hitting exposure in the media. Such is the hight of his arrogance!

Mustu, this story is very common. This is how dissidence and opposition is dealt with. The Kothar knows the secret - that people need the community and will suffer all kinds of humiliation to be part of it. Aqs and others, please note this is one of the main reasons why abdes do not join reformists. Every isolated act of opposition will be defeated. It's a pity that nobody supported the brother, or the Kohrakiwalas or many others. If only a few more people had joined them or supported them things would have been different.

The daI did budge but after Fakhrudin Khorakhiwala was summoned to dubai (where the dai was holidaying) and after he had to pay a hefty amount to the dai by way of penalty. So you see anything and everything is forgiven provided you are willing to pay the price for it (in this case the payment is to be made to dai bcoz he is the "All-Forgiving" for the abdes).

In Khorakhiwala's case it was ironical that on the very second day that he was ex-communicated, the then mukasir, Salehbhai saab was seen visiting raudat tahera in Khorakhiwala's car. That spoke a lot about the internal rivalry and power struggle.

Brothers Aqa/Guy_Sam and others from the mainstream side:
Do you have any comments, when you insist that there is no compulsion on anything including payments of Sabil, Wajebat, Raza for every occasion etc. This is another form of compulsion where threat of social boycott is used.

this is a sad state of afairs in small towns and hyderabad was also one of them but the mumineen revolted and to day they are free and no longer in chains of slavery from the kothar.
it is the mumineen that give these two penny worth mullas the power and authority and it is only the mumineen that can take it away from them.

br. BM,

i have agreed to the charges of corruption and coercion in few cases but that does not mean people start walking out on Dai himself. These kind of tactics were a common thing in the past but with the advent of modern means of communication things have changed and kothar has also amended its high handedness.

are you talking about few houses on Banjara hills who still support the reformists because as far as i know at the time of inauguration of new masjid in Banjara hills when Syedna(tus) visited Hyderabad a major chunk of dissidents came back to the fold

and the source of all this inside Info is?? or is it again some unnamed insiders.
and regarding marhoom Mukasir saheb no one can really vouch for the incident, can some one??

Sorry to disappoint you but this is no inside information and Iam personally aware of that. Now its upto you whether to believe it or not. For your information, not only the khorakhiwalas but a number of other sidhpuri bohras who had attended the marriage reception of the late Huseni Bhagat's son had to apologise, off course by paying hefty amounts. Also the then amil of chennai, Mr.Kher had summoned all the bohras to the masjid at night and had made them shower "laanat" on Mr.Bhagat. You can verify all of the above from your chennai/sidhpuri sources.

Here also I can really vouch for it because I had seen the late mukasir visiting raudat tahera in khorakhiwala's car just the very next day after the khorakhiwala's were boycotted by kothar. It seems he was in khorakhiwala's two tone cream and bottle green colour Morris car.

The Bohras and their Indian Dais are converts. Initially the mission of Dawat was to invite the people of other faith to Ismaili fath. But today every aspect in the Dawoodi Bohra religious establishment revolve around money. There is absolutely no moral or priciple or fixed policy. If you can meet their demand for money you can get anything done in this slave and money-minded community. Good luck.

This is interesting. The former apologist of the establishment, guy_sam saying that the community is ruled by murderers and extortionists. Extortion is accepted, but can you provide evidence for murder?

Since when did you have a change of heart?
