Dawoodi Bohra Community in the World
by The status of this small community in the world.
Bohra’s way to go
In man y ways, the Dawoodi Bohra worship like other Muslims, but in others are unique….
Educated, Hardworking, Honest, Non-Fanatic and Patriotic, colorful and out going, and Living With the Times….yet proudly Gujraatis.
Observing the Holy Day of Ashura in Different parts of the world each year has made most Bohras travel around the world getting exposed to different cultures and different tunes. The beautiful multicolored ridhas of the Bohra women is an indication of a sutle blend of the traditional and the modern living of the Bohras…
The Bohra cuisine boasts of the Rajasthani, Gujraati and Moghul cooking and is the best of Indian foods…
Bohras are the only Muslims with the Muslim Calendar … and had the for-sight by banning smoking the day tobacco was discovered 400 hundred years ago.
The Only Translation of the Holy Quran in English, approved by the authority of the Al-Azhar University, is by the renowned Bohra, Yusufali.
The Bohras are the only Community allowed to renovate and upgrade The Holy Shrines of Moulana Husein in Cairo and Karbala, of Moulana Abbas in Karbala and Moulana Ali in Najaf by the respective governments of Egypt and Iraq.
The President of the British Chamber of Commerce, Gulam Noon, of India, is a Bohra, the first non-white, non-Christian in 300 years history of its existence… …and so was the ex-finance secretary of the European Union at Brussels, Bashir Khanbhai of Tanzania…
The City of Nairobi was started by a Bohra, Jivanjee, who also started the first newspaper in East Africa (which is now run as the “Standard”). His statue still is kept by the Government of Kenya in the Jiwanjee Gardens in Nairobi….. The Bohras were the first Indians in the world to venture out of India almost 400 years back and live in the hinterland of Africa, and as far away as China, and for many decades now in the Americas….
All this from only a million of us today…….
