Hussaini Brahmins..

The Look /Coincidence of Faith
This is the young lad that put me in my place with his penetrating glare..and I have a strang e story to narrate at the majlis on Sunday at the Lucky decorator house ..I was going for the Niyaze Hussain lunch.. on the way I came across a Maulana in my path and he moved in such a way as though I was a leper he mistook me for a Hindu..because of my dreadlocks, I muttered and cursed him under my breath.. forgot the incident..
Late the same evening I remembered I was called by Mr Shabib Rizvi at the Rizvi Foundations and I dont know what made me go..When I reached there was telling Shabib about the incident of the Maulana who had snubbed me in the morning.. also about my trip to Ajmer and the words Shah Ast Hussain Badshah ast Hussain Deen Panah Ast Hussain.. and how I went only to see those words of Amir Khusro engraved on a wall.. from old times..at Khwaja Garib Nawazs Tomb..
While I was talking the Maulana who arrived to recite the majlis was the same guy who had snubbed me and the topic he was talking was on the Holy Koran.. he digressed went to add the words of Khwajas tomb Badshaah ast Hussain.. that I had mentioned before he came.
Did God want to tell him that perhaps I too had faith under a guise of a Shia and eyes can make you look like a Hindu..or a Christian but the base material is Human..
Later I called up Shabib Rizvi and told him the coincidence and went last night too.. with a friend Raza Ali khan..
And the maulana is a terrific orator from Quom Iran and he is related to Shabib..Maulana Zaigam Rizvi.
update
I feel disgusted at the attitude of some Shias, who live in India and yet consider Hindus , as untouchables, I feel like throwing up, perhaps todays Shias dont know about the Hussaini Brahmins , well you can go to the erstwhile Nawab Jafar Mir Abdullah,, of the Avadhi Nawabi Khandan, extension of Sheesh Mahal Lucknow ,I was at his house this morning, the Hindus that had come to Iraq to fight for Imam Hussain, in Karbala , sent by Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, had stayed back, and their progeny , was the gift of Imam Hussain, they made a mark on their throats as a reminder of their loyalty to the Imam, though it was prophesised they would not have a male progeny, his wish was granted by Allah for his love of Imam Hussain..
Mr JP Dutta , Sunil Dutt Saab, and an eminent Colonel Vijay Saab who has their genealogy history, hail from Hussaini Brahmin ancestors, this insight was given to me this morning by the Nawab.. a distinguished scholar of the history of the Shia Faith .a thorough gentleman and good host..
I think I feel much proud when I am called a Hindu..when I tell Muslims some of the racist ones of my Shia parentage , they call me a Hindu or Kafir anyway.
