This kid surprised me no less every single day from 6th Moharam to Ashura I saw him slashing his forehead with an unimaginable quality , and he wore the same dress , he was at Savoy Byculla he was at Amin Imambada later at Kaiser Bagh on 9 th Moharam..
On 10 Moharam he was at Amin Imambada again slashing himsef..
Now mind you nobody coaxed him, no one told him to do what he was doing..
This is one aspect of self mutilation that cannot be termed child abuse..I talk about kids in the age group of 8 to teenagers,,
At the Fire Matam I saw a kid about 8 years old coolly walk the fire without running..
So the Shia kid has a unique sense of devotion to Ahle Bayt and specially Imam Hussain.
At the Majlis it is these kids that keep shouting Ek Nare Hyderi Ya Ali a spiritual slogan, a powerful slogan that does not find favor with a coterie of Maulanas affiliated to the Iranian clergy..and whose funding comes from Iran.
The Shia fabric of Faith is already eaten by termites from within the Shia Wahhabis and other radical Shia elements who want to do away with the hosting of Azadari per se..I somehow stay away from congregational discourses and away from all religious controversies , I shoot pain external from which blood flows and the internal one from which a dam bursts and tears flow..
No Alim is bigger than Hazrat Ali..period.
Ek Nare Hyderi Ya Ali is the Soul of our religiosity the scaffolding on which hangs the flesh of our Shia faith..
