These are Sunnis from Rae Bareilly unlike the Shias they wear red pants but after the matam they do the red pants really become red with blood.. and their intensity can be gauged by their love for Imam Hussain..

Fatwas by hardcore Sunni mullahs has not stopped them from displaying their public fervor ..their identity as Sunnis is their ancestry but their pain is universally supporting theShias of Hyderabad.. taking part in Ghame Hussain.. I cut my head with the Shia but was proud to do matam with the Sunnis of Rae Bareilly.. they offered me a blade to cut my chest I politely refused I had pictures to shoot my head was bleeding profusely..
