The Shias are a unique race among Muslims , having an identity that cannot be diluted, though desperate attempts have been made by vested interests and the Shia Wahhabis, talibanisation of Shia Islam is a daunting task , but an agenda kept alive by the enemies of Hussain and the enemies of Shiasm.
Azadari of Hussain , our blood , our sweat our tears differenciate us from other communities, we are one as Muslims , but we go a step ahead we believe in Ahle Bayt, and the supreme sacrifice of Imam Hussain..
We are also known as Aliwales, followers of Hazrat Ali..
Its our black shirts our mourning , our scourgings our blood and gore that upsets the radicals and others..
But this is a legacy preserved since 1400 years, that erupts each year when we raise the chant of our spiritual freedom Ya Hussain..
We will curse Yazid , and his followers, this is a Shia fundamental right , we call this Tabarah, we will curse the enemies of Shiasm, this is to remind the world we forgive but some acts of omission and commission we dont forget.
We are human so we think this way, we are emotional, hyper about our sensitivity
to Imam Hussain.
We are Shias..a persecuted race since time immemorial, our collective ethos of being Shias has been hijacked by other sects also who when they split from the main body also called themselves Shias.
Or those leaders like the one at Khartoum, who conveniently called himself the Mahdi, fighting the English in Sudan.
I am not a historian, anbd do not wish to delve in Islamic discourse.I firmly believe in live and lets other live peacefully...
Being an Indian Shia Muslim , adds to the unanimous mutual respect for all religiosities , save those that hate Shiasm and Shias..
Any religion that tramples on human rights , woman hood , and does not believe in the nationality of the country one lives in is an anti - human religion..and anti -national.
The country comes first , is what I believe it keeps my faith alive , my faith is my personal prerogative, and my country preserves the identity of my humanness and my religiosity.
The Shias are patriots in India and elsewhere, Imam Hussain did not want his people killing each other causing bloodshed at Medina that he chose Karbala , and the Imam did not want bloodshed at Karbal too, so he asked to leave for Hindustan..
by this fact alone Hussainiyat becomes of chief importance to the Indian Shias..
a Hussainiyat that is another name for Humanity.
