During Moharam Shia Children Do Not Require Parental Guidance


And most of them cut their heads a ritual known as Kama Zani or cutting their chests with blade known as Blade Matam , or scourging the back known as zanjir mata.

Shia kids also walk on ire on the Khandak ritual known as Ak Ka Matam.

And the blood letting rituals happen predominantly on 10 Moharam known as Ashura , 40 day of Moharam known as Chehlum and the last day of two month eight day mourning period known as Athvi.

Shia kids also do the same Moharam rituals during 21 Ramzan Martrdom of Imam Ali .

Mostly parents dont tell their kids anything, and this is the only time he has control over his actions..

we both are lucknow born..

the shia is related by blood to all other shias.. we have the same hussaini blood group

I Was Sponsored By Princess Zehra To Shoot Blood Sweat And Tears Of Her Children

shooting pictures was very easy .. it was saving emotions that was tough

if only death could kill a shia...

the shias have been persecuted for 1400 years .. for telling the truth terrorism exists in islam.. yazid is more alive than dead

i shoot blood as clearly as the dreams in a persons eye

Aye Kash Main Bhi Hota Maidan E Kerbala Main..

Nasl-E-Yazeediat Ko Aisa Sabak Sekhata Naam-O-Nasab B Apna Har Fard Bhool Jata
