The Shia Baluchis Lovers of Imam Hussain




The Shia Baluchis come from all over Maharashtra , predominantly from Kalyan Thane Kalwa area I know most of them as they sell glares etc at Kalyan station , and are a very honest enterprising hardworking race, fiercely proud of their Baluchi heritage and culture and tradition.

They come to Mumbai in hordes during the Chehlum Arbaeen feast of mourning for the Shias all over the world.

The Baluchi nobility lies buried in Rehmatabad Shia cemetery, their graves are made of ornate Iranian tiles and are really beautiful piece of art and creativity.

I have a lot of Shia Baluchi friends but have been unable to visit their Imambadas in Kalwa and Mumbra.

The Shia Baluchis hold pride of place in our Shia community they stay among themselves and hardly mix with the other Shias.

They are a peace loving community congenial polite and good natured .

Their children are absolutely living dolls ..
