Dariyawala Alam Carter Road Bandra
I shot this event on 8 Moharam at Carter Road Bandra for two years 2008 and 2009..
It was a nostalgic event as it has its roots in Lucknow the famous Daryawala Alam that starts at Daryawali Masjid ,,I shot this event once in Lucknow too.
However as I dont shoot Moharam in Mumbai and document Ashura and Chehlum in other cities ,,, these are now pictorial memories.. and as I have been shooting Carter road for several years , this too becomes a very significant segment ..the majlis here is recited by Maulana Yasoob Abbas of Lucknow son of erstwhile Maulana Athar Sab.
This documentation is part of my set on Shiasm in India
Dariyawala Alam at Carter Road Bandra, I shot this in total sincerity, trying to show you the grief of Imam Hussain as celebrated by Indian Shia Muslims.
Hussainiyat Zindabad is a voice of sanity and the universal reign of spiritual peace , tolerance among all Faith.
Moharam should be seen as such.
A revolt against Terrorism...that has spread its evil head destroying the basic tenets of the foundation of mankind.
Moharam is a 1400 old protest and shall continue...against Yazidiyat,,
Yazid was the Father of Terrorism.. against Humanity ,.

A tribute to Hazrat Imam Hussain(AS)
1400 years ago one man with an Army of 72 stood for truth against an Army of 10,000~30,000. His cause was noble as was his grandfather's, Muhammad(PBUH). Apparently they lost the battle but it was soon proved that who won and who lost it in real terms. They fought to the last man but didn't surrender to the vicious armies of Yazid. This epic is one of the greatest examples of human faith, courage, tolerance and bravery. Verily said,
Qatl-e-Hussain asl mein murg-e-Yazeed ha
Islam zinda hota ha hur Karbala k baad
Darya khajil tha sabz pharaire mei'n thi wo leher
Sabza bhi iske ishq mei'n khaaye hue tha zeher
