Muslim Bohra: Are Muslim Bohras different from other Muslims?

Bohra Muslim Community: Bohra Muslims are a community of Muslims who follow the ideals of the Shia sect. People of this community are mainly engaged in business. If we talk about India, the population of Bohra Muslims in India is more than 20 lakhs. Out of which 15 lakh are Dawoodi Bohras.

Arrival of Bohra caste in India (When did Bohras come to India?)
In the 11th century, the Mustali sect made its way to India through religious preachers. After 1539, when the community grew in India, the headquarters of this sect was shifted from Yemen to Sidhpur in India. After this, the year 1588 came when the Bohra community was divided among themselves due to the followers of Dawood bin Qutub Shah and Suleman. However, there was no significant difference in their religious principles.

Dawoodi Bohras follow the ideals of Shias. They mainly live in cities like Surat, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Dahod in Gujarat, Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur in Maharashtra, Udaipur, Bhilwara in Rajasthan and Ujjain, Indore, Shajapur in Madhya Pradesh. Dawoodi Bohras first came to Mumbai. The number of Bohra Muslim communities is very high in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Unique tradition of Bohra community
In most of the Dawoodi Bohra community, one-time meal comes from a common kitchen. Wherever the Bohra community lives, this community together runs a common kitchen (Sanjha Chulha). The food prepared there is delivered to every house by the people of their own community. Bohra Muslims are very serious about environment and cleanliness.
