sunni is the majority, shia is a small minority in india, dont know the proportion though.

well, i guess sherry, DQ or one of the girls give u a better answer

[Mayavi Morpheus]

mmmm... I was under the impression that India has a Shiite majority muslim population. I may be wrong though.

[helper]

Hi control, always enjoy your posts.



you know there may not be any genuine survey on this issue, since there was no need ever. but it could be that they are much less than 1%.

[CtrlAltDel]

but it could be that they are much less than 1%.

considering the fact that muharram is a holiday in most places and its a shia festival, i think shias are quite a large number...definitely more than 1%

For DQ - Ctrl+Alt+Del & Rock, Just a correction - I think for AC Guard the real name is Arabian Countries Guard where the security persons from arabian countries like saudi, dubai and kuwait & others use to work for nizam during that time.

no, its "Abyssinian Cavalry Guards" where Nizam's soldiers frm Abyssina (Ethiopia) stayed. they were black africans and their descendents are still found in that place.

The majority across the globe is Sunni.



Even in India and HYD, the ratio is between 70-20 to 90-10



Hyd has a sizeable majority though Accounting for upto 2 million shias.



The fact that Shias a few in number id due to the following reasons.



- Over history they have been systematically eliminated.



In India Aurangzeb ordered the mass killings of Shias.

Even in the Nizam period, if Shias were found they were locked up or killed. This continued upto the sixth or 7th Nizam who converted to Shiism.



Hyd itself was created by a Shia dynasty (Quli Qutub Shahs). Hence has a lot of historical artifacts and remains historically important to Shias world over.



- Recent history shows

The Taliban massacared over a million Shias in Afghanistan.

Saddam Hussein is guilty of massacaring another million as well as forcing them towards the borders during his infamous wars of Iran and Gulf.

Most of the Arab states, the stringest being the Saudi kingdom, who have eliminated most of the Shias.

The surviving tribes have been denied the most basic eminities. The oil rich nations poorest of the poor are Shias.



About Muharram being a public holiday. The significance of Muharram has been observed by Muslims (Shias and Sunnis) and Hindus, Sikhs alike for 800 yrs atleast in recorded history. Hence was a major occasion and continues to be of national significance and hence a Public Holiday.

Really? man, the population of he city is around 5-6 million and lets say here is a 60-40 divide between the muslims and the hindus, then, roughly the muslim population would be about 3 to 3.5 million and of that 20 or even 25%, which lets say is shia, would nt make up 2 million man.

Yeah DQ, the population is not more than 6 million, they reached the 5 million mark a few years ago.

Oh ok, Maybe I am talking about the Internal Shai Stats.



The Muharram prepration that take place in the old city, the recent figures were fro two million people converging maybe it also includes those from places like, Bhongir, Ibrahimpatnam, Machlipatnam and other parts of the country as well.



During the first 10 days of Muharram there are around 2 million people in Hyd alone.

wow! didnt know all that! maybe that also explains the affinity of iranians towards hydbad!

- The Taliban massacared over a million Shias in Afghanistan.
Saddam Hussein is guilty of massacaring another million as well as forcing them towards the borders during his infamous wars of Iran and Gulf.
Most of the Arab states, the stringest being the Saudi kingdom, who have eliminated most of the Shias.

at least in india they live peacefully now, unlike the arab states!

The significance of Muharram has been observed by Muslims (Shias and Sunnis)

ok...! didnt know sunnis also observed it. do they perform the self-flaggelation too?

and Hindus, Sikhs alike for 800 yrs atleast in recorded history.

yes, i have seen that in the old city and a few towns in AP and north karnataka (erstwhile nizam's territories)...i had attributed it to nizam's reign!

[lizard king]

And one more fact is that, the majority of muslim community if rural telangana is shia, i dont know why this is so. i was guessing if it was cos of the hatered towards them in eh sunni dominated era's.

man.. we are so lucky, not to be like pakistan or any other islamic country when it comes to sunni-shia clashes.
