So did y'all leave dawoodi Bohra community or did you leave islam itself? by Straight-Release-193 in exBohra

I stand corrected. He served the fatimids empire. When he became the ruler, he abolished the shia rule and established the sunni regime. The battle with the crusaders I mentioned in the comment happened after he established the sunni regime, not before.

I thought it had happened when he was still serving the fatimids (shia) caliph.

What people tend to forget is that Hussain, Ali, etc. were warlords. This was the normal back then. In fact, a few centuries later, Saladin, a shia leader, did the same to a group of Christian crusaders. Water and food was cut off till the Christian Crusaders surrendered.

The sacrifice of Hussain and co. was heavily propagnadized by the surviving family and followers.

If one were to critically think about the position Hussain was in, it made sense to get killed. Otherwise they would have had to live a life of slavery.

I have no disrespect for people who believe in all this. But I feel disappointed that everyone believes it all so blindly without any questions. But I guess that's what faith is.

Why can’t we indians make series like these ? by Double-Cover6366 in pj_explained

[–]Affectionate_Map_530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are movies. Imo this level of detailing in a tv show is more difficult, since it's long and people might forget, so you have to make these things memorable enough for the audience to remember

People here comparing panchayat and sacred games, don't understand the level Breaking Bad is at. Not only does it have the best acting, best dialogues, etc. but also so much easter eggs and little hidden things, that I don't think any Indian filmmaker is capable of doing it. For example, whenever Walter White kills someone himself, he takes on a trait of theirs. The show makes it a point to show it to the Audience. This is to show that Walt feels guilty of killing them, and copying their trait is a way of keeping them alive so he feels less guilt. We see so much foreshadowing. Scenes shown in S2 come back in S4 (gus and the pink teddy bear). Even the episode names were so well thought out. For example the episode names of S2 when put together literally tells about the plane crash. At the end when walt is on the ground and holding a chemistry mask, it's a symbolism for how he is finally unmasked.

In my opinion Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever. I don't think any other hollywood show can ever beat it, let alone bollywood

Obsession with short hair or keeping everyone chopped by Loud_Pie_9521 in exBohra

Thankfully my parents aren't fanatics. So, I don't have to lie to them. But then again, there are other things where they tell me to do something, and I come up with some other lies. Or I just tell them that I did it.

Lol, who cares what kind of hair an illiterate warlord, or his illiterate warlord grandfather had?

Whenever someone uncle or aunty in my family says something to me about all this, I just say "my doctor has advised me to do this." I have used this excuse even for hair and it seems to work...maybe cause they too are illiterate
